I absolutely love that!!!
For most people, security is material possessions - a house, a car, etc. but try thinking of security this way and this was a profound shift for me when I finally got it...
Security is knowing that if all of your possessions were taken away, all your money was taken away, all your credit cards were taken away, and you were driven out to a desolate place in which you were unfamiliar and left with nothing but the clothes on your back - that you would find a way to get back everything you had and more because of the complete belief and faith in yourself to accomplish whatever it is that you set out to do.
How's that for security?!
As for quitting your job, you need to do whatever feels right for you. If you are in such a space that you absolutely unemployable anymore than perhaps you need to quit sooner rather than later. However, if you are OK with keeping the job while you build up income in your self employment ventures, then that is certainly what you need to do.
The point is, your situation is unique and only you can answer the question of when and how to quit your job. Take some time to really get clear on that - journal about it, write down the pros and cons of each possibilty and the answer will come to you.
Hope this helps!
