It's powerful to see someone else living out what you definitely don't want to do. I have a person like that in my close family, and his unwillingness to take the risk of leaving what has kept him miserable for decades is a strong motivator for me in taking action, making a change, when I start to feel stuck.

My recent acceptance of a full-time job had a bit of that motivation behind it, but I'm still questioning the decision and whether it was more based on fear of getting stuck than a need for change.

Decisions like these are tough. I hope you're starting to taste more fulfillment in your day to day, both in and out of work.

It really is! Very startling to come face to face with it.

I get the questioning of full-time work. I've definitely been there! If there's anything I've learned from going back and forth, it's that nothing is permanent. You can change your mind and it won't "damage" your career the way people like to warn that it will. 🌿
