Comments on: Before You Kill Your Day Job, Ask Yourself Tough Questions http://www.steve-olson.com/before-you-kill-your-day-job-ask-yourself-tough-questions/ For People Pursuing Freedom Wed, 07 Jan 2009 01:09:40 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Dereck Coatney http://www.steve-olson.com/before-you-kill-your-day-job-ask-yourself-tough-questions/#comment-123574 Dereck Coatney Tue, 30 Sep 2008 01:47:31 +0000 http://www.steve-olson.com/?p=259#comment-123574 Lots of good material here. I like how you incorporated your personal ambitions and desires at the end, after challenging people to ask all the right questions in the beginning. And really though, I personally feel that most people refuse to ask these questions because they're afraid of what the answers might be. The answers might make implications about the actions they should take that their heart may not want them to take. Exercises like this one are the necessary ones where we can merge our hopes with the landscape of reality around us so we can hope to find a way to put those hopes in that landscape. It forces us to acknowledge the truths and make possible modifications if necessary. In short, it makes us think things through and act wisely as we work toward what it is we want. Great post Steve.
