Do you think it was an easy decision for me to lean my safe, well paid corporate job?

The answer is actually YES
Once I had decided
Once my body knew
There was no going back
But to get there took me years
It took me years
I keep writing
“One day I will do something totally different”
I had a deep longing to leave the work I had done for two decades
TWO decades
I was real good at it
I enjoyed it
And I knew there was more
I knew somewhere deep inside that I was ment to do something different
And when I finally eft that safe
Well paid
Full benefits jobb
I had NO idea what was going to do
I had just come to the point where I knew deep inside that I was mentally for something else
I had had a big realisation
In a pool of my own tears
That I had unfinished business
And I was never going to allow myself to die having them all stay unfinished
So I called my boss and resigned
From the leadership position I had finally dears to step into
My bosses mostly thought I was crazy
Leaving to start my own business in the midst of a financial crisis
With no clear plan
And here I am years later
Happier than ever
Free
Live a life that feels meaningful
Spending more quality time with my kids
Enjoying my job
Living a life I don’t want to vacation away from
Do you also know somewhere deep inside that there is more?
