Hi Manifesto,

Wow! this rings so true. I had the same experience many times until I finally had to get to the root of why I couldn’t eject myself from a job I hated. Like others who responded to it, it can feel daunting.

I finally figured out that having my livelihood bound to a single source of income and at the discretion of someone I barely knew outside of work was frankly… well, insane. When I came to understand that fully, and took real steps to change I found some real peace. It was only then that I was able to find a life full of choice, freedom and a ton of travel. I make more money than I ever have and I know that who I am and what I do for a living brings true value to my life, the lives of my family and to other people who want the same thing.

I found a way to have several incomes that played to my strengths and to the way I wanted to live my life. Now should one of those things change, I never need to fear that I’ll be left out in the cold because I still have the other means of generating a paycheck. So maybe my advice to you, if you haven’t already done so is find several things to do rather than one. I for example freelance doing some video work. I sell stock video footage and still photos online and I teach other people how to how to do those things too. So having three incomes puts me in a place of real freedom without the pressure of relying on a single job.

I hope that helps and I would love to hear where you are now. The world needs your authentic and true voice I hope we get to hear more! from you.

Much peace!
