Why You Should Quit Your Job And Hop On The Back Of A Train
I often leave my house in the early morning in Anarchapulco with nothing in particular in mind to talk about.
But, I bring my phone and amidst the chaos of trying to walk five anarchist dogs all without leashes through the streets of the fourth most dangerous city in the world I always seem to think of something to talk about.
This time I got onto the topic of diet but then proceeded on to talk about how our cult(ure)/society/matrix is rigged to enslave you. I got into death contracts and warned against doing what everyone else is doing.
Before long I was advising you to quit your job and just hop on the back of a train and see where it leads you.
You might think I was kidding but I really wasn't. What I've found is that people take too few risks. They would rather live a mundane life to avoid risk and they always end up regretting it later.
And most people are so scared of death that they never actually live.
If you feel like you may need to shake things up in your life this video is for you!
If you haven't clicked "follow" on my new personal profile yet please give it a click. I'll be back regularly here on Steemit with more outside the box thinking. In fact, my thinking isn't even "outside the box". I don't know what the box is and even if I knew where it was I would never go there.
Life is meant to be lived! Hopefully I can inspire you to do so today!
That's so true Jeff! Most people don't start living and waiting for something or thinking that they need to be secured.. Nothing is true about this. There is no real security out there.
I was going on world traveling together with my girlfriend for nearly one year now. At the beginning we had nothing and we just started to build our online business. Today I'am not regretting this decision. We were in over 15 countries already and still counting.
It was the best decision I made in my life so far :) Thanks for this motivating video Jeff :)
Jeff would be an awesome guy to have a beer with. He is point on with EVERYTHING.
I took a chance and moved to Colombia 7 years ago. It changed my life and now I create content in the entertainment industry. I dig and share your philosophy
So true, I've quit my job couple months ago to chase the unknown, for something different from what everyone I know is doing. I am looking into crypto trading, e-commerce, plus I've ended up here. Even tho it's just the beginning, it still feels fulfilling. I feel free! Instead of putting my hard work for someone else's dreams, I want to put that hard work for MYSELF. And success should follow with consistency as long as I stay true to myself. Thank you @jeffberwick, keep the inspiration going. 😇
Creative destruction!
Cool, yeah that makes sense. I started freelancing about 4 years ago, and now I also have my own translation agency.
I did that same thing too. Don't stop hustling.
I think crypto has the power to save us from slavery.
They brought down Gawker for speaking/writing. My hope is that blockchain/ decentralized social networks and internet will prevent any laws and corporate masters from shutting anybody up.
You have been my inspiration for some years now.
I am working every day on becoming more free. And it is working for sure.

I love this piece,
Some of the things youve put out already resonates with most of the things i do.
Im a student who has gotten himself entrepreneurship and what i have learnt so far is, its all about risks.
I sometimes talk to my parents about it and the kinda freak out and say things like focus on your education first and blahblah
But the truthvis what you have said , risks are very necessary for growth to occur.
Thats for putting this lovely piece together and i will be looking out for more
One of the greatest heroes in our lifetime was a barely known young fellow "named"Alex Supertramp; being tired of the established way of living... - and the expectations society demands, putting us in balls & chains, Alex decided to take a step back Into The Wild, to live his life in freedom and dignity!
Just like we all should go for to widen inspiration and to free our souls! Cheers!
When the U.S. returns to a gold backed dollar you will experience real freedom!
It's not the US returning to the GB$S, it's the BRICS nations combined with Blockchain technology! You can bet on it! Cheers!
I dedicated my name to him. I love the movie and am in awe at his worldly aspirations.
Whenever the moment comes I'm losing awareness, feeling the shackles on my feet dragging me down, Alex becomes once again my guiding light.
I'm listening to Eddie Vedder's genius soundtrack, read in John Krakauer's book or watch the film produced and directed by Sean Penn... - and it reminds me over and over again: We're all here to be alive for real!
To feel the blood running through my veins, the wind blowing in my hair, the sunlight on my face, cold water running down my spine to wake me up again and again and again!
Wisely chosen Username!
@jeffberwick your article is pretty much spot on , 'we' as people are more afraid to get out of our comfort zone, so giving up on what we have would take us outside our comfort zone which we are not as a society to do so. We are so used to following the path of the people before us, that innovation is starting to become scarce from my point of view.
Fear of losing what we have is another reason, it seems nowadays we luck 'sentimental freedom' or some sort of it, i wish i wasn't part of them though!
Welcome to the socialist society which destroys everyones dreams.
Well said monaco1. Communism is the antithesis of freedom. For example, in communist countries you were told what career to take. A relative of mine was fascinated by electronics but had to train to become a taylor. Ridiculous! Fortunately communism's collapse allowed him to return to electronics. Enforcing "isms" on people will never work.
Yeah it is comfortable to get a fixed paycheck at the end of each month or week or two weeks. But 9 to 5 jobs can really tie you down in terms of creating something for the long term like a new business.
good to see you posting your personal thoughts jeff! If only more people knew that you could just get paid to post your thoughts...but then again most average people are too lazy to figure out how cryptocurrencies work anyway
Man you are awesome, I look 👀 forward to watching and reading more post from you 👍 Steem on- Untill we Steem again-Lyken Crypto- keep Learnin, Keep Investing.

I have quit my job 9 years ago. I have gained some good experiences with the job though.
Cool what are you doing for money these days?
hi pjcswart, i bought rental properties 3 years ago. The rent covers my expenses, so i am able to retire.
WOW that is pretty smart. How did you do it, did you pay cash for them?
hi pjcswart, thank you. Was using mortgage, and when the price of real estate is high i stop buying and use the profits to pay off some of the mortgage, and will buy again when it is undervalued
Where are you from?
New Zealand
Cool what do you do? Are you full time into real estate? Are you Afrikaans?
Interesting, makes sense!
