Earlier this month, I published Part 1 of a collection of 8 epic success stories about awesome individuals who decided that they wanted something different. Things were good for most of them, but something wasn't quite right. They felt something missing and took a leap of faith that paid off.
The point to all of this is a reminder that if you want to have a different life than you have, the power is yours (name that reference!). Seriously, you can make a change and the world won't punish you for it. Your family might freak out, or your friends might not understand - that's OK. If there's something about your life you want to change than you have the ability and the responsibility to change it. Shape your life until it looks the way you want it to, and to hell with anyone who tells you otherwise.
As another reminder, here are some things that everyone in this post has in common:
- They were following a fairly typical path through life
- They decided that they wanted a different situation
- They took bold action towards changing their situation
- None of them suffered any major negative or irreversible consequences
- All of them increased their happiness and fulfillment
