Friday Finds - Don't Quit Your Day Job Or Maybe You Should

Work is starting to stress me out a lot again. Yes, again. I keep reminding myself...


...since I know that the economy is still hurting so many. But I can't help thinking...


I am an artist not a desk slave. And I really want to tell the evil boss lady...

I was 'involuntarily liberated' from my day job the day after last Thanksgiving. I took it as a huge blessing--the place was not a healthy work environment at all (I'm being *very* nice :) ). I thought I would be scared and depressed being around the holidays and all, but I had fortunately built up a $ cushion and I've been able to concentrate on what I love full-time. That really is priceless.

I was a bit chicken to take the leap myself, but I welcome the kick in the ass from the Universe. I would encourage anyone who has a passion for something to at least give it a try and go balls out. I can't even begin to explain the mental and physical drain the day job took on me. I didn't even fully realize until I was out of there. I used to be sick all the time, but I have been so healthy with lots of energy since...

I recently downloaded the audiobook "No Excuses!" by Wayne Dyer and it's been really great to get me focused and get my head right. I highly recommend it!

Erin, thank you so much for commenting! I am so glad to hear your happy and successful story!! I've wondered if being laid off would be a blessing in disguise, too, but the thought of it also terrifies me (I have no idea how we would pay our bills). I totally hear ya about the drain from the day job!! I'm usually exhausted by the time I get home and I partially blame my lack of get up and go for other stuff on that. I think I need to check out that audiobook... Thanks again, chica!
