I Quit my Corporate Career to Pursue A Slower Life as a Barista // Stepping into the Unknown

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 ธ.ค. 2024
- Let me share with you my journey of quitting a career path I was on in search of a happier, slower life. I've been lucky enough to have the freedom and ability to leave behind the career I was working towards for 6 years and try a more organic approach to life and my future. I hope this video inspires you to listen to your instincts and to choose the path that makes you happiest in life, not the one that appears on the outside the most successful. We all have the ability to shape the life we want. 🤍

Can't quite believe I'm writing this right now because I never really thought I'd go through with it, but I did. I quit my 90k a year work from home corporate job a few days ago. The feeling of needing to do this had been brewing in me for a while so I started saving up. I didn't save up quite as much as I wanted to but I saved until the point that I felt my health was at risk (daily headaches, poor sleep, blood pressure 170) and decided to give my notice. The job made me feel stressed, miserable and dead inside. I did not enjoy it or my co-workers (except for a few) at all. I didn't believe in what I was doing and frankly part of the job felt unethical to me. Everything was about productivity and quantity. My mind was always always at work, even on my time off, because of the high pressure and never ending workload. Even if I worked 10 hours a day it still wasn't enough to keep up. The timing of it was perfect, my kids will be out of school for the summer soon so I plan to take about 3 months off and enjoy the summer off with my kids. I'll start looking for a part time job once they go back to school, and like she says in the video enough to pay my bills is enough for now. Not gonna lie, it's a little scary because now the future is unknown (career-wise) but sorta exciting at the same time. BTW my blood pressure is back down to normal in the 120s. My body was telling me something for sure.
My husband did this 1 week ago. He was having panic attacks working 12+ hours a day and for nothing but a toxic work environment and no life balance. He is taking his CDL test and plans to become a school bus driver and a substitute teacher. Best decision ever! Kids are loving him home for the summer.
You will do great 👍
I just quitted my job too… I just have money to pay the bills but God I have time now to breathe
I was in a high pressure job for years at a hospital HR with impossible volume of workload and deadlines. It was not getting better but worse, never letting up. I was going to get out but kept putting it off to meet one more financial goal. My heart decided for me when I had a stress induced Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy, “broken heart syndrome”. I thank God I escaped with my life. It could have been a different ending. Still recovering. All this to say don’t put your own life on the line for a soulless company that will replace you in a heartbeat and move on like you were never there. GET OUT NOW before it’s too late. Your family cannot replace you.
🦋 congratulations 😊
It's good that more and more people are realizing what is important in life. Even if you want to quit and lead a life of slow motion and solitude, the people around you will make you feel guilty for doing so. That's the real problem. So,only by listening to yourself and no one else can you really lead the life the way you truly want.
Exactly
Wow
how soon can I quit my job and afford to drink tea in my luxurious living room. Wakin up late and not having to rush to work to afford that wonderful home... How soon can I do that?
How insensitive! Don't I understand the deeper meaning of this video?
I understand that I just stop working my hard job and make some tea, that I could still live in a really expensive house and drink tea... what's wrong with that?
Who pays for that nice house and that nice tea, genius?
Similar to my journey. Palliative Care Nurse to Barista and Bar Manager at a lovely, rural Cafe. I also think how incredibly privileged we are in the western world that we can make the choice of happiness and health over money. So many millions have no such luxury in this short existence.
Very, very true. I feel grateful every day to have had the choice to be able to do this! Best to you.
Thanks for acknowledging that and we do have many more choices.
Thank you for acknowledging that. There is a lot of privilege involved in these choices. For many people, their job IS their wellbeing, or that of their family, in that without it, there is no roof over their head, no food on their table, etc. They don't get to quit just because they don't like it.
If only the “west” would stop shoving this sort of shackled life down everyone else’s throats, so that they too get caught up in this same rat race. The non-western lifestyle was just fine until the west showed up. Here we are thinking it’s the better life. Au contraire.
Good on you for leaving nursing!
I’m currently navigating my way out.
I always say no job is worth your well being...I made a point to get a job where I can clock in clock out and detach and NEVER take work home regardless of my "career". There is no such thing as job security and EVERYONE IS REPLACEABLE and loyalty should be to yourself.
You're right. I found this out after my first "Real job". I discovered that the world plays this massive trick on people, it convinces them that they should go to college, study something reliable that will get you a good paying job and then once you;re in this job you realise that you were played all along. Its like a Yoke is put around your neck and you have to carry it, all the while it takes over your life and bleeds you dry. And it encroaches into your life to the point where most of your physical time is spend in this job but also your mental time and energy is taken up with it answering e-mails, thinking about it, even where you live is determined by this job. I really think the answer is to create your own thing in this world, do something you love and doesnt feel like a chore, something where you get to decide how many hours you work and where you have the freedom to take days, weeks even months off at a time. Either that or get a job in a coffee shop or something similar where when you leave work, its done, you dont bring it home with you.
I gave up my well paid job at 42 it was making me Ill hated the pressure. Then decided to work part time, big big drop in money it was well worth it. Now 56 still working part time, it was the best decision I ever made. Picking my children up from school each day, loved every minute of it. Priceless.
I'm so happy for you! What a brave thing to do.. wow! Cheers to you for choosing such a courageous thing, I bet all those memories are priceless.
waw happy for you
Your story is different from this spoil brat.
How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution
1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only.
If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
@@alejandraalejandra4700 what makes you think she is spoiled and calling her a brat?
I love to see young people valuing a simple life.
Lockdown during pandemic didn't hit us hard but teaches us rather of how beautiful simple life is.
A fast-paced life is stressful and anxious. Taking it slow enable one to enjoy things better. There is a reason why centenarians abound in slow pace regions called the Blue Zones.
This made me cry so much. I stare at the same tree from my cubicle everyday wishing I could live my life instead of typing away for 8 hours. I relate to 100% of this video. Thank you ❤
Awwww go hug that tree ❤️❤️❤️
In tears at my work desk right now. 9 hours to go. I’ve got to make some changes. Thank you for this video.
big hugs, hope you have made the best decision for yourself
@@clairevillanueva8802 I absolutely did. Thank you 🤗
@@bingbong6478 that's great to hear! ❤
I read a quote that went something like " Rich is having lots of money and being wealthy is having lots of time" That really hit home.
I quit my my job as an RN last two years ago after almost 19 years in the field. It was not an easy decision, but life is too short to dread going to work everyday. No amount of money can buy real happiness, but friends I'm not asking you to resign from your job or abandon your business but be wise!
I don't really like my job but I love what it provides for me and my family. This pandemic has people rethinking working
Hello ma'am what do you do now and how did you plan yourself before quitting?
@@eiraantoinette6793 right now I run my own business and While I was still in service I planned towards early retirement, making about 2k weekly from my retirement investment portfolio trying so much to build more side hustles and extra income
@@yvonneerik2510 wow impressive you're making quite a fortune speaking of investing I have heard many people talk about it but I don't really know how to start can you explain?
@@eiraantoinette6793 there's a lot of investing options real estate cr ypto ETFS, stocks but my best advice get a professional lead you into profitable one that's exactly what I did
This is exactly where I am in my life right now. I left my corporate job 5 months ago without a solid plan. I have been learning who I am and exploring my creativity. It’s a beautiful way to live and even though I don’t know what’s next, as long as I continue staying true to myself I know it will bring me joy.

