SublimeBreeze 0 #1 July 3, 2003 I often ask myself if I am going crazy. The reason I ask this is because I feel trapped in the daily grind of life. Am I alone in this feeling of despair and emptyness that fills my heart. One of the main reason's that I skydive is because it is a release from the daily grind. It sets me free mentally, physically, and spirtually. I feel so strongly about this that I feel like I could dedicate my life to the art of skydiving. I get too caught up in trying to accomplish things during the day. I run my own business, go to school full-time, and juggle with family and friends. I am doing so much that I feel like I never get anything done. I suppose it comes with the territory, but I often wonder what the meaning of life. Which reminds me a conversation I had with another person. They quoted the Dalai Lama when asked the same question and he simply answered "Happyness, to be happy." Make perfect sense to me. I find myself unhappy in my current situation but I also realize that it takes dedication to be successful and for things to pay off but where do you draw the line? If anybody has input I would love to hear about your personal experiences and or suggestions. I love my business and it makes me so happy but doing all this is such a stress IE school and business. I only have one more year left. Vibes I suppose might help =D Sean Sean Sean In Thailand Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
yardhippie 0 #2 July 3, 2003 hey.... I quit a GREAT job (great pay, benifits, vacatioon), where I had a lot of freedoms to do as I pleased, to make me more sane. It was high pressure, high stress, and no matter how good I did my superiors always said I could do better. So, after 9 years w/ them I gave them the finger. and my wife couldnt be happier. money has been tight, and its been an issue, cuz now im working for myself also, but lacking steady work. But things are looking up for us... IMHO... is worth sacrifice to be happy! I watched my parents struggle through 21 years of misery going to college, getting jobs they hated, and eventually hating each other.... I refuse to follow that road. I wish I could skydive and make enough money to pay the bills.... maybe one day hope this helps... good luck.... I can and will get better!Goddam dirty hippies piss me off! ~GFD "What do I get for closing your rig?" ~ me "Anything you want." ~ female skydiver Mohoso Rodriguez #865 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
