#0033: New year gift for you!!

Reading time: 9.10 min

Hey !!👋

It's been 2 years since I quit working full-time and switched to a work style that allows me to have more freedom and flexibility.

I know that this approach isn't for everyone, but it has given me a new perspective on the importance of balance in life. It's helped me understand that it's not about sacrificing one part of life for another—it's about finding the right combination that works for you.

The freedom to pursue my own passions and live a more balanced lifestyle has been nothing short of transformational.

My son can learn anywhere and that's the freedom we craved for. He has so much time for himself now. He can listen to music as much as he wants, He can attend virtual classes, and even make new friends from different parts of the world.

Yes! I believe everyone should have the freedom to choose how they want to spend their time, where they want to work, and who they want to be around. Whether that means living in a city or far away from it, or working remotely or in an office, everyone should have the freedom to make their own decisions without external pressure.

In a recent conversation with Andreas Wil Gerdes who is a digital nomad, I came to know that more and more people are choosing life-centric work over the hustle culture. I truly believe this is a great way to lead a happy and fulfilling life.

It's inspiring to see so many people taking control of their lives and carving out their own paths, regardless of what society dictates. We are all capable of creating our own unique version of success if we take the time to listen and follow our hearts.

We can expect to hear more people choosing to work remotely, freelancing, and living a life-centric lifestyle. People are choosing life over work, they are choosing family time over career time, and they are choosing to live a life that is full of joy and purpose.

I am full of positivity as I start this year hoping to connect with alternate lifestyles and stories that will help me learn more about this life. I am also looking forward to continuing my journey as an alternate learner while inspiring others to take the leap and live a life they love.

My son is leading by example, showing us just how rewarding it can be to break away from traditional paths and find our own way. I'm so proud of him and all the other brave souls out there who are pushing boundaries and following their dreams.

To me, it's no longer just about work-life balance; it's about life-centric work. It's about creating a lifestyle that is full of joy, freedom, and purpose. So let's make it happen! Let's embrace the future and be open to new possibilities.

Life is too short to do anything else. Let's make sure that we live the life we have always dreamed of!

Happy New Year!!
