HOW WAS I ABLE TO QUIT MY JOB? My number one secret was adopting a minimalists philosophy in my life! (Take a moment to watch the TEDTalk by The Minimalists below for more insight on minimalism. Its a powerful simple movement that can help liberate you) I got unloaded anything and everything that was not important to my day to day life nor adding value. I gave away all my books. (LIE: more like 90%, because there are some I still like to have) I did give away all my comic books, CDs and cassette tapes (I had thousands). Clothes I didnt wear were all donated. The risk I just took was going to take me for a ride and I needed to be as lightweight as possible. Both mentally and physically. The moment unloaded all that stuff I felt this huge weight lifted from my conscious! Literally. Ultimately I also needed to be low maintenance with as few expenses as possible. PERIOD! Or else this venture was not going to work. What I learned is that not only was this minimalist lifestyle possible, but it was so gratifying and rewarding. To this day I have very few possessions although I do have much more than I did 7 years ago. I need to go through my home and start minimizing again. Minimalism helped me realize how rich I am. The relationships I have feed my soul and make me happy. Many people assume I live on the internet and have no life whatsoever. This is somewhat true since I make a living online and via social media. But the truest truth is that I am out regularly meeting many of you in person. If we havent met yet, then we need to remedy this STAT.
