walking away

[Cante]

Hello
I am going through some trying times in my life again. I am sure some of you are too.
With everything happening so fast I want to focus on me right now. Thus, I want to leave certain jobs behind. I have already resigned one position and am considering resigning another. Both of these have to do with work in the community. Both jobs entail working with people who are not at the same place on the path as I am and it is very stressful/frustrating to have to deal with them at meetings every month.
A friend told me today that being involved with these activities was a "waste of my consciousness" which put it all into perfect perspective for me.
I guess I am just wanting some support and encouragement here because the people I am leaving behind are kind of upset over my choices as I was a leader in the position I have already resigned from and also am a leader in this other job I want to quit. Of course I am giving up money in resigning but I feel like I need to put me first with all the things happening now.
I like to think I am holding the light for certain people around me and it is very hard to hold that balance when I am around those who throw psychic stones at me when I am in their presence.
Thanks to all of you for reading this....
Love ya!

Good for you, Cante! Heeding the inner urging to move forward is happening to people the world over. It's not always so easy to do, but it is always with purpose and for the highest good of all.

Bless you!

Love you! (((Hugs)))

Yes, I too applaud you. I am in the same place, wanting to leave my day job, writing for an internet content mill. I have no idea how I will make enough money to survive, but it just doesn't fill me any more. I am right there with you Cante. Do what you feel is best for you. No one else will take care of you like you can. The others will find their way. Keep us posted.

Love,
Lili

Thanks Sowelu and Lili for your comments. I am fortunate to be a freelance writer/editor for a local newspaper so I dont have to be in an office all day, unless you count my home office. I served on three different committees. I have resigned the most stressful one and I am a lot happier even though it has only been a week. I have decided to stick out the other two because the terms end this year. Then I will be free.
I remember when I walked away from my high paying, full time job as a PR person 10 years ago. I just got tired of it and up and quit. I still remember thinking "the universe will take care of me" my boss said she wished she had my clarity. Times were rough for a while but now I am at a place where I have enough resources to live while loving my job as a writer.
Have a great weekend....dontcha love that moon!
Love, Cante
