Jump & the net will appear Ever feel like your life isnt as big - TopicsExpress



          

Jump & the net will appear Ever feel like your life isnt as big as it could be? Theres no meaning? Youre not really making a contribution or serving anyone ----except yourself? That was me, until July 2013. I made a decision to quit my life & reboot......to start over and really explore what it is that I truly desired and required for my life to be meaningful, fun......AND challenging at the same time. You see, I had enough of settling for the money. It was great to have, but I spent it as quickly as it came in it seemed. Not always on frivolous stuff, but nonetheless. My life didnt really have a purpose. I started to isolate myself from people and spent many hours alone feeling pathetic-----because deep down I KNEW there had to be more. I was living INSIDE my comfort zone.....and it was the MOST UNCOMFORTABLE place to be. I had stopped growing. Many times I thought, whats the point? All this money.....for what? To take a vacation once or twice a year? To buy stuff I dont really need? (you shouldve seen the pile of clothes, shoes & bags I gave away!!!---crazy!) To have money and no meaning.....almost destroyed me. Dont get me wrong.....money isnt a bad thing..... For me, it just wasnt enough at the time and I was running myself ragged attaining it. I dont want to wait for a vacation to celebrate my life. I want everyday to feel like a vacation-----because I choose to! I dont want to feel like I NEED retail therapy anymore.....cuz buying stuff you dont need, doesnt fill the emptiness inside. Can you relate? Its what you GIVE, not what you HAVE that matters. I knew I needed to STRETCH myself....go beyond that lie of comfort that I fooled myself into believing was true. To back up a bit....up until July 2013, I had lived abroad for 16+ years. [S.Korea, Taiwan, Australia & then back to S.Korea again] Something *happened in March, 2013 that woke me up from my slumber of comfort(*life doesnt happen to you, it happens FOR you). I immediately made a new choice.....to leave where I was at and get out of that lazy-boy chair that I felt was my life. As soon as that decision was made......I was lit up with excitement! All I knew was that I had to save up all the money I could until departure date. I made the decision to return to Canada & figure it out from there. I chose to JUMP! ......and guess what? the NET has appeared! Im sharing this story with you first, cuz some of you dont know my story and second, maybe it will inspire you to JUMP as well. Whats the worst that could happen?! Ill tell you one more thing. When I quit my life and left Seoul, many people told me, youll be back. For me.....when I heard that, I made a promise to myself to do everything in my power not to GO BACK....but to go FORWARD........and NEVER, EVER stop moving in that direction. Its just not an option. Now, lots has happend since July 2013, but Ill save that for another post..... Dont be afraid of failing, be afraid of never trying. big love everyone...... j. xo
