This entry features lessons 4 and 5 from the five lessons I learned from getting a day job.
Know what and when to quit.
I’ve shared before about the three distinctions to help you make a decision.
Now on quitting something, you have to ask yourself:
“Am I quitting because I don’t want to do something in this job or am I quitting because I know that there is something else that is pulling at me?”
“Am I just escaping from something or am I running towards something?”
But how do we know when to quit?
Sometimes, we just know deep down if there’s that peace.
Like with what happened for me recently, I just know that it’s time. But when I first decided to resign (a month or so ago), there was a week of back and forth.
In my head, I’m so ready, but something is still stopping me. Something is not right. I don’t know what it is. So what happened was they offered me a part-time position and it worked. At least for a short time.
Be open in experimenting and exploring before you say, “Okay you know what, this is really not for me. I quit!”
Trust in yourself, no matter what.
This is one of the biggest lessons I received: I need to trust myself more.
Everything that I need is already within me.
But because I was doubting myself if I can really do this — if I really have what it takes — it’s stopping Spirit from working through my life.
This experience has taught me that I do know myself. I really know myself.
Of course there’s still so much to discover, but deep down, I already know what to do. I just have to trust that inner voice, that small still voice of my Spirit.
Trust and have faith that everything is going to be all right.
Every aspect of ourselves just wants us to be better, to live our best lives, to be all that we can be.
As long as we are listening to that golden voice within us, then you’ll really know. And you’ll know that it is right from this feeling of peace.

- Where in your life are you not trusting yourself — that small still voice within you?
