We are conditioned from a young age to play it safe. Everyone follows the same path -> Grade School -> Highschool -> College (If youre parents can afford it) -> then a stable career like most of our parents. This path may have worked in the past but not as much in our day of age. With so much power in our fingertips and the ability to work from everywhere why choose to work in a cubicle.

We only get to play this game one time. We have one life.

– Gary Vaynerchuk

I cant lie, I was one of those guys. I followed that path to a T. I had the college degree and I had the steady job. Even while I write this I’m still working in that same job. The job is great but I work in a cubicle all day long. Then one day I worked from home. From that very moment it clicked. I realized that we have this ability to work from anywhere in the world. I was hooked. In my personal opinion, I don’t see any reason why most cubicle jobs need to go to an office.

It’s time to take the leap

I decided that as long as I can travel while working I will be happy. I chose this quote because I think it’s important for people like myself to not be afraid of making the change. Start with seeing if your boss will let you travel while working. Will they give you the freedom that we all deserve? Maybe they want to keep you there so that you dont explore “new oceans”. Either way this quote inspires me to look within and rethink (not regret) my choices. I’m on this journey with all of you. The search for freedom to explore new oceans.
