“I walked away from the job that was eating my one life.”

You traded security for time, and that's the right trade when the job was costing you the life it was supposed to fund. Most people stay until the job ends them. You did the math death forces eventually — you can always get more money, never more days. Now use the days well.

Your Practice

  1. List what the job was costing you that no salary could replace.
  2. Decide what the reclaimed hours are actually for. Don't just fill them.
  3. Build the next thing around the life you want, not the other way around.
  4. When fear of the leap returns, recall why you jumped.
