Crawling out from the abyss

by Shang Lee

I was frantically scratching the walls that engulfed me, trying to crawl myself out of the self-made abyss. The more I think about it, the more it doesn’t make sense. My life’s training so far has been to analyse things. Weigh the pros and cons. Make decisions based on that. And yet, in this matter (and probably many matters to come), analysis seems to be the antithesis to my well being. So I did what my heart told me to do.

I quit my day job.

It’s not that the day job is bad. It’s not that I don’t realise the economy is bad. It’s not that I don’t realise everyone else is losing their job and I’m voluntarily losing mine. All these reasons made it more difficult for me to make this decision.

There seems to be something I need to do, but I don’t what that is yet. The day job is not fun anymore, it’s just to pass the day and earn a living. A lot of what is said here strikes a chord with me as well.

I don’t know where this will take me, and I wouldn’t advise this to you as well (yet!). All I can say is this – I am learning. I am learning how to uncomplicate my life. I’m learning why less is more. I’m learning if I can work less and make more profits. Basically, I’m learning the meaning of “less”.

I guess “learning less everyday” does sum it up. :)