Same here leaving a leadership role in an 8 year corporate environment. The peace is unbelievable. I'll trust God for the money. When my life is over I know I will NEVER say, man I wish I worked more.
that's awesome! Kudos to you! I did the same thing 16 years ago...and have never looked back! It's been challenging yet sooooo rewarding and fulfilling. Don't regret it for a second. Enjoy your process of self-discovery and finding your true calling!
I just left a very toxic corporate work environment at 61years of age, with no time for family home health friends and personal interests - bravo to you for making your decision at your young age. I just did 5 loads of laundry and hung them outside, i found it to be so satisfying and relaxing and to have the time to shop and cook my meals, I’d also forgotten how much I enjoy cooking. Have signed up for Pilates and will commence my home renovations, something I’ve been wanting to do for nearly 15 years now.
Love from Sydney Australia
Wow, thats incredible! I’m so happy for you that you made that change, and are enjoying so many simple things in life! Best wishes to you :)
Sweetheart how I wish I had found your videos 50 years ago..We all get stuck in that roundabout of lfe, leave school, get a job, get married, have kids, keep working to buy that house, that car, put the kids through school, pay the bills etc etc. Along the way we find some happiness, some sorrow and in the end if we are lucky we end up like that fisherman...I am at that stage now. The job gave way to illness at 50, which led to my retirement. The kids grew up and moved away to start their place on that roundabout of life. But getting sick was the best thing in my life. I got to go on a pension, didn't (well couldn't) have to work any more, so spend my time painting, gardening, reading and having the odd social engagement with my hubby or friends and family....life doesn't get any better. We sold our house where we lived but didn't like, but could afford - far away from our families, now rent in a beautiful place near the beach (we could never have afforded to buy), near my family. My daughter in fun sometimes has little digs at me for sleeping in until 10am but I say I have deserved to do that. I started work at 15. Gave all of my hard earnt money to the bank, the plumber, electrician, shops, tax man, power and electric company etc etc. Gave my life for my family because it was the expected thing to do. So much pressure, so much stress along the way...wake up everyone and listen to this young lady.. you cant take that money with you, besides someone else will have their hand out for that hard earnt cash...you could die tomorrow and it would all be for nought...so enjoy your life as best you can for yourself not for what others think you should be or do....and have fun along the way. I personally don't know anyone who has totally enjoyed their jobs they fought hard for. Too much competition, hateful boss, bullying etc etc...life as we know it is tough. **Thankyou for paying homage to all jobs and careers. I hate that word "just".. just a barista, just a waitress, just a cleaner...where would we be without these wonderful people who do whatever job? Everybody is JUST as important as the next....
This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing your story.
I left my 10 year job as a competitive project manager in Canada, sold my stuff and moved to Europe to purse a creative, slower life. Followed my intuition and heart. Everyday is intentional and meaningful … even the “siestas” ❤
❤❤❤ I recently left my job as a project manager in CA, I think I understand what you mean. Giving up a well-paid job & career is a hard decision , bringing up a lot of good questions about life and meaning and self……Hope you are doing well and enjoying your life in Europe!
Hi Cristina Em. What do you do for a living now?
@user-cp8uw7gg1g it was the worst. I was always stressed and anxious.
I had recently quit my job which was not letting me breathe peacefully and people around me started attacking me with questions like "why did you quit? At least you were getting money !!"
" What's next? Time is passing by. Are you going to just sit like that without doing anything?" People always make me feel guilty for choosing to breath and rest and not do anything for a while until I do something else. This had made me feel guilty for not doing anything and I eventually drowned into depression and anxiety about my future. Thankfully my parents are always by my side and my biggest supporters. I am doing much better now and I am not entitled to owe an explanation about my decisions to anyone.
Other’s expectations are so hard. It’s amazing that you staid true to what you wanted and felt was right for you!!! I hope you continue to do well and disregard any negativity!
@@thewonderingmind Thank you so much. People like you give us courage to live life on our own terms. Take love ❤️❤️❤️
Are you living with your parents? You must have been able to make this decision because you have a good amount of savings or someone else is paying your bills on top of their own bills. Not judging you, but it's not simple for others to do what you are doing without parents or other financial resources. Unless you are homeless and truly living off the land. Which is also very difficult to do.
@@coreydarnel In my my country India even if we earn by ourselves, we have to stay with our parents and are not allowed to stay outside our parents home. In this case thanks to my parents who are supportive because I had been facing unfair situations in my job where I had no other options but to leave it. But yes I can't imagine what I would have done if I did not have my parents support. This world is a very cruel place you know. Life is unfair.
@@srotoswinichakladar yes your parents are a blessing to you. I know you will take care of them in their elder years. But do begin to get past what you are dealing with, so you can begin contributing to your own life and future. It's necessary for you, your parents and your future family if you have one.
This was a beautiful video. I quit my job today because my soul was slowly dying at work. Thank you for your video. It soothing my soul right now.
My job transitioned to working from home full time during the pandemic. I now have the flexibility to have lunch with my aging mother, piano lessons during my lunch hour, and the ability pursue education and training for thing I enjoy, not NEED. I am degreed with a 4 year science degree with 30+ years of work experience. This is a nice transition to retirement. With this type of work arrangement, I can work through my 70’s and still have a positive contribution to my paid work and have time for what I want to do with the time saved from not having to drive several hours a day. Welcome to the new, more healthy normal.
I have a remote job but my workload is much more stressful than when I worked from office
I am diagnosed with depression
Nowadays, corporate life is becoming stressful. This video is like a medicine for a healthy life
Misery loves company. Most people are afraid to step out of the corporate rat race for fear of the worst. We cling onto this misery for dear life without truly realizing that we are clinging to misery. This video was just what I needed.

