– Plato
Hate your job? Fed up with your boss or coworkers? You do have a choice: maybe the universe is telling you that it’s time to go into business for yourself, to shift from ‘having a job’ to using your unique gifts and talents to serve others and make the world a better place. As for how you overcome your attachment to a predictable income and benefits in order to go for your dreams, perhaps the first step is redefining ‘risk.’ To me, it is far riskier to waste our lives doing something we don’t love, agree with or believe in hour after hour and day after day than to pursue our passions and do what feels really exciting and important. If you’ve been unhappy with your working life for a long time, maybe your frustration and dissatisfaction are your soul loudly chirping like a mama bird, trying to kick you out of that safe-feeling nest so you can experience the freedom and exhilaration of learning how to fly.
