Journey to freedom: From Daily grind to Life on the road
In the pursuit of financial freedom and perceived success, I've encountered a tumultuous yet transformative journey over the past few years. Life’s tumultuous waves pushed me to the edge, and it was time to stop swimming against the current. Join me on this extraordinary adventure as I break free from the daily grind, embracing the open roads with my babies. In this blog post I’ll share the essence of our Journey as we leave behind the hustle culture for a life less ordinary.
My misstep was investing in a dream that I never truly believed in from the beginning. I erroneously assumed that adhering to society’s prescribed path – earning a degree, securing a job, working diligently, saving, and investing – would be the key to happiness. However, I found myself feeling drained, despondent, and utterly lost as my career began to unravel, both professionally and physically.
As I faced the unraveling of my carefully planned life, I felt time slipping away, and my initial goal of achieving financial freedom for retirement and travel seemed increasingly distant. It was a moment of reckoning when financial hardship led me to the realization that it cost me more to sustain my current lifestyle than it would to explore the world.
This epiphany prompted a profound shift in perspective. I came to the stark realization that I had been consciously choosing a life that didn’t align with my true desires. I had unknowingly bound myself with self-imposed limitations and fears. This choice forced me to forfeit the most precious asset we possess: time. In a resolute stand against squandering more of it, I decided to break free from the constraints of beliefs, fears, and limitations that had held me back.
The catalyst for this change was a deep reflection on the value of time and the sacrifices made for a life that didn’t bring fulfillment. No amount of money could compensate for the lost moments, especially with my family, and most notably, my son, who had been physically distant from me for nine years. My heart's yearning persisted despite my mind's resistance, compelling me to make a courageous decision.
My soul yearned to travel, experience the world, and connect with diverse cultures. The realization came late, but its a testament that you’re always where you need to be, receiving information when you need it. This astonishing idea came to me while noting that one of our favorite past times as a family was seeing all the beautiful places on our timelines. Wondering what we were doing on tiny Long Island when there was a whole world to explore.
In the context of the ongoing global transformation, we are all faced with a critical choice between love and fear, between embracing deep, unconditional self-love and succumbing to societal expectations. In this crucial moment, I wholeheartedly choose love, peace, freedom, and abundance. It's a choice that extends beyond my personal journey and invites reflection from others.
