Happy where I am now without Corporate job


Last year 30th April was my last working day at my Corporate job.

Was I excited about it?

Yes!

Did I have a feeling of uncertainty, unpredictability and instability?

YES!

And here is the thing: whenever I want to change something in my life there is always that “exciting” voice in me that is always present, is always FOR me, that drives me towards my Dream… And there is another “sabotaging” voice that tries to question my ability to start my own business, to convince that I am not good enough, not worthy, etc. At the moment I make the choice I actually decide which voice I want to listen to. That choice determines my life afterwards. And yes, that requires courage and responsibility.

And I know how hard it is to let go that “something” that was bringing you a sense of comfort, security, stability, and control. But if that job, or relationships, or business appears not serving you anymore, why would you still stick to it?

Apparently the mind sticks to that “unserving” part, because at least it is familiar… My mind knows and could analyze what I am “loosing” when I am quitting the job, for example, but it could not know yet what I am receiving instead and what I am creating space for.

And one year later I am happy to be where I am now – to live the life I want, to do the job I love, to have time to learn new things, travel all over the world (up till Covid-19 happened), and to connect with people sharing similar values. Sometimes it is not easy, but totally worth it!

And how often you listen to your “exciting” voice?