It's difficult for most people as they have debts to serve...most are shackled to 30 years housing loan...I know some of my colleagues can't just walk away though they really hate their jobs....they can't see the way out and see that rat race is normal...
Read the book Who Moved My Cheese. It helped to change my life. Also The Joy of Not Working by Zelensky. He is a Canadian author. Worked as an engineer until things went south. Lovely book. Gives you a lot to think about. Should be on Amazon.
I mean, the bills gotta get paid... I'm sure most people would leave their jobs if they could figure out what to do instead
I cried so hard since finally there’s a video talking about me, my dread of being “just a normal adult”. Deeply resonate. Thank you so much for this piece of art, it means the world to me. I’m dying to leave corporate job forever. It’s been 4 years for me and I need to listen to this video whenever a mental breakdown comes on the days I cannot function as expected by others. I have a plan to leave corporate job at the end of 2024 and hopefully, I’ll find the inner peace, self love, self esteem which have been damaged since forever. Adults are different from each other. Some folks are still kids in a grownup body. Some are tragically traumatized as a child and normality seems triggering, overwhelming as deep down we know we’re incapable of living the way others always do.
Send you lots of admiration from Vietnam 🎁 thank you so much for being our voice.
How are you doing now?
Thank you for talking about this. I am a registered nurse and have a lot of guilt for not picking up extra shifts. Almost all of the other nurses pick up at least one 12 hr shift per week, but I almost never do. I'd much rather spend my days off knitting, reading, crocheting, and playing cello, and no amount of bonus pay is worth that time for me. Thank you for reminding me of my values.
I’m so glad you choose to value your time off! It’s so necessary to recharge and relax and to feel happy, but I know how hard it can be when your peers are choosing something different. It’s also great to hear how someone finds balance in a career, it’s not always about leaving a job! Thanks for all you do as a nurse, and I hope you keep enjoying your lovely days of crochet, knitting, reading, and more. Best to you!
Retired nurse here. I did barely any overtime. They thought I was strange and I thought them crazy. Retired early and am very grateful. No guilt here. I have done more than I ever planned. Burn out can destroy your life if you don't take steps to change things. Being selfish is okay. It means that you love yourself enough to take care of you. Why burn yourself out taking care of others while you neglect yourself?
“Two roads diverged in the woods and I took the road less traveled, and that has made all the difference.” Robert Frost
All the best on your journey. We should all have the courage to live the life we have imagined rather than being a sheep.

We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only.
If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.
Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
Dear Ariana, I can fully resonate with you and your feelings. I decided to leave a very comprimising job 7 years ago. It was 2 years after my graduation from university. Even though I got an excellent degree, did groundbreaking research in the field of microplastics in the ocean, I had not a promising future ahead of me (living in Germany). Society is so stubborn and unflexible, focussed only on monetary success. *sorry for being a little dramatic. However, going into the unknown was very scary but like you said, suddenly so many good things happened! Now, 7 years later, I would NEVER change that. Not a pandemic, not a war in Europe can hold me back from pursuing my dream: which is living independently after my own rhythm. I send you A LOT of energy & confidence for your future. No matter how hard some times will be - as long as you keep moving they will pass by. All the best, Sina
To start to live independently doing nothing you must to have enough money and good support

