If someone tried to convince me that my trousers were nasty at school, ten kids insulting me wouldn't remotely convince me that they were right. But people who really care about me manage to get me down. I feel I am betraying them if I don't manage to make ends meet. It's because I care for them. Maybe I'm focusing my love for them in the wrong way. And I feel also guilty for my boss, he's been training me for a time and if I leave all that time will be wasted.
I wrote that last "it's not that bad sentence" out of guilt, I think. I mean, saying "I'm quitting my job because law of attraction wants me to" isn't something that feels right. Or won't sound right if you try to explain it. |
Natsu, I can relate to the whole "peer pressure" from family. It's crazy, as soon as you're not 'working' they jump down your throat. I know it's just them caring for your own wellbeing, but it's rooted in fear.
I take a slightly different perspective from Steve on making the transition to your dream job/doing what you love. I wrote an article about it today. You might find it interesting:
