The more I think about it, the more incomprehensible it becomes.
By “it” I mean my new life. I stepped away from my cubicle job almost exactly four months ago but it already seems like four years or, more accurately, a lifetime...I don’t mean in a bad way.
I feel like, little by little, I’m shedding all attachments to the old centralized world and existing more and more in a wonderful new decentralized one. I’m still finding my balance and am also struggling to remember what day of the week it is (one of the side-effects of living in the decentralized world.)
Like many others, for my entire adult life I was duped by the dark and dangerous charisma of centralization. I trusted that these people were smarter and more capable than me to decide my destiny. Those at the top of the pyramid dangled the carrots that were always kept just out of reach. Empty promises were sprinkled liberally and strategically as I worked harder, giving more of myself in the hope that I would be recognized and gain acceptance. The dangerous part of this is the years that slipped by before I saw through the charade.
I realize now how equally dangerous it was to hand so much of my personal power to another person or entity. You merely have to look at history to see how many horrible things have stemmed from this kind of misplaced trust.
After I found the strength to take that leap of faith and step away from that cubicle, the layers of brainwashing fell away one by one. I began to experience true freedom for the first time in my life. As I think back to the day I said my goodbyes to people I’d worked with for nearly a quarter century, October 13th, 2017 (Friday the 13th), there have been innumerable adjustments and realizations. The most prevalent was my revelation of how limiting and unfair that old life really was.
Now I work when on what I want, when I want, and I rest whenever I like. Since I’m suddenly not tied to a particular schedule I'm well-rested enough that my brain processes most of what I’m experiencing. I feel so much more fulfilled but since I’m out in the world during the time most people are at work I also feel like more of an observer of life.
I also notice now how frequently serendipitous moments occur. These are moments when “meaningful coincidences” happen. This is when the universe hands you the exact answer or lesson that you’ve been searching for at just the right time. It’s astonishing how often this happens throughout the course of a day when you’re able to pay attention. When you notice this it offers you a real short cut in your personal development.
It saddens me to see so people performing their daily routines like robots on autopilot. I was one of those people just four months ago, doing what I felt I needed to do to survive and keeping my dreams tucked away in my back pocket for “someday”. I woke up at 5:20am every weekday morning, showered, ate, drove to my parking lot, walked a mile to the building I worked in and spent nine or more hours of my day in a skyscraper working for someone else. At the end of the day, I had four hours left of my to decompress, socialize with friends and family, and try to find the time to work towards my real dream of writing.
My takeaway from years of experience in corporate America is this -- the employer pays just enough so the employees don’t walk away and, as a result, most employees work just hard enough so they don’t get fired. Unless you are in the upper echelon of management, high performance is rewarded, but the rewards often come in the form of more work and little else.
I just got back from three weeks of travel to work on a project that was born right here on Steemit, the HardFork Series. This project has grown like wildfire, beyond every expectation. It’s been a great example of what decentralization can do when applied to pretty much anything. I'm learning to let go of expectations and be more open to the possibilities of what could be.
After experiencing how much better life is in this decentralized world it’s my goal to help ferry more and more people over “to the other side”. I’m doing this by helping to educate others about cryptocurrency and blockchain whenever and however I can. Some people aren’t receptive, can’t grasp the concept, or don't want to put forth the effort to learn but I’ve made peace with the fact that not everyone is ready.
We aren’t meant put our dreams on hold or to toil away the best years of our lives for the benefit of a chosen few at the very top of the pyramid. We are meant have the time to discover the joy of our individual strengths and then apply those specific talents to fuel our own happiness and for the good of humanity. This is how our world will be saved.
Change is coming. Those who want freedom will have their chance to attain it. All it takes is an open mind and a willingness to do the work to make the transition from the old world to the new one...and it does require work. Don’t put it off until tomorrow. Learn all you can about cryptocurrency and blockchain, delve into it and then spread the word. Think about the ways you can apply this amazing technology to your individual passions. The future will arrive sooner than you think.
Yours in the Chain,
Eric

I completely agree with decentralization is freedom.I believe sometimes change in life is really important. Things change , even people change. Things in life are going to change. Its not about the changes , its about how we react to these changes , we should accept these changes and understand things change for a reason and usually it's for the better.

I'm staring at the copy of the book that you sent me right now. You mention in it the struggle between having your day job and having your actual job writing. The reason I find it so interesting is because you mentioned in the book how much you would like to be able to leave your day job......... and now you have so that's really cool.
Of course, you're exactly right about getting paid just enough to not leave your job. Today I was berated and treated incredibly poorly at my job. The district manager comes in and throws his weight around as if he's some kind of super villain.
None of us can do anything about it because we all really rely on that paycheck.
Having said that, I really love cryptocurrency.
I think of you as someone who I want to follow in regards to how well you are doing. I really hope that at some point I'm able to leave my job just as you have and find some kind of success such the kind that you are finding.
It's always good to see you post.

It was such a struggle @jeezzle but worth every effort. I spent a whole spring and summer (while working 60+ hours per week at the day job) writing that book for a small press, they decided not to put any resources behind the marketing of it so sales fell flat then they took it out of print.
I almost gave up at that point and threw in the towel. Thankfully I kept going but that experience drove home the point that traditional/centralized publishing wasn't the way to go and set the stage for me to publish Alarm Clock Dawn on Steemit and then self-publish The Perfect Pause.
I'm sorry to hear about your experience at work. It's so unfair how much power management wields and how freely they abuse it. The that I've learned is they're often they're the most unhappy of all the employees so they take it out on others.
I really feel like cryptocurrency will be the path to freedom for a lot of people. This next year should see some pretty amazing growth. I wish you luck on your path, my friend.
As always, thanks for stopping by and for your thoughtful comments.