@@alejandraalejandra4700 Not everyone has the luxury to live independently without an income. Most have to slog through on jobs they dislike to put food on the table and roof over the heads. You don't work you don't eat. Having said that I put my foot down and throw in the towel when a company expects me to drop my personal time at the beck of its call on weekends and after office hours
I truly believe that
I am so proud of you, Sina. Thank you for sharing that.
This is similar to what I’m experiencing now. I studied hard, worked hard for 9 years already, I’m quite successful and well-paid and I mainly like what I do, but the question is the same “what for”. I don’t spend all the money I get, I don’t travel more, I don’t like luxuries things but thrifting do.
What I do love is being outside, enjoying summer which has again passed away while I was at a computer desk. I want to be an artist, to have kids, to care about my family because the family is the future, the company doesn’t last a lifetime. So I might do the same thing

I am so happy for you. I am currently in the exact same space that you had been in, exhausted and burned out from overworking myself just to have money. It's insane how Americans will allow themselves to work to the point of breaking themselves...Well, I have woken to the truth that life and health are more important, and I will no longer sacrifice them for a job! I am about to quit my job. And I feel excited, relieved, hopeful. Thank you for sharing this.
This video is just so beautifully made it brings me so much comfort.
I've been a barista for the past three years for this same slow living you're sharing about. Nice to know I'm not the only one ;)
this resonates with me so deeply, I started crying. it's not that I'm unhappy with my work or at my workplace - I like my coworkers, we get along well. but I do see more of them than my fiancé and I've been unhappy for a while now, but could never quite put a finger on what actually makes me unhappy. I did know I was spending too much of my precious lifetime working, but... this video has opened my eyes. I don't want to spend the next 40 years like this, living for work and only looking forward to the weekends and time off. thank you.
You are remarkable. I just left a 35 year career to do what you are doing. You are an inspiration to us all regardless our age. Thank you for your courage.
On my second architectural design job since graduating last year and I’m feeling the same way you were a year ago. You should be proud of yourself for walking in the other direction, when everyone else is throwing their life away to climb the corporate ladder.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. I had a similar experience after 6 years of working toward being a lawyer. I qualified as a solicitor but knew it wasn’t the right path for me and left. I took 8 months off and it was exactly what I needed to recover from the anxiety and depression I’d been feeling. I wish you all the luck and joy in your journey xx
This is so perfect. So many people don't understand this until they are much older. My younger self is proud of you for taking this brave step. My son is 23, and I am constantly telling him this as I am originally from Europe and now live in America, and the culture here is crazy. I remember being shocked when I first came here, and people told me they never took any holiday. As if it was a badge of honor. You will find your way because you have your priorities right. I look forward to following your journey if you are willing to share :-)
Thank you for sharing your perspective! Your son is lucky to have such a role model. I appreciate your kind words and wish you the best as well 😊
Yes, I concluded the same thing after 10 years in corporate life. It is very narcissistic. Things are worse now. They were much better 10 years ago.
Thank you for sharing! I get you!!! I left my corporate job after 17 years (because I had to in 2022). It was devastating as I was forced out. However it's allowed me to see life from new perspectives and see what else I can do. I also don't know what the future looks like, but believe this happened for a reason. Would love to go for a walk with you!

Hello Laura
This entire video and message resonates with me. Specifically the part of having to cram living in just two days and for a lot of folks, of wich i was one of them, in one day, because i had to work on saturdays as well. It made me ill, stressed out and i hated sundays to the moon and back. The dread started on saturday nights even. I sigh of great relieve now. I do not want all that life has to offer as getting all is exhausting. I just want a nice small portion and to really live each day the good lord gives me. Thank you so much for making this video. Very much appreciated.
Oh my God! I can't believe that this beautiful piece of inspiration just popped up on my TH-cam so randomly yet resonates my life right now. Being an Interior Architect it's been absolute crazy and here I am waiting after my resignation to see what tomorrow brings and of course training for barista was the first thing that came to my mind. Sending lots of love and prayers your way. May we all find what we are looking for.
I’ve been thinking of becoming a part time barista for years…only thing missing and common to all these stories is a husband to take care of the main bills.
This is so beautiful. You are so lucky to be courageous to make such a decision to live life and not be controlled by societal pressures. Your video has been so invigorating and I feel that its really motivating me to spend time mindfully even though I cant leave everything and move into the countryside. I love the content you are posting. Please keep making these videos.
Thank you so much!!! honestly it’s those tiny every day changes of being more mindful that make a big difference in how we see life-sometimes even more so than the big changes like leaving a job. I wish you all the best 😊

This is one of the videos that made me decide to let go of my other jobs and focus more on making myself better and enjoying even just the most simple of things in life instead of sitting in front of my computer for 10 hours.
I can’t tell you how much this is resonating with me. I have my very first baby on the way, due in January, and I’m realizing if I want to continue working full time, I’ll be spending more time with my coworkers away from my new baby. I can’t believe it. I can’t believe the world functions like this. I can’t get over my shock. I’m hoping to go down to a part time schedule, and also hoping my work will still provide benefits since I carry our insurance (another shocking thing, I have to worry about insurance if I go down in hours). Thanks for this video - it makes me feel like there is more to life and my suspicions were right. I have always felt bad for not fitting the mold most others fit. Or maybe it’s just not talked about enough. Love to all of you out there taking the big step to slow down and enjoy life. Maybe society will one day realize it too and slow down as well.
This is like my story..I quit my nursing job in January and ventured into the unknown but I've never been fulfilled☺️I love waking up next to my kids, cooking for them playing with them, building my coaching practice and investing in the development of others.i have also started a vegetable garden and looking forward to growing more produce and living my best quite slow life at 36..my bank account is on negative as we speak but I live with the grace for the day,I have chosen this path and I'm willing to walk it and embrace the duality of both the positive and the challenges
I’m so happy to hear that you’re happy! That time with your kiddos and building the life you want sounds priceless. Wishing you all the best on your journey. 🥰
How do you pay the bills? And how do you get food on the table? If you feel ok to share, it will help me as well.🙏
@@malinisarovar she won't share the whole truth. According to her story, she is spoil brat. Her parents worked like horses, while she was depressed from to be a lazy student. Later, lazy nonresponsable worker.

