When is it the right time to break away from the "hum-drum" and embark on the new lifestyle that you truly desire?

Do you bide your time, building in enough security measures to minimise the chance of future failure or do you take the leap and trust that you will be taken care of in life? This is an interesting subject because I believe nearly all people know that the latter is the truly empowering option, but the reality of their fears of failure still stop them from believing, or having the faith in that process.

I am experiencing the very same myself. I know deep-down that if I follow my heart then I will be taken care of and I will find my ultimate goal, even if that ends up being a life vastly different from what I initially wanted.

The answer, as far as I can see it is still on this subject of clarity. Clarity is more important than anything. If you are absolutely, without a shadow of a doubt clear about what you desire to acheive, right down to the details and the emotions that you feel once you achive it then I imagine leaving your job to pursue it is a very easy decision to make, because there is no room for doubt to set in. Plans can change of course and things can go wrong, but if your focus is clear then you never lose sight and you never change direction in a panic at the wrong moment.

The clarity and thus the focus is what strengthens your awareness of what happens around you and the more aware you are of what is happening will provide you with the ability to notice those things that will bring you the succcess you desire. This is also the case if you find along the way something else that becomes your life’s goal. It is the commitment to actually walking the path that will give you the visibility of every opportunity along that path, which also brings me onto the word "Commitment". What is that? Many people believe that commitment means spending the majority of you time "doing" in order to honour the cause, but it is the very commitment to doing stuff and trying to figure out how it is to be achieved that stops the whole process being a creative one, instead becoming very monotonous, uninspiring and unfulfilling. How many people do you know spend hours everyday sending emails and leaving voicemails and who get very disheartened because nobody replies to their messages, so commitment is a state of mind, not a list of do’s and don’ts. Commitment is being true to your clarity of vision and not being veered off the path by doubt, fear or indecision.

The process of clarifying my vision is an ongoing one and it has got to the point where my belief is growing at an exponential rate. I am really excited about this. It will be time to say "Goodbye" to the office before too long!