So happy that you've broken away from the corporate world early in life! I waited for retirement and can't help thinking of how different life could have been. We may work harder at times now but are reaping the rewards in more ways than one. No peak hour traffic, no more irritations with office politics. We get to enjoy a leisurely start to the day, plus I've started meditating again!
Must mention at this point, your book is amazing so far, and has spurred me on to start meditating again, so a big thank you for that! The intro reminded me of myself; went through a serious depression and panic attacks for years, that fear of being afraid was the worst! I was on medication for many years to keep this in check but only started healing when I started going to yoga classes which was an aid to feeling better, but when I learnt how to meditate, the healing really started and I stopped the anti depressants. I learnt transcendental meditation which is so simple.
Will let you know as I progress with The Perfect Pause, something we can all do to not only heal ourselves but also affect the world around us in a good way!
Still an infant as far as cryptos go, rely on my son for advice, he's into mining, and designed his own trading bot which is doing very well, yep it's a whole new exciting world!

I'm glad you're enjoying the book and it makes me happy that it's been a catalyst for you to start meditating again. It really has been the single thing I can credit with turning my life around and have heard similar stories from so many others. It's nice now to live from a place of excitement instead of a place of fear.
I'll be looking forward to hearing more of your thoughts on the book as you progress.

Thank you @ericvancewalton for your insights. I'm also transitioning into decentralized life. Here on Steemit, do you still feel that creative people who are new to the platform can gradually realize their financial independence? Or is the system somewhat broken and favors just the whales and orcas?
In other words, is investing in STEEM a must or not?

Your'e welcome @organduo! I don't think it's absolutely necessary to invest in a bunch of Steem right out of the gate. Although there are many more users now than there were when I joined in 2016, in some ways I feel it's easier to get noticed than it used to be.
There are many accounts which are set up to help creators of good content get traction now (like @sndbox). My advice would be to reach out and utilize these tools at our disposal now. Sndbox is especially helpful because they have posting guidelines you have to follow in order to get their support, this forces content creators to become better. It takes a while to get noticed here but if you keep readjusting your approach until you find your niche you will eventually get there.
Another word of advice is to engage in other people's posts by leaving substantive comments on people's content you connect with. So many new users make the mistake of leaving spammy comments on 100 posts a day (i.e., "Love your work. I write good stuff too! Check out my blog!") when they'd connect with far more people if they left 5 genuine comments. The spammy comments actually drive people away. I hope this helps! Best of luck to you.

Awesome and inspiring. I left my job in Oct 2014 to pursue art full time. Back then, Facebook was more decentralized. Algorithms didn't block your content from your own followers. It was amazing! I was creating every day and building a business around my passion! Then in 2015 algorithms started to slowly cut away my audience, to the point that in 2017 for all intents and purposes, I didn't have an audience for my art anymore on facebook. It was the most stressful year of my life to be honest. I became full of doubt, and depression - and anger and resentment towards Facebook! I wasn't enjoying it anymore, working super hard for so little. It looked like I was going to have to look for a job. And then - I joined Steemit.
So far it's been helping me make ends meet, and be able to keep doing art full time. It feels AMAZING to have an audience that is growing again, and that will see my posts if they follow me. I followed you, looking forward to following more of your decentralized lifestyle journey!

Thank you @adammillwardart! I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with Facebook but am glad you found Steemit! I had the very same experience with Facebook during that timeframe. Before the monetization of the platform I was growing a decent readership and selling my self-published books. Like you, the audience I worked so hard to build for years on Facebook all of that vaporized over the course of a few months. Every now and then I go back to my Facebook Author page and post links to my Steemit articles but refuse to pay them so people who've liked my page see my posts. I miss interacting with some of by loyal readers I made there, many of them haven't joined Steemit so they can't really interact with my posts on here.
Honestly, I'm growing equally concerned with the quality of posts and interactions here on Steemit now. I think the plague of spammy comments (many of them are left by bots) and junk content are really harming the reputation of Steemit as a whole. I hope the platform can figure out a way to correct this in the near future.
I miss the days of thoughtful comments (like the one you just left), this kind of interaction makes you feel like people are really connecting with what you have to say. I wish you well in your art! I was following you a while ago but lost a few of the people I followed during one of the last updates. I've re-followed you and am looking forward to your future posts! Thanks!

My only regret is not joining Steemit when I first heard about it more than a year ago - I didn't trust giving my phone #. I worked in call centers for 17 years and I don;t like to give my phone #, I was like "Oh ya I send this phone # then I'll be getting calls from India every 5 mins" lol Oh well, my loss... Better late than never as the saying goes!There should be a support group here on Steemit for people who built creative businesses on Facebook and then basically lost them lol Stoked you enjoy my work enough to follow me! :)
Steemit does have some issues that will prevent most of my fans from migrating here, like absolutely no privacy, more so than the annoying but easy to ignore comments. People with weird exes, people who have jobs and don;t want thier bosses to find them blogging on Steemit. People on social assistance that can't be earning $ without losing their social assistance. I saw @fyrstikken bring up a good point too - when anyone can view a persons wallet, whales and even dolphins, could pretty easily become targets of things like kidnapping and extortion - and ruin Steemit's name much faster than "Upvote mi plese" Here;s his post if you hadn't seen it. https://steemit.com/serious-security/@fyrstikken/the-joy-of-flashing-the-steem-account-value