Is their any another solution, that humans won't lose jobs and also pollution would decrease. Humans have to take this step certainly instead of going on polluting the earth, making wildlife extinct and also mass extinctions of humans in future.
3. Electricity Pollution
We create electricity from many types of sources like coal, water, etc., but it creates pollution. If electricity created from windmill and solar energy then no pollution occurs in the creation process. But still to manufacture windmill and solar machines pollution would occur.
As I previously said that if we shut down many manufacturing companies which are producing things which are not needed for humans, then the world would not require so much electricity. If less electricity required, then less pollution generated.
4. Could We Stop Drinking Cow's and Buffalo's Milk
Whatever vitamins and nutrients we get from milk, if we can get it from other eatable things, then we can stop drinking cow's and buffalo's milk. As milk has to be packed in glass bottles and plastic packs and then transported to places. All of this can be stopped.
For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee. Instead of milk we must use lime with tea and coffee or just plain tea and coffee. A lime should be cut into a few pieces and cooked with tea and coffee or something else can be used instead of lime.
5. How Much Should Be The World's Population
Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
I chose to stay at home, since I gave birth to my son. I’m lucky, that my husband has a good job, so I don’t have to work.
Just enjoying every day outside and watching my kid grow and discover the world 😍 now pregnant with my second. Being a stay at home mom is just so fulfilling for me 😌
Exactly how i feel right now. I feel sad that my whole day just revolved around my work. Watching this gives me goosebumps as if the writer is reading my mind. But not all of us have the courage to leave our job especially if we have children or parents who rely on us.
That is so true, thank you for saying that. It's not always an option to leave a job. My parents didn't have that option when raising me. I hope that in whichever job situation you're in, you are able to find happiness or find balance that you need. Sometimes it's small changes that can really end up making a huge difference in life. Sending you my best wishes.
So true! However, I have seen people changing a lot under very "limiting" conditions. Maybe you find, year by year, some little things you can change? Maybe you can reduce working ours and find another small job, that is more fun and gives you energy so you stand the other one better by knowing, that change is evolving?
How To Live In Harmony With Nature And Reduce Pollution
1. Many Production Which We Do Not Need Actually For Human Beings Has To Be Stopped
We manufacture so many products and it is creating pollution. So if we minimise our products, pollution would be less.
We produce so many things which we do not need, like cold drinks, leather products, potato wafers, chips, fruit juices, chocolates, biscuits, pickles, ice creams, etc.
Cold drinks, fruit juices, pickles, ice creams, etc. Should be cooked at home only.
If we stopped producing this things which are not required for humans, so much pollution could be reduced.
If we colour the clothes pollution occurs. So if we don't colour our clothes, the pollution resulting from colouring the clothes can be stopped. Let everything remain in natural colour.
2. We Should Cook Foods In Its Natural Form
We can cook rice and wheat in our homes and eat it. Rice and Wheat is produced in farms. Then it is packed and transported to big warehouses, then wholesalers buy from them and supply to retail shops.
But if a manufacturing company makes bread from rice and wheat, then to make bread a manufacturing company has to be set up, machines and working staffs are needed. When a company is built many other things are also needed. Then at last a plastic pack is required to pack the breads.
So if we start cooking eatable things in its natural form then we do not need many companies like bread manufacturing company, tomato ketchup, noodles, fruit jam, pizza, burger, etc., the things required for the company and the plastic pack, paper box pack and glass bottles. If done like this, so many companies will not be required and hence less pollution for the world.
Also we could save our money like this. If you buy a packet of bread, it would cost you more money than if you cook wheat and rice in home.
Previously before industrial revolution, we didn't have technology, but our foods were rich with nutrients. Now we have technology, but technology is polluting our foods and our foods are not rich with nutrients, and because of that also we have health problems.
If this is done, then many jobs would be lost. For that many peoples should do farming and they should be given loans if they do not have enough money to start farming on their own.
Food, Medicines, Surgeries and Education's should be made free to the world till the world settles down with farming. After that food, medicines, surgeries and education's should be stopped free to the world.
Many people should study botany subject so that they have knowledge of plants and they should do farming.

