Oh, I totally agree. When people seem to be asking if they should take a leap or quit a job, I completely hedge my response with lots of “it depends” and “well, think about it.” The funny thing is that my partner in Question the Rules (http://QuestionTheRules.com), Lee Stranahan, has zero such issues and pretty much just says, “Yes, quit the job.” Ha!

Yes, I do agree with you, but it seems like an insane thing to believe in (in theory).

You wouldn’t tell someone to quit their job even if they don’t have a backup plan. Doesn’t sound like sound advice (again, in theory). But it seems, from experience, more often than not, things do take care of themselves. Last month I got a money transfer and I still have no clue where that money came from. But it helped a lot.

@Jason – Yeah, that’s how my mind works. It doesn’t make a lot of sense all the time, but since I was doing One Step Ahead of the Spider, “Detachable Penis” wasn’t far behind.

@Haider – Actually sounds to me like you DO agree. What is it in particular that you don’t agree with, in theory?

Johnny, I strongly disagree with this post (in theory), and wholeheartedly agree with it (in practice).

I quit my job just under a year ago, and every time I run short on money, something totally unexpected happens that brings me back to the safe zone.

Looking back on my decision to quit my job, I’d say it was a dumb move, and I should’ve waited until I had a stable income stream. Looking at how my life is turning out right now (and how benevolent the universe seems to be), I can only smile and enjoy what life has to throw my way.

GAh. Dude. You. Are. Awesome.

Love your style, your vibe, your subject matter, and LOVE THAT YOU KNOW “DETACHABLE PENIS” – what a weird, wacked-out track from wayback, and what a weirder way to tie it in to faith.

Fan-Frickin’-Tastic.

I feel very much on the same page. I trust your trust. Rock on.

Ah, yes… that’s what I like most about this post. I wrote it when things were kind of ugly, knowing they’d get better and work out fine. And that’s exactly what happened.
