We have seasons of life: new chapters, relationships, places, and careers. It's inevitable that life will change and nothing is promised. Through the last year during a pandemic, we all realized that there is no sure thing in life. I knew so many people that lost their jobs and didn't know how they would pay their bills. I remember when I made the leap and joined the monastery. The people that were supporting my decision were strangers and not close family and friends. Whenever we want to start a new chapter in our life for the better, it's hard for those closest to us to support us. Once you make the change in your life than people eventually start coming around when they know that you're happy. Some people are afraid of making their own decisions so when they see others making important life decisions they are the first to speak in opposition. Going back to what it means to think like a monk, follow your heart. https://MonkMindset.com