You always have a choice, we have three kids and more than anything the kids need a good example and parents who are happy and there for them.
You seem like such a gentle and soft person, I can see how that old world you were in wouldn’t have suited you.
This video made me cry! My perspective on life has completely changed and I've been doing every little thing I can to transition to making this happen. The leap is definitely scary but worth it - thank you for this 🙏
This is a lovely video, very thoughtful. One thing to consider in the conversation is many of us who are older were raised at a time when it was a bold choice for a woman not to get married out of school but to go into the workforce for a career. So we were excited about that. And yes, many of us burned out. You will find the hybrid that works. Keep posting please.
Thanks for sharing your perspective! I think that’s really valuable, for many people a career can be a wonderful and empowering thing. It wasn’t the fit for me but I hope I find what does fit! Best wishes to you :)
This moved me. So inspiring, thank you. I've handed in my teacher notice in the UK. Whilst I love teaching and working with kids, the system isn't sustainable and work is fast paced leading me to be burnt out during 'free time' when I have to plan during my free time...
No idea where my life is heading, bit concerned about finances but I know that taking a leap of faith is important and it's lovely to hear this worked for you.
Really enjoyed this beautiful video thanks again 🙂
Simple life is frowned upon by this crazy society thats chasing its tail and not "living". Thank you for this beautiful video!
This is beautiful 💚 thank you!
I'm 22 and looking for contents on TH-cam about "things I wish I knew in my 20's" I don't find the genuine and beautiful message on the videos I watched, but yours different, thank you!
Wish me the best in my 20's! 💚😆
This ❤
Edit: you told the story of the fisherman, and now I'm on the verge of crying. I have read this story over and over again the past few weeks. This video feels like a beautiful synchronicity. Thank you.
What a coincidence! It is a really lovely story, one that will always stick with me. Thank you for the kindness and best wishes to you :)
Thank you for sharing this video. I quit my corporate job as a Benefits Manager to work with cats full time. It's one of the scariest and best decisions I ever made!
Resonated with so many things you said. So much self-reflection & maturity. It's impressive and surreal to see how you can have such a similar journey with someone on the other side of the world. Thanks so much for sharing! 💕
Oof, this is so painfully good. I remember having this mindset. Sacrificing my health & happiness, using the “it’s only temporary” line to justify why I should keep at it. Walking away from that life was the best thing I have ever done.
In my opinion, this is one of the BEST and MOST VALUABLE videos on TH-cam, PERIOD. :). Thank you...💛
Thank you for this. I’m currently in a corporate job, experiencing strikingly similar thoughts & emotions you shared. Hoping to find my own balance as I am a few months away from making a decision to stay or walk away. I sincerely appreciate you sharing this and your creativity.
Good for you my dear girl.You are on the right path for your life. My husband suffers from anxiety and depression. I have struggles too but I guess we help each other.We are retired now and and just recently realized what you just realized. Being happy and content is more important than having money.Thank you and bless you on your journey. Love your videos.
Ah the fisherman story gave me chills. I also now work as a barista part time! After working various office jobs. I also now have a daughter too. Subscribed :)
Thank you for sharing your experience. I recently made the sudden decision to step away from my IT career and pursue something different. I decided I didn’t want to hold on to my job because of all the comforts it provided outside of work. The pay was great along with benefits but I realized those were the only things I liked about my job. I want a simple life and just want to see what else is out there without being burdened by my day job. All the best to you.
This video is so touching on so many levels. Many of us are living someone else’s life and not a life of our own. Thank you for your candor and for sharing this beautifully narrated video with us all.
I appreciate that!! Best wishes to you :)
So glad I wandered upon this video. And how fortunate you've figured this out at such a young age. I pushed myself in my career into my 60s to pay off the mortgage and fund my retirement. I was miserable and exhausted for decades. I'm lucky it didn't kill me. But during the pandemic everything stopped for me and I finally figured out what was most important. I guess it's better late than never to be enlightened. Problem is I had worked so hard for so long that I didn't know what to do with myself. 3 years in I'm figuring it out. Congratulations for your "knowingness". It is a blessing. Kudos to you!
It is so hard to go from busy and working every day to sudden stillness-that can be such a hard transition and has been for me too, I can’t imagine after a full career how difficult it has been. But im so happy for you that you have been able find a lifestyle that makes you happier. What a brave choice!!! Thanks for your comment and sending you all the best, I hope you keep on finding what brings you joy 😊
This is resonating with my soul, so deeply. Thank you for making this video.
Great video, I relate to so much of this. After 17+ years in a high stress corporate career, I quit a few months ago to finally embrace the slower, simpler life.
Amazing. Best wishes to you in this new phase of life!
What do you do now sir for a living.. I'm 31 and already looking for ideas to retire and lead a simple and basic life
I know you will likely never read this comment but I hope that it helps just one person as your story has helped me.
I am a 60 year old woman who has had enough of working full time. I am about to throw in the towel as my work life has become soul destroying. It has filled me with dread, depression and anxiety.
I asked for a sign that I was about to do the right thing and your video came up on my TH-cam feed.
Thank you, young woman and thank you universe. Anna, greetings from Ireland x
(Incidentally I am taking a barista course this year and hope to work in a coffee shop)
Anna, I am so sorry that your work has been making you so unhappy… that is a very difficult place to be in. I’m so glad you are thinking of making a change! I wish you all the best on whatever your path forward looks like. Thank you for sharing your story 🥰 best wishes from the US!
@@thewonderingmind I am truly blessed, thank you, x
Me too. There are a lot of us.

