The Simplest Thing

"Advice? I would say there is one basic idea that should be kept in mind in all the exchanges we make in life, whether of career or anything else. We should decide not in view of better pay, higher rank, 'getting ahead', but in view of becoming more real, entering more authentically into direct contact with life, living as a free and mature human person, able to give myself more to others, able to understand myself and the world better. I hope that these few notes may be of some use."

-Thomas Merton

I've spent the past two days trying to find a better way of saying an extremely simple sentence.

I quit my job on Monday.

More to come.
