Ive been at work now for the past 6hrs and this is exactly whats on my mind. I cant even think about this 8-5. The only thing that keeps replaying is how much of a colossal waste of time this is.I went to the prom once. Had the night of my life. It was the kind of night you wished would never end. The night settled into the early morning. We never wanted it to end. It was if we were breathing new air. It literally was, up until that point, the time of my life. The next week, everyone else settled back into their old routines. Not me. I continued to live in that moment, falling more and more in love with the girl. While everyone else eventually slipped back into mediocrity, I decided I was going to spend the rest of my life pursuing her.
I married her.
What about you? Are you simply going to look back on this awesome experience as an event, with the memories and lessons and contacts and feelings eventually fading to black? Or... are you going to marry it and make it even bigger than this past weekend was for you? You don't have to be one of them. You don't have to go back to the way things were for you last week, last month, or last year. You can stay in the moment.
A lot of you have posted thanks. Awe. Inspiration. Motivation. Enthusiasm. Appreciation. Resolve.
Now what? Are you going to marry the girl, or are you going to be like most of the attendees and just look back at it as a fond memory and moment in time?
Now that you are all back where you started from, now what?
If, a year from now, you find yourself unchanged and in the same place you were last week, you wasted your money and other people's time. Now is the time to decide. Now is the time to make a break for it. Now is the time to leave bold declarations as the "old you" and make decisive action the "new you."
We're waiting for you. Are you going to be on the speakers platform next year after a transformational year like @Eskil ?
Im formulating a way I can leave this job so I can build something real while not falling behind on my bills. I want to be out by June
