Many people ask me how I dare to plan to quit my job and leave on a travel around part of the world, as I have no back-up plan for afterwards. I will come back with very little money left, without a job, hopefully still having an apartment (but who knows), with a CV that some employers might find more interesting, but many will probably find less interesting.
So how do I dare give up my good job where I have a good salary, good colleagues, an ok boss, and where I can most probably feel safe for years to come?
Well, I found this quote today from Mark Twain, which explains quite well how I think about life - that life is for living now rather than regretting later. I of course hope that I will not regret my choice later. But I am sure that I would regret not living my dream! So I am going to try to live it. I am done working my life away in an office. I am ready to live!
"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do than by the ones you did. So throw off the bowlines, Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream."
