Upward and Onward

    After a conversation with a friend it occurred to me that most of the people that I know have relocated, quit jobs/ gotten shit-canned (from places that were stunting or sucking the life out of them anyway), or gone back to school in efforts to reach their personal legend (an ALCHEMIST reference. Read the book and increase the quality of your life). These kind of life changes generally mean that you have to start over. "STARTING OVER" is French for "being broke and nowhere near as stable as you'd like" This can be frustrating and liberating as hell all at the same time.
   Thanks to the quarter life crisis we all had a couple years ago ( where we woke up one day and asked the universe WHAT THE FUCK AM I DOING WITH MY LIFE?!), we are all pretty clear on what we really want to be when grow up/turn 30. This is great right?  Now we are on the road to doing the shit and that's where  things get a little tricky. We aren't 18 anymore and have had life kick our ass a time or two. This is to say, we aren't so sprightly, optimistic, or energetic. We have learned to freak out, obsess about money, and be what the world refers to a realistic.  This is bullshit! Nobody ever got to be extraordinary, game changing,or iconic by being realistic. If being broke and unstable for the short term means being happy beyond measure in the long haul, suck it up and stick it out. Hustle hard until you get to where you are going. Although it is scary it is high time to start living the life that you were created to live.
