Manifesto
The Mission Statement for Leave The Office
It is quite simple really, because I have set out a core reason and purpose for every project I start. The purpose for everything I do is to inspire people to do what I believe is the most important thing in life: To follow their dreams, to live life with the intention of creating it in a way that you desire as opposed to settling and coping with what appears to be the hand you have been dealt. This latter belief is one which I no longer hold and I feel compelled to share what I have learned about how to best live life because I would like to see people experiencing the feelings that I have about their day to day lives.
It Can’t Get Any Simpler
What you do with your life is going to determine how you feel about your life. That is obvious isn’t it? So why do so many people do a job they don’t want and live their whole lives wishing they could do or be something completely different? That just means they are not actually living their life, just enduring it and it is mainly because they do not realize that there is actually a way out of that. Life does not work how most people believe it does and even though their current perception of how things are is undesirable to them, they will still fight to keep that belief because they have been programmed that way. We all have. It’s like being in a prison that you don’t know you are in and on the other side of the bars is freedom, but because you are unaware that jail is where you are already, you see the other side as a jail of sorts: dangerous and out of your control.
I want to help those who have that inquisitive streak and who want to make their lives better, whether their lives are currently enjoyable or not. It is behind everything I do. I love doing what I do every day. I never have "Monday Morning Blues" and my whole life feels like a vacation, even though I am really busy. I play every day of my life and I want to share with you how that feels by inspiring you to try it on for size, so choose what it is you really love doing with your life and take steps towards doing it, for real, just like I did and if you actually love what you are doing and even if that happens to be in an office then use that inspiration to make it even better by improving all areas of your life.
So whether you move anywhere or stay where you are. In spirit I encourage you to Leave The Office!
At Your Service.
