Live your life and pursue your dreams.

When i quit my job and started out on my own a lot of friends and even relatives thought that i was crazy, some thought that i was having some kind of a nervous break down, "How can you quit a steady job?", "How are you planning to support your family?" and "Why do you want to do something like this at this stage in your life". Some of my friends took me out for a drink and then ambushed me into talking about my future and why at this stage was i rocking the boat, when things were going so right for me. They asked me questions like "So, what's the plan?, What business are you planning to start". All i told them was look"I'm fed up with working for big companies that don't care, petty office politics, sucking up to people and clients, and i definetly don't want to be a part of the world where the client is always right, where infact the client is a complete moron, and yet we treat him like he is Einstein". Honestly when i quit my job all i knew was these were things that i didn't want to do.
I wanted to get back to writing what i liked about rather than what the client thought i should say, and i wanted to get back to film making or rather learn the craft of film making.

Sadly nobody seems to get the point about following ones dreams if it's not got a slick business plan attached to it. So here i am following my dreams, doing what i like doing. Why have i written this? Because i feel it's necessary to tell people to take those chances, rather than thinking "What if?".

Good post simpleman. So often folks get lost in ruing over yesterday or planning for tomorrow, that they don't live today.

Thanks! I myself have lost a few todays, worrying about what's going to happen tomorrow. It took just one incident to change it.
