This post is an explanation of the following post.
The next post will be a statement of intent. I will published it here to simply make public my intention, so as to bring some accountability to myself.
By stating it to the world, well anyone who passes by this blog, I feel more of a responsibility to carry it through. Also there is a tendancy sometimes to forget things. A good idea that gets forgotten that may have been "The" big idea or sometihng that you know is good for you, but somehow just gets lost in all the clutter that is your everyday life. Most often these things that get forgotten or left are fundamental to changing and I’ll be bold enough to suggest for the better or even in the very direction that you long for. Yes we ourselves are responsible for lost opportunities, let downs and all the other disappointments we may experience, but instead of using them as a sign of our less than perfect judgement or conduct and learning the lesson they contain we find an outside entity to blame. Either a person, a thing or a situation. I am just as guilty of that as anyone else, so that is why Leave The Office will include, as and when one arises an intention of mine, a promise if you like to honour myself and my duty as a person who has dreams of inspiring others as I have been inspired myself. If the intention is not realised then I won’t beat myself, or anyone else up about it, but I will accept the lessons the experience or failure teaches me about myself.
I invite readers to state their intentions, however big or small (they all count) in the comments of each INTENTION post. I’ll make this a feature of this blog. The good thing is that if I have nothing else to write I can make a statement of intent and be accountable for it.
I would also like to say thanks to a reader of this blog, who just when it looks like nobody is reading, he posts a comment, which often puts me back on track.
Thank you Digital Nomad.

Never stop dreaming. Do one or two small things each day in the journey to your goal.
It is the journey and not the arrival (IMHO). Don’t just leave the office. Take it with you.
Excellent point Mr. Nomad!
After all running away from the office is like trying to run away from something inside yourself. Embrace all that you are and all that you can be and the office will no longer look like such a demon, especially when it is whatever you choose it to be on any given day.
Thanks man!
