Actually Ellie that's exactly how I felt when I walked out on my career in 2003I then set about trying to find ways in which I didn't have to work. I was pretty successful at "not working" too. The hardest part about it was letting go of my own judgements about a non-working life. I was socially conditioned pretty good so it took a huge emotional toll on me. I became severely depressed and dissatisfied with life in the beginning because my sense of self was tied up in work. If yours isn't then you're in for a much better ride.

So after 4 years of this lifestyle I've made a great transformation. Now that I've rested and recovered emotionally and gotten rid of my social conditioning I've made a wonderful discovery.

When you are no longer driven by the need to work you naturally start dreaming of doing things which are of far more benefit to the world at large. I'm not talking about world peace or environmental causes (although these may be your passion) I'm talking about your soul catching on fire and you start being the huge being that you are. Sitting on the beach all day will satisfy your soul for about a week or two. After that you start getting flooded with ideas for a better life and the plans to make them happen. Better than that you can't stop yourself from thinking about these amazing things that you feel passionate about and the creation process is set in motion.

So if you hate working and if you have the means or opportunity to give up working for a while I recommend it. If your sense of self is not wrapped up in the security blanket of a job then this process will happen very quickly and painlessly for you. Then you can get on with doing what you naturally want to do, whatever that is.
