I like the path least traveled. Full of rocks and stuff, but never boring!

Hey Johnny, How old are you? How did you come up with this great epiphanies. Haha! I love this one! This is a great read in general. About life, about everything!

I really like the “This Beautiful Thing Called Life” Part. Let me quote it — “Life, conversely, is like imported Italian ice cream. Something to be enjoyed, to be experienced, to be toyed with, risked, investigated, challenged, experimented on and, over all, “Devoured” with lots of mess around the facial region.”

People tend not to do things that they are scared of. They are afraid of taking risks and negativity comes first. These people should always look forward and be acceptable of what life has to offer to them. Good or bad, they should embrace it. So they would not end up regretting.

I am currently on the road most traveled, and looking for my exit. I realized how much my life was out of balance when I was laid off earlier this year. I have since taking another job in the corporate world to pay the bills, but I’m actively working on an extraction plan to get out of the corporate world and back into my world. Posts like this get me excited about my future prospects! Thanks!

I’ve been working myself on time management – wondering where to alot my time and concern. I think focusing all of your time on one area doesn’t help – especially if other areas are losing focus in the meantime.

Very insightful. Thanks!

Jonny, I really loved this post. I quit corporate life some years ago, and would never go back. Still, it’s not easy, and there are times when I wonder whether I’m crazy to be on this path, trying to be alive to all the different experiences I have good and bad. Today is one of those days, so I am really pleased to have met you on this road!!

Thank you!

Definitely agreed. I think a lot this comes from people being jaded with the corporate world. They don’t feel cared for. They don’t feel trusted by their employer. Most importantly, as you stated above, they don’t feel like they have a sense of purpose.

It’s so unfortunate that people get caught in this and I’m struggling through it myself right now. Growing up, we’re not taught to utilize our innate strengths and talents. Instead, high cost education, fancy jobs, big homes and sports cars are seen as signs of success. So, people chase this and then once they have it they realize that it doesn’t make them any happier.

Really enjoyed this Jonny… So many great, wierd and profound lines in here!

My fave is: “Like the puffer fish, a job can give the illusion of being a monster with spines that requires your full attention, but in reality it is but a tiddler in the vast ocean of your potential experience.”

When you gonna come guest post for me?

It is important to remember that, you’re working live can give you purpose. This is a fundamental drive in life. When people fail to thrive it’s because of a lack of purpose.

Most people need the structure of a employer based work environment as they have a lack of either skills or ambition to drive through a alternative option.

i worked full time in the NHS and became very unhappy with working for someone else. There rules their way. Even if it’s not the right way. so for me even though it was scary I took the leap into the unknown and started up a company which quickly grow to provide me with income and Purpose.

Don’t get me wrong it’s not a bed of roses, this path can be a struggle and sometimes it goes titts up. But as in the words of Chumba wamba, i get knocked down and i get back up again you aint never gonna keep me down. Its this attitude that and drive that sees success.

Jonny mate you have this drive and i know you will be a great success. People watch out for the next Tim Ferris, i predict good things from this guy.
