Allow Yourself To Take A Leap Of Faith And See What Happens
When I walked away from a 6 figure salary, I thought I made the biggest mistake of my life.
When I bought a one-way ticket, I was drunk. Most poor decisions in my life started with this sentence, so why did I think this one would turn out any differently?
This was not a hasty decision, though. This wasn’t something I decided on the spur of the moment. For 5 years I had talked about and dreamed about quitting my job. I hated my job, ok hate is a strong word. I hated being on the hamster wheel of the “normal” life/world.
I used to get laughed at, “Sara, I thought you would have quit by now,” but you are still here.
Going to work day in and day out. Who does that anymore, right? Well, for 15 years I did, (ok more like 20 years, but who’s counting). Most of us do.
It’s how we survive, we work.
Single, childless. What did I have to lose, what did I have to gain. I already felt like I was dying inside and it couldn’t get any worse, right?
Would I allow myself to take a leap of faith? See what is on the other side of “normal”. Would I allow myself to trust myself fully and actually do it? Or had watched…
