...so, right now, I'm at a crossroad in life as far as career is concerned. For the past few years, I have worked a job without any promise of future benefit (literally). Though it has been beneficial in some areas, it has not served me financial meaning that is, overall, a position that extracts more than it offers and is no longer of service to a healthy whole life for me.
Thanks to guidance in Underearners Anonymous (with secondary help in Debtor's Anonymous) and guidance from my God, I have increased clarity on what I spend each month, the finances I need to sustain a healthy life; meaning that I now have a minimum dollar amount that I need to properly care for myself (including vacations, special dietary needs, etc); to accept anything lower would be self debting or a form of self abuse. Additionally, accepting work in an environment that is abusive (laborious work, underearning companies that have difficulty paying their employees raises, etc) would also be self debting for me. Even in the mist of economic challenge for lots of people and companies...there are still people and companies that are thriving.
So, at this crossroad, I am stepping out with my eyes wide open...knowing what I want and what I need to live a healthy whole life...
Do you feel deserving of living a healthy whole life? What does this look like/feel like for you? What actions are you willing to take to walk towards healthy whole living?
