What to do if you get fired
For nearly 30 years, I’ve lived with a pervasive fear of failure. I’ve what-ifed my way through nearly every decision. I’ve weighed pros and cons, risks versus rewards, and made what I felt were logical choices with somewhat predictable outcomes.
Then I got utterly bored with myself, with my guarded heart, with my doubt and worry. Who lives like that? No one who truly lives or knows the definition of living. I became so uninspired by the work I was doing, sick of making practical choice after practical choice that I finally decided to release my need for steady income and predictability and pursue what excited me instead.
What followed was almost six years of bliss teaching yoga, writing, learning to live on less, but somehow feeling like I had so much more. I finally felt I was playing to my strengths and was able to give and even receive more through this awe-inspiring path.
