Yoda led me to the right state of mind this weekend. I've been troubled by cold feet after leaving what we like to believe is the safe corporate world. Somewhere along the line I think I got Corporiz'd. Everything got too mundaine and forseeable. I was urged to 'hang in there'. And as much as I hate to say it, I started to enjoy the security and the benefits. So I tried to 'do the time', but it didn't feel right.
The flip side is that once you leave the circle of trust the pay checks stops coming in. Well, to be honest I was hoping that the administrative system was as inferior as some of the leadership but I was wrong. No more checks.
So after some unsleepable nights and sweaty awakenings I decided to write a plan and to start executing it. I also decided to enjoy each day as much as I can and stop looking so far into the future. The time of leisure shouldn't be troubled by wordly things, it should be a time of relaxation, exploration and mindful peace.
Once that realization was clear and confirmed I started to watch 'A New Hope' and eventhough I've seen it several times over the years I was hypnotized and spellbound - once again - by the brilliant story, the fantastic characters and the amazing dialogs.
'Many of the truths that we cling to depend on our point of view.'
