During the decade of the 90's I was in my 20's and worked in corporate America in sales earning enough money to put me in the top 1% income earners in the United States yet, I still felt unfulfilled. The gnawing feeling in my gut told me I needed a change and I knew it was coming it was just a matter of when.
By the urging of my family I went about the process slowly, day after day I stayed in my job feeling unfulfilled and literally "gutting it out" at work until one day came when I could no longer ignore what I was feeling. I remember driving to work and felt a deep yearning in my gut for something more. Not wanting to act impulsively, I decided to wait another 30 days, promising myself if I still felt the same gnawing feeling in my gut for 30 days in a row, I would create a plan to exit my job.
Sure enough 30 days came and went, the feeling was still as strong as ever and even though I felt a tremendous amount of fear, I still honored my promise. I flew to New York, met with my boss and resigned from my job. The feeling was exhilarating and frightening all at the same time. That was eleven years ago, and following my gut has allowed me to live a life of complete freedom traveling the world, giving back to my community and now stepping into my Soul's purpose of teaching others to align with their purpose.
So my friends, are you following your gut or still gutting it out?
Wealth and wisdom blessings to you,
Jaden
