Choosing to Leave My 9 to 5 Job and Pursue a Better Life

It’s been 43 days since I quit my 9 to 5 job and there’s no going back. My life has been altered since that moment. Since the moment I decided I wanted better for myself. Since I decided I won’t accept a mediocre life. They tell you to just get a safe job, who cares if you don’t really like it, that’s normal. At least it gives you income. This wasn’t enough for me. I pictured a life where I’m excited to get up and do what I love every single day. I don’t want to waste my days away hating my life, or settling for just tolerable. There are people out there living amazing incredible lives out there, so why can’t I? Sure, I had a steady income from the job, but I still wasn’t happy. I was anxious. Everything in my body was telling me no, don’t stay here, there is more for you elsewhere. See when you work for hourly pay, you can only make so much money. For example, if you are getting paid $25 an hour and you work 40 hours, you can only make $960.00 a week tops and that’s not including the taxes that get taken out of it. My rent alone is $1,100.00 so I would have to work more than 1 week just to pay my rent. Sure, I could work more than 40 hours but why would I want to give more of my time away. I want more freedom. Freedom to choose what I do with my time. If I want to do certain errands during the week or go on vacation somewhere. I didn’t want to have to ask permission like a little kid to go somewhere. I felt trapped at my job like a bird in a cage, not being able to leave from this time to this time. If I want time off to go somewhere I should have the ability to do so. To me the mindset of trading time for money is limited thinking. I wanted passive income. Income that comes to me while I am sleeping. Income where I don’t have to trade 1 hour of my time for $25.00…a loaf of bread almost costs $25 now a days. Ok I’m exaggerating a little bit, but you get what I mean. $25.00 does not go very far in today’s economy. To expand your mind a little bit there are people and companies making THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS PER DAY. Shit, there are companies making MILLIONS PER DAY. People are making $100,000k per month (100,000/30=3,333 per day) and you’re telling me I have to settle for $25 an hour…I. don’t. think. so. The ability to make unlimited amounts of money per day is possible. You just have to believe in it first. If you don’t believe it is possible then of course it’s never going to happen for you. Why don’t you think it could happen for you? Because you aren’t smart enough? Because you’re not talented enough? Because you’re not good enough? These are all limiting beliefs holding you back in life. The ONLY difference between you and the person making millions per day is MINDSET. They have the belief that they could do it. Even if it started small at some point for them, they had some belief that they could do it. All you need to do is remove these limiting beliefs holding you back and exchange them for more empowering beliefs. It might sound cheesy, but it is the secret sauce. I’m not here to convince you. If you don’t want it fine, continue to live your mediocre life that you hate. But if you want more happiness and abundance in your life, like me, then changing your mindset is where it begins. This doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy, but I promise it will be worth it.