The crafted cottage and hand painted sign are beautuful! You are very artistic!
Thank you so much!
I meant to add this to your more recent autumn videos with decorating. 😏
You narrated this beautifully and I can only hope that one day you will write a book. I fully agree with your sentiments, although my career was very different; 30 years as a naval surgeon in the Royal Navy. Now I live with my 4 daughters a much slower life that in many ways is reflective of yours, every day fulfilling with my twin sister. I wish you good health in your everyday life, and I think you should know your videos are helping many others, including my girls and I. All the very best, Wendi UK 🌻
Hi Wendi, thank you so much for your kind words. And wow, that’s incredible that you did 30 years in the Royal Navy, what a service to be proud of! I’m so happy you and your girls have been able to relate to my video. It’s so incredible to find out even across the world people are feeling the same things! I wish all the best in life to you and your girls. Take care 😊
Bravo young lady. I am so glad you realized this while you’re young. I’m 60 and retired because at age 40 I was able to become debt free and saved one of the two paychecks I received monthly. I have a nice little nest egg because the company I worked for gave me a nice severance package and I had money saved. I now do whatever I want and travel to see my grandchildren in California whenever I want. Best wishes to you and your bright future. Peace and blessing…..
Thanks so much for sharing your story ☺️ and WOW that’s amazing you were able to save so much and become debt free. Congrats to you for that achievement! Makes me so happy to hear how well you are doing. Definitely something I look up to!! Best wishes.
@@thewonderingmind ❤❤❤
Wow that story you mentioned about the mexican and the business man made me tear up because in the end, people work so hard to just end up retiring and relaxing later when instead we could be less consuming of all things around us and simply enjoy the money primarily for food, housing and our hobbies... Thank you for this!
I'm barely 5 minutes in and am already happy to have found you and your channel. I quit my job just a few weeks ago and am starting a similar journey of self love, discovery and healing. As foreign as it feels, I'm ready for the next chapter. Looking forward to watching you bloom here on your beautiful channel while you navigate your latest chapter. Love and Light. ~Stina
Hi Stina, thanks for your kind words. I'm excited for you and your next steps! Sounds like your starting an amazing journey. Best wishes to you ❤️
Thanks for share your thoughts and this beautiful atmosphere of peace, calm and slow living.
Beautiful video! Congratulations for your decision to quit your corporate job. I recently resigned from a corporate job with a main cruise line. Didn’t even give them two weeks notice as they did not deserve it. My former female boss is a narcissist ego-centric individual who did not appreciate my work and contributions. I felt exploited and simply got tired of putting up with her BS. Corporate America is no longer what it used to be unfortunately. Best decision of my life! Not selling my peace and well-being to the devil for money or any job!
What a beautiful video! Praying that you find peace and enjoyment on this new path.
I'm only 24, working a high-stress job, craving for a more simpler job with minimal stress so I can channel my attention outside of work more. Instead I get bombarded with the idea that we should be climbing the corporate ladder all the time, going for more of a challenge. I hate it and I'd rather have a simpler life where I didn't basically bring my work home with me and I can live outside of work without worry. Life is not about career and I'm glad I'm realising this as early as 24. Don't be jobless but don't allow it to compromise your values, time and peace of mind.
Watching this after just quitting my digital design job that’s brought me financial rewards. It was a decision I know when l look back later in life as the right decision. At 45 years old being in the industry working non stop for the last 23 years, it slowly killed me inside...
Along the way, l missed doing the things and being around people that matter. I forgot to be a son, brother and uncle to my family and even though I have financial security rather than pressuring myself to want to accrue more, l finally decided to take back control.
I made the decision 5 days ago to quit.
To my dear mum whom we lost to cancer 4 years ago, l’m still coming to terms with the loss. I want to make sure I make use of the time that l still have on this earth.
Wow, thank you so much for your vulnerability and sharing your story. I truly wish the best for you in your future and hope you find a balance that feels right for you in your life. Take care and happy exploring ☺️
Best of luck!!
This story is very familiar, I'm at a job where I gave my body and sanity for nothing, I've wasted 7 years in this job and I'm ready to quit, get a part time, and work in my dream of being an artist. I'm still in the crossroad and full of fear and I'm 41 years old, but I have this pull to do more than be a cog, a pull to create and explore.
Cada vez que tengo dudas del camino que tomé, este video me vuelve a inspirar, es así cuando el camino es desconocido los miedos surgen cada día ❣️
Your video is so INSPIRING to me! This is exactly what I cherish. It brought tears to me knowing spirit was talking to me through your message. Sending Love and Light from Sacramento,California ❣
This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my TH-cam channel 5 months ago about self development. Now I have 324 subs and > 100 hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I couldn’t have learned without getting started in the 1st place.
This is so crazy because lately I been feeling exactly what you described in this video and I just opened my YT and this was recommended. It makes me emotional because I imagine and yearn to have a self fulfilling experience like this and to get far away from society. Working has taken away a lot from me and employers are basically telling us to sacrifice our personal time. On top of that I suffer with social anxiety, high functioning anxiety and depression. This year has been a lot better mentally. I have been meditating, connecting with nature and practicing to instill positive thoughts in my mind. The more I do this is the more I realized how beautiful the world is without these societal rules. This gives me hope. Thank you for sharing! Truly appreciate it.😊
I love hearing how meditation and positive thoughts have been helping you mentally!! That's amazing. I'm trying to keep it up because it helps me so much too. Wishing you all the best in the future :)
@@thewonderingmind Thank you😊
Left my job in a hospital four years ago. Never looked back. I am single, my kids are grown . It was a decision I had to make to love myself more and find a beautiful Life. Working in a job I am happy in now, a lot less cash, a lot less stress! I am more balanced and centered and truly enjoy my Life now!
You are a gentle, empathetic person....that is why you reflect on why and where of your journey. God has gifted you with self-awareness and intuition. Be careful of narcissistic people...they are on the increase these days. Finding a balance between work and personal life early on...is good. Work can and is important and fulfilling but it can consume us! Many times life and circumstances dictate priorities. Sometimes we want everything (& not everyone can juggle many roles without paying a heavy price) and cannot manage it all at once, and it affects health. Knowing our strengths and limitations helps to set boundaries with ourselves. Praying for God's guidance is of paramount importance.
I am constantly told to "be more ambitious" or "how can you not be ambitious"....but I am. My goal is to be happy by myself without the unnecessary social noise and no matter what life throws at me I hope to stay myself and never vindictive or manipulative.
Preach! This is so beautiful and TRUE. This is the new wave of life. It’s time for human kind to prioritize joy over all else ♥️♥️♥️

For infants whose mother's have died or mother's who cannot breast feed their infants, only for them cow's and buffalo's milk should be given. We use milk in tea and coffee.

