Listener shout out of the week!
Listened to Breaking Free of the Golden Handcuffs. Very powerful! I too remained in a position far longer than I should have: it was not a high powered position but it was well paying. However, omg, it was soul sucking and excruciatingly boring and monotonous. It allowed me a lot of things I would not have had if I worked in an office, gave me the opportunity to travel, some nice jewelry 😉 It didn’t give satisfaction, though. Eventually I left, pursuing university education. That was considerably better but proved not to be exactly what was in my heart: there was always the desire for art in some form or other. Listening to the experts I sought more sensible solutions. Did this provide either security or financial rewards, no, not at all. Had I listened to what I always knew, go with my gut/intuition, I could have saved years of frustration. Now I am making some real progress in developing my art. It really is not too late :).
