Hey Guys,
I’ve been wanting to contribute more to this community for a few months now, but I couldn’t figure out how I could offer something valuable. So, I thought about sharing an experience I’m going through right now that other youngsters might find useful. I also think it could be interesting if other forum members could share their own experiences as well.
Brief intro about me:
I’m turning 24 years old on Thursday. I’m a full-time student pursuing a Bachelor of Business degree with a concentration in entrepreneurship (got 1 year left). I work part-time for the federal government of Canada and I got a business venture that I’m currently working on and investigating.
So here it is,
In less than a month (May 1st) , I’m officially moving out of my mom’s house. I’m super excited, but holy **** I’m scared, lol. It’s a funny feeling actually. If I could describe it effectively, I’d say it’s a mixture of feelings of accomplishment, progress and hustling, but also small feelings of anxiety and loss of comfort and security. I LOVE it. In fact, I’ve noticed that a few people on this forum mentioned that moving out of their parent’s house was one of the best decision they’ve made for their Fast lane pursuit (including MJ if I recall correctly). I also think that this will turn out to be a very important event in my journey. The reason being very similar to MJ’s and others: gaining control of my home environment (better control of the food that is brought home, a calm & a quiet office room dedicated to a better working environment, less noise from inquiring parents, more independence, etc..)
For those who already took the leap, my questions to you guys are:
- what pushed you to finally do it?
- Did you notice any difference with your habits or thought processes prior to this decision?
- Did it affect the relationship between you and your parents? Positively or Negatively? (Don't need to answer that if it's too personal...)
- Do you have any lessons that you still carry on with you to this day?
In my case, it was my Mom’s toxic new boyfriend that pushed me to do it… You know, the classic “know-it-all” kind of dude who has an answer and an explanation for EVERYTHING. Anyway, he was a HUGE distraction and an unwanted source of stress that I had absolutely no control over.
The feeling I got when I realized that he was secretly planning his way into our home is probably the same as when you come back home and you see your new dog staring at you with a fake innocent smile and you realized that he has peed all over the house.
However, since I’ve made the decision to move, this stuff doesn't bother me anymore! In fact, I sleep better, I worry less and my relationship with my girlfriend is stronger than ever. Ironically, I would of thought that taking such an important decision in my life would have made me more worried ... But on the contrary, I feel aligned and at peace with this decision, regardless of the future obstacles. From my perspective, it seems like this is one of the very first critical events/decisions that are required on the fast lane journey.
Anyway, this is where I'm at so far,
Cheers!
