Yes, that may sound like the stupidest thing you've ever heard. I am by no means financially stable, not a crypto-millionaire. I can afford to may for the rent in the room that I live in, for three more weeks and then, we shall see.
However, I am not scared. You see, I came to a crossroads today. A mental and spiritual crossroads. It happened when my boss told me for the second time today that I needed to get off my cell-phone while I am on the grocery-store floor. And it just hit me. WHY AM I LETTING ANOTHER MAN DICTATE WHEN I CAN AND CANNOT BE ON MY OWN CELLPHONE? Does that make me self-entitled or a "Karen", because I don't want to be told what to do in a job that I chose to take? No! You know what that is? That's me starting to believe in myself. That's me coming to the point where I am tired of being pushed around by corporate America, tired of letting the concept of a 9-5 keep me stuck for the rest of my life. I am worth and capable of so much MORE than what I have been living.
You hear about stories like this sometimes. People that got so sick of the same old stuff, and they come to a precipice. A moment in time where they realize they're not going the right direction. Some people that come to this point will start making firm but gradual changes to their lifestyle in order to start realizing their newfound dreams. But some of us are much more ambitious and reckless. And to me, reckless isn't always a bad thing.
I have $5000 in two different investments. One is $3500 in Vechain, which is going to do major things one day. The other is $1500 in bitcoin, stored in a Mirror Trading International account where it appreciates and compounds by an average of .5% daily. And I have enough money to feed myself and pay rent for three weeks.
That's it. That's all I have. I don't have family I can go stay with if I don't get myself situated soon enough. I don't have credit that I can leverage to get a loan. And I DAMN sure am not touching my investments.
But you know what I don't have thats more important than any of those things? I don't have my FREEDOM. And I'm sick of it. I am so sick of it that I could not stand slaving away to make someone else's dreams come true for another moment, while I scrape by on $12 an hour and stay stuck hoping and praying that my luck will change.
My decision today was the culmination of every dream I have ever had, every motivational speech I've ever listened to, every person that ever tried to make me believe in myself when I just didn't know how.
The moment I quit my job today was the moment when I decided to start listening to those people, before its too late. Before I am suddenly in my fifties and have every regret in the book that so many will live with because they never took risks and only lived out a life that society subconsciously programmed them to live.
I want more for myself. And I am going to have it. One way or a-fucking-nother.
I hope you guys do the same, in whatever way is appropriate for you when the time comes.
