Hi All,
I am craving a streamlined version of living, I have placed this thread under Spirituality because I believe that a step out of the rat race is a step toward a spiritualy enriched existance.
I have always ensured that my values & principles where safe guarded while my employees (bank) insisted in business development & growth. I have worked for them for 15 years now & I have to say it has been for my own financial acheivments.
I have a mortgage, so to give my children security should anything happen to me.
This need has been instilled by deterating health over the past 5 years.
I am now under the impression that my health issues where fueled by my unconscious desire to speak out!
I have now spoken out & I suppose reversed the process, which I think has made me re-evaluate my future.
Mainly because I am coming around to the idea that I have one.
Why am I sharing this, well I guess that I am not the first or the last to want to live a life that is enriching & although motivated to act, I am looking for others to share their experiences.
Love & Hugs
Susan

RE: Needing out of the rat race
Hi Susan
Mine is a bit different but is very simple in its complexness
For me its live in the rat race with the rats with the security that you are the master or you know in side your self that you can create anything be any thing nothing is to hard or easy but is some thing to do and just do it if thats what you want to do
just to do it or to experience it in the knowing that its not going to make your life better it may or may not for that comes from in side you and the way you look at the world or your meaning to life
to walk in love of all that is this sacred planet in love of all in the irony that I have to eat and kill
to walk in love of all people from the murder to the president in the knowing that I can be ether if I was pushed to do so and in accepting all I see good and bad in the world gives me the ability to aspect my self and truly love the dark side as well as the light that shines as well
and walk in the knowing that no one person is any better or worse than me
to walk in my power of that I can make any reason or excuse for every choice that I make to justify others expectations of what I should be and to say I was sorry if I did not met there expectation
and walk in the knowing there in no right or wrong way to do any thing just some work better than others for each individual
and in short not to walk in the right and wrong game
and see how awesome people be in this sacred planet and the fighting loving as they help each other walk through their fears and in ever fear realized is a awesome gift and the pain and courage that it can take at to walk through it is far out wade by the freedom in your being to experience a grater understanding of love
as thay (spirit) say to me this is your life experience and you can choose to see it any way you want you are free to experience self in that one day you will return to the oneness and sit in the god energy
you can not feel a flower touch some one sex ha ha the thrill of adrenaline as you come near to death love and feel water on you body get pissed
get angry feel emotions make judgments create things hug some one
love brent
RE: Needing out of the rat race
Hi,
having recently escaped the rat race (also most recently a bank funnily enough) having had years in the corporate world, I can honestly say I am now more balanced, more blissfully happy, and I haven't missed the salary, car, pension and trappings that go with life in the rat race. I guess i just got to the point where their (Big companies)belief that what they were doing was so important, ( which of course its not that important in the bigger scheme of things) would no longer sit comfortably with me!

Hi Susan
it seems that now you are releasing so much, you're also realising & recognising what your soul wants/ needs. Your healing is well and truely taking off. There are a few people i know now that are escaping the Rat race of corporate enterprise.... Follow your heart Susan, Good luck in what ever you decide.
Walk gently in love life & freedom Maria xxxx ( hmmmmm funny i justy wrote it like that rather than my normal love light & peace)
RE: Needing out of the rat race
Susan,
I am in a similar position in that I am trying to leave the rat race! I'm trying to gradually build up my healing business so that I can leave my stressful IT job. I cannot afford to just quit my job at the moment as I have rent & bills to pay (& boyfriend has a 2 yr old daughter from previous relationship)! Corporate ideals don't fit my way of thinking & I'm fed up of the stress & travelling. [:@]
I'm just focusing on the positive & knowing that I'm gradually getting closer to my chosen path. I know I'm meant to do healing & working with crystals - I can feel my spirit soar whenever I do this :D.
So know that you are not alone on this journey, there are many of us by your side [sm=grouphug.gif]
Remember to 'Feel the fear & do it anyway'... I've only recently started to do this & I've been amazed at the people & things that have been attracted to me! I've found a place to do crystal therapy from on Fridays (my day off) & started to make a few friends with similar ideas...
I hope that you keep following your heart & have fun on your journey 😀
Good luck with all you do.
Love & light
Lou
