Rhino1 Posted August 14, 2014 Report Share Posted August 14, 2014 (edited) Every now and then doubt kicks in - am I insane to just pull out of a good job, leave family behind, liquidate my retirement savings (which carries nasty tax penalties) and then go unemployed to a new country? But then once in a while I get inspirational quotes that is so relevant to my situation that I cannot just write them off as coincidence. I thought I'd share some of these quotes and words of wisdom so maybe you can make sense of this journey:"Growth is painfull, change is painfull. But nothing is as painfull as staying stuck where you dont belong""And suddenly you know...It's time to start something new and trust the magic of beginnings""Sometimes the wrong choices bring us to the right places""Have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become""Respect yourself enough to walk away from anything that no longer serves you, grows you or makes you happy""What if I fall?" ...."Oh my darling, what if you fly?""We must be willing to get rid of the life that we've planned so as to have the life that is waiting for us""The secret to change is to focuss all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new""You belong somewhere you feel free""Live, travel, adventure, bless and dont be sorry""If you ever find yourself in the wrong story, leave""The most dangerous risk of all - the risk of spending your life not doing what you want on the bet you can buy yourself the freedom to do it later""Decide that you want it more than you are afraid of it""If we were meant to stay in one place we'd have roots instead of feet"Feel free to share your own words of wisdom...

monsta Posted August 15, 2014 Report Share Posted August 15, 2014 Plus my husband is close to 60 and starting a whole new life. And yet, I have a good feeling about it all. I can't explain it.You really never know what could happen... you might buy a house just before it becomes rezoned..http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2724428/Eight-homes-street-sell-total-30-million-THREE-TIMES-MORE-valued-two-years-ago.htmlThere is such a shortage of infrastructure in Sydney.. that once a council says they agree to build more roads, sewage, etc. to support a new development... well builders jump in (at almost any price). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
