Right??? I agree with this line of thought. If I keep on doing what I am doing, nothing will change. That about sums it all up for me.
I want more out of life for myself AND my kids. Living paycheck to paycheck is getting me nowhere, so for me to break this vicious cycle I have chosen to go the skoolie route. It's time I am more aggressive about getting where I want to be and getting what I want out of this life. My only regret is not doing this sooner! Plus, I believe going this route is liberating and I am all about that.
I believe that this will also teach my kids that if they put their mind to it, they can do anything. I have to be an example to them that anything is possible and happiness doesn't come from following the crowd all the time, but doing what is necessary in a healthy way to achieve your dreams.
We only live once so don't let someone else' ideals or opinions (assumptions, etc.) rob you of your dreams. I did that far too much seeking others' approval for far too long and won't continue doing that anymore. Granted, the Skoolie is only a stepping stool for me to get closer to my dream, but I know I am going to learn a lot and gain more self confidence. It truly is all about the journey, not the destination!
