Crystallization of Discontent

Back to that book I was reading, U-Turn.

It says that many people who make major life changes do so after a "crystallization of discontent". In other words, after years of feeling dissatisfied without knowing why, the person finally puts the pieces of the puzzle together. Afterwards, there is no other alternative but to change the way they are living. Some people change their religion, others change their politics, still others change their cultural viewpoint. & some people go on the road.

p104: "Be grateful for your disillusionment - it is a gift without which you might never have found the right path."

The first yard sale is set for July 26th.

A man in Glendale, AZ put everything he owns up on eBay.

He said he wants to simplify his life.

I don´t think a change is a crisis. Niether eliminating discontent in search for hapiness. I think the real crisis is to live your entire life without doing what you want. If you don´t live to do what makes you happy, then you´re not living, you´re just wasting time.
A real change requires courage. I think you got it. Congratulations.
