Thank you everyone for the comments. Florian, good luck with your move, moving halfway around the world is always a good idea. Please let me know how everything turns out with your ambitious job change. Good luck! And thank you for sharing your story Rmetalbroad, that's awesome. I hear Santa Barbara is awesome. My friend Lela lives there, I think, she's awesome too. It sounds like it's all coming into place, even though your journey was challenging, and that's what counts. Good luck with everything, and keep in touch. Best, Everett I’m so excited about the interest that this post has received. Thank you everyone for the comments.

Last summer I quit my cubicle dwelling job after being there 5 years to move up to a new coastal town, find a new job and try to get into nursing school. I also moved up here for a man. I man I broke up with the night before finals. And you know what? It's been <I>so</I> hard. But I got a job I absolutely love, I am starting to make friends and am in school. Yes, it's been so hard, and will continue to be hard, but my bravery has been my lifeline. I can no longer be complacent and settle for a dull life. It's hard but it's worth it. :) Great article.

I won't know anybody. The job will scare the shit out of me. And I am thrilled and looking forward to it. Really thrilled. I mean the kind of thrilled that makes you get up at 04:00 AM with ease. Seriously, I knew it since a few weeks but this post made me sign my own deal. I'll evernote this and remember it, forever hopefully.

You have no idea how much this has helped me. I've found myself laterally edging towards minimalism (or maybe it's more like being called), and your blog is a great inspiration to me. Thank you.

I admire all of the courage and the willingness to take risks that all of you have. You are all an inspiration to the world. Jiri, I'll be sure to read The Four Agreements, after researching the text, it sounds like something I'd really enjoy reading. I’m so glad you all enjoyed the article so much.

I especially like the statement: "...you can do anything you want to, as long as you’re willing to sacrifice your ability to undermine yourself." It comes down to believing your personal story and having faith in your inner spirit. To reach your fullest potential, you must trust yourself, be consistent in your efforts and listen to what others say, but choose to incorporate only what your heart tells you is essential to your life gestalt.
