Security and Comfort

A long time ago, in a land far, far away called "Youth & Trust", I thought that hard work at work would get me to the land of prosperity and wealth. Fast forward a few decades, and I have taken the reality tour. I have come to know, understand, realize and accept that no one is irreplaceable in the work place, and the land of prosperity and wealth are not to be found at your office desk. After all, no one ever worked their way to the top and inherited the company, did they?

Wages. This is the problem. Stands for Work And Get Extra Stress. We live with stress, we get used to it, we don't remember life without it. We work to get it, we work with it, some of us can't work without it. Wages keep us tied to the machine. There is no profit in wages, yet we feel we have to have them, even if it means doing something we don't like to get them. Call me Victim #1 for being a believer of this system. I am now an ex-believer.

The Groovy Journey caused me to take a massive detour from Wages and comfort to Reality this past Thursday at 6:30pm. It seems the older I get, the less I am able to live without my principles and standards. Some things just are not worth compromising. The Groovy Journey is nothing without honour. I resigned from my high paying job with the perks, prestige and high end connections on Thursday, February 5th at 6:25pm. I remembered all that I had promised myself this past year and decided to do what would get me closer to my goals.

So, I am firmly on the road again. What does this mean?

1. I am more committed than ever to building a healthy, thriving travel business


2. I want so badly to have financial and time freedom


3. I want to surgically remove The Imp from the deepest recesses of my conscience

How am I going to do this? I am going to freelance my executive assistant skills, and build my travel business as quickly as possible. I am also going to keep an even closer track of my experiences and continue documenting them.

It is a big step! I am excited. I don't have much, but I do have friends, connections, opportunities and hope. It might just be enough. I do know this, though, I am 100% sure that I really want to embrace this opportunity. Resigning my job might just be the best thing I ever did!

Watch this space, and keep your eyes on the road!
