Yup, I took the plunge and had my computer cleaned out over the weekend. I now have a new operating system and am in the process of downloading the files I got off the computer before it was cleaned. I think I should also give myself a new lease in life as well. That means that I have to stop dwelling on the negatives of not having permanent employment and see the opportunities to expand my horizons.
So, what now? Can I see myself living the kind of life that someone who works just for the contract and not for an actual company lives? What are the advantages to this kind of life?
1) I can keep my own hours. This is a good thing since I've gotten used to a pattern of work that has me with a flexible amount of hours. In other words, I could work in the morning, take the afternoon to do outside work and come back in the evening to do more work.
2) I connect with a wide variety of people from all walks of life. Some of their stories are amazing. I can listen to the stories elders tell us and imagine what it might have looked like to them.
3) I learn new skills that I haven't had before. Some of those skills I can use now.
4) I can fellowship with others in the same or similar situations. I can support them and they in turn can support me.
I know it's not easy for me to transition from a solid foundation to a liquid state of scrambling for work. I hate the feeling of never knowing what the next day will bring or if I'll ever find the position I need to make a living. Yet I know I must keep pressing on, learning more about this transition and hopefully get some great gains both spiritually and monetarily.
