Hello there. Just curious about something as I find most people, and especially men, don’t really open up to being lost in life. Or maybe I’m just not talking to the right kind of folks, who knows
I’m 38 years old and only now have I actually realized what I want in life. I’ve never wanted stuff or anything material or any sort of career as I find those things to be empty, for at me at least. Looking back, I had a good career and lifestyle but I felt like I was just going through the motions. Just getting up everyday and running out the clock if that makes sense. And let’s face it, that kind of life is pretty easy. Go to work, the store, to a home someone else built. It’s pretty easy to stay in the lanes and a pretty comfortable setting.
But I never wanted that comfort. I decided to live more with nature and provide for myself by learning to hunt and I’m starting a business of my own that really doesn’t require me to sell anything to the public or anything like that so I feel completely independent, or at least on the path to pure independence.
But what I find is resistance now. Especially from family. That I’m somehow insane for wanting to purely rely on myself and wanting to live a life that I truly value. Has anyone else made significant changes later on in life? How was it? What were some challenges?
