    Yup. Wise words indeed. For many, this is scary and unknown. For some, it is a goal and an achievement. For a few, its not even a choice, more like the only viable path. I can only speak for myself, but this manifestation is the prime method of motivation, and I cant seem to find any other way for motivating myself.

      I just left my factory electrician job because it was more like slavery than financial freedom. 6 days a week all 12s and only one day of rest before repeat and they made us run lines more than keep the damn equipment up kept and that is not why I went to college and got into the electrical field to half ass shit and be a damn line operator with privileges. I just finished my wood working workshop out and have started building simple things that sell in my area. House is paid off I have no debt, and wanna live and learn more than slave and be miserable. Regardless of the money.

    Monday I found out and confirmed that I’m going to be having a baby!! The single most exciting, and scary thing I have ever heard in my life. My house has been on the list for a LONG time and I’ve put it off for even longer. Now I have 7-8 months to do…. Everything. I need a floor, I need new walls, I need another bathroom!! This video not only reminds me that I can do it, but that I’m not alone in being “scared” of change. Even if I know it’s going to be so much better and I already know how to do the work. Everything is scary for the first time just like having a baby, but I like to think just like work you fall into it and prevail. Thanks for the motivation

    There's always something to spend my energy on.
    Most of those things are pretty daunting projects that i've had to learn stuff for.
