I am for doing thing for yourself if you can. Although not feasible for a lot of people for multiple reasons. He had a reason for doing so (to get away from it all) and he did but he didn't need permission to do so and it worked for him. Bravo!
Always a great reminder to live YOUR life NOW! Whatever that version may be! Fux whatever else people think! You’re not trying live their life you’re trying to live yours and ONLY you can do that 💪🏼👊🏻
When I was going through a rough divorce my coach did what we called Installing my “No”. I didn’t realize after being married 25yrs what no was! I didn’t have a No installed. I got extremely comfortable just saying Yes Dear to everything. Not knowing I was giving up so much of my personhood to avoid conflict.
When my coach finally got me to say “No”! To something it was a whole new world for me! She taught me that I didn’t have to give anyone an explanation on anything I was doing. I can simply say NO Period. And that was it!
Previously being a super compliant person I really didn’t understand the word NO!
It’s so empowering!
As in your story! I’m doing this because I want to…or because I can or because it’s a challenge! You really don’t need a lengthy explanation on why you are doing something. Maybe because it gives me Joy!! It’s your life story you are writing make it the best story you can!!
I love to drive and have driven by myself back and forth across the United States five times...and have also driven with others 5 times without a cell phone. i was told that i shouldn't do it, but I totally trust in our Creator and never felt alone. in 1978, I made a Spur of the Moment Decision to move into the Mojave desert to a little town called California City. it turned out to be the perfect place to start writing...and I wound up writing a 300 page manuscript entitled How to Raise an Organic Baby: A Mother's 22 years of Experience Raising Four Children. I had been tied down for 21 years in one place... and i wanted to be free. After, I finished writing this manuscript and started work on another one entitled For Thou Art With me, I drove across the United States in November of 1979 to NYC to take it to a publisher and wound up living in Connecticut, on and off for two years. The publisher was interested and sat on it for almost 3 months. Then, I went into NYC on a train to go to his office...and he told me that he would have like to have published it, but the AMA would not approve as I didn't have a Doctorate (and most likely, because I wrote about the negative experiences with my child's pediatrician). I learned back in 1980, what a stranglehold the AMA has on information that it doesn't want the public to know.

It’s true. He learned to rely on himself. To make do. He won at life before ever retiring.

Doing something for yourself is not only moral, it's your responsibility.
