I really hope that you find something you can be passionate about because I am sure it will lead you to where you need to be. I remember when I was in a similar position before I found homeopathy - I felt vaguely dissatisfied but didn't know what to do about it - like an itch I couldn't scratch ! It would be great to hear more about your quest if you feel like sharing that. Thanks again for your comments Roger Hi Sheila

And so I am on a quest to find a true passion, keeping my eyes open and trying new things. Your story is inspiring, as well as those of the others who have commented. When I find something I really enjoy, it will make it easier for me to leap! Thank you to all of you for sharing! Sheila Hi Roger,

I am still in a job that I like very much but is not what I feel I am “meant to be doing.” And so I am on a quest to find a true passion, keeping my eyes open and trying new things.

Your story is inspiring, as well as those of the others who have commented. When I find something I really enjoy, it will make it easier for me to leap!

Thank you to all of you for sharing!
Sheila

So I ended up staying a year longer than I really should have. I submitted my resignation and was put into a new job - which I actually liked. I started thinking about pulling my resignation. A month later I hurt my back (which I know know was a sign) and realized that it was time for me to go. I have been very lucky that my family and friends have been very supportive. There were a few that thought I was crazy - but when I see them now it is clear who is happier with their career.

Thanks for kind comments. I am increasingly seeing that action is so necessary. Leaving my job was certainly an action and a big one, but small actions, I think, can be important too. As I continue on my path I am incorporating more actions which, as you say, create more opportunities for the Universe to provide me with what I need. The net has always been there for me !

I think the jump to self-employment is always a leap of faith. We can try to transition, we can try to build up our nest egg first, all in an attempt to make ourselves feel secure. But in the end, we have to leap ... and know that only through our action can the responsive Universe move to support us. Jump, and the net will appear! Jumping is hard. The net is miraculous. It's a blessing to be able to go through this process and witness what unfolds when we take action on our own behalf.

It was scary at first to leave a job, but I'm glad I did. As you said, when the timing is right you'll feel it. If nothing is lose, nothing is gain either. So, don't fear tomorrow :) So sad that your close friends didn’t want to understand you.