Every place should have a single house. No buildings, everything ground floor. If we do this and the whole lands of our planet earth would be occupied one day with homes, farms, forests, schools, hospitals, etc., then we would come to know how much our planet earth can have maximum population.
Once the population is determined, then we have to maintain that population. For example if our earth can have a population of 10 billion peoples, then when the population reaches 10 billion, then everyone should have only one child till the population reaches 9 billion peoples. As if we have only one child then the population decreases. When population is 9 billion peoples, then everyone should have 2 children's till the population reaches 10 billion peoples. After that again we should have only one child. In this way population can be maintained.
I spent the last 23 years in a stressful and toxic corporate office working 45-50 hours a week. I now work pt at an elementary school cafeteria, all the stress is gone and I have summers off. However, it's very hard to leave the money and benefits of a career no matter how miserable you become.
Thank you so much for this. You've given a voice to something that's in many of our hearts that we could not fully describe. Thanks again and God bless you
Woaaah I just watched your vlog. I hope you upload more. I love your content. I can watch and listen to it multiple times. 💕
I am watching this on a day that I quit my job. An 8 hour shift of standing on my feet as a cashier for 6 days a week. My off day I would spend sleeping. I don't drive so I spend alot of hours in buses..
However, my college is marine engineering so I can either work these cashier/waiter jobs as they are the only jobs in my small tourist city or go to a ship.
I feel so lost and alone and scared for my future.
I feel you 🌌 same but still at that not fulfilling job trying to find a way to escape and figuring out how to be able to provide for myself without coporate job being in the center of my life. Money and social's expactations are huge blockers I need to admit. But hope you will find your way and I will find mine. 💕

Oh my god .. this is the mst wholesome video on this topic where there are so many contents. I can see you have come to a conclusion after long long reflections and out your every knowledge and learning into this video. This is truly a blessing to every wonderer who is trapped in a corporate world. P.s. your voice is so calming❤
I resonated so much with this. It relates so much to what I am going through right now with my career. Your voice is so soothing and therapeutic!
I've searched so many for a video like this, and thank you .. i am so glad i've stopped by your channel. i needed this. i am 47 and have been with my corporate life for 26 years. i am getting miserable each day which eventually made me physically sick for the first time in all my years working and knew it's time as this is not worth sacrificing.., i still have fears into the unknown once i decided to leave... your video is an eyeopener, i will work myself one day at a time until i have the courage to take that huge leap of faith...and follow my heart in pursuit of happiness... to be continued....
Thank you so much for sharing your story. I am so happy you are trusting yourself and doing what you need. I wish you all the best on your path to finding a work/life balance that feels right for you. It’s such a brave thing to make a choice for a healthier future for yourself ♥️
Omg you don't understand how much I needed to hear this.....your story is so close to my own. Thank you for this share
Beautiful thank you for sharing from your heart. All the best on your path. Love Philippa ps all the best with everything.
Thank You for being brave enough to make the change and also speak about it. I did the same thing and I know how society can drive you to deep depression with their judgments and criticism. I know deep inside I made the right choice, but everyone around me just thinks I am lazy. I left health care and now becoming a yoga instructor which has been my dream forever. My husband supports me, but even my parents keep telling me I made a huge mistake. I wish people would leave me alone. Even if I made a mistake, it's my mistake, isn't it? I hope I have the strenght to continue to live my dream and not crush under such heavy expectations.. thank you for making this video, it has truly lifted my spirits. It's nice to know I'm not alone, it gives me strenght to continue and not give up.
Thank you for this amazing amazing video. I’ve been in accounting for almost 4 years. I simply cannot endure it anymore. Tomorrow I will quit my job.
in 20 mins u healed a part of me that u didn’t break. I can’t thank u enough for this video ❤❤❤, each and every word of your video is resonating with what I feel currently. Can I send you a 1000000000 likes? your story telling had so much depth that I had to pause and rewatch parts. Sending you lots of loveeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. 😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘
Its no accident that I listened to this and didn’t just randomly appeared on my feed. Thank you so much for posting this and sharing how you took that courage to leave corporate career to pursue your passion. Its speaks to me and its so beautiful I can totally understand and relate with you. I had also left my job last year with no concrete plans and with no much savings. I’ve been working hard for several years but I don’t feel the happiness and contentment. It just came to a point that I just want to listen to myself and don’t mind other people’s opinions. Glad I took that leap of faith, no regrets. I strongly followed and listened to my intuition then unexpectedly more beautiful and unexpected moments begin unfolding 💖
I’m so glad you took that leap of faith and have been happier! It is so scary, but I think when we listen to our intuition it always leads us where we need to go! It’s always so nice to know that there are others out there feeling the same ☺️ so happy for you and wishing you the best :)
I so wish I had taken time off from work and traveled in a van. I am 61 now. I am so ready to slow down and do more things I enjoy. I don't want to die in front of my computer!
Lovely story. Thats how i found myself here. I was working so hard to reach this place, but just decided its not worth it. Live simply and focus on my wants.
Wow, thank you so much for sharing! This story deeply resonates with me and how I’ve shared many of the same perspectives, challenges, n choices as U have. I’m in my 3rd yr of learning to enjoy the unfolding of it all. Thank you ❤️
Do what makes you feel comfortable and happy. Walk away from what doesn't give you happiness and joy. Finding a job that makes you happy it won't even seem like work. Dream manifest your own life allowing yourself to take time for self relaxation and control of your mind soul and body. Time is precious use it well
This is lovely, thanks for sharing. You are exactly where you are meant to be right now. Trust and enjoy the path you're on.
I’m so glad I came across this video today. So much came up for me while watching this. So much perspective, thank you. ❤
