(go home and quit and simply return, plan a future camino to walk the entire thing, or head home and return to obligations with regret?

almostfamous73 said:Thank you all for your thoughts... I decided to resign my position, and feel I need to walk the entire pathway and learn about myself and pathway before I can go any further helping people in medicine and in my life. I leave at the end of August and set no timetable to reach the ocean (my goal)... Though reality will hit me in return with debt and bills, I do not want to feel an ounce of regret and I choose a life that forces me to work long hours and limited time off, however, I now choose to live life and find my harmony with each step........

Priscillian said:Hey "Almost"...! The word regret implies Guilt. There is no need or room for guilt on the Camino because we all do what we can. If we can't or don't want to do it (for whatever reason and these are intensely personal and all justified at the time) this time, hey...there will be the next. Or not. You will find somewhere else to do "it". Whatever that might mean. Anyway, if the place for "it" is the Camino, pues...;no te preoccupes (don't worry yourself): it has been here for a while...

If your life responsibility is currently for you alone, you do not have anyone else who really depends on you, then why not just give up the life you are so unhappy with? Just put it down like a heavy suitcase and walk away. Sometimes the only freedom we have, really have, is to just walk away and one of the things the Camino can do, if you do it in a no looking back in the NOW sort of way, is to reintroduce you to yourself, the real, joyful, laughing, loving, caring, helpful, light walking person we all really are.
For me it is always walk away - this is life, life! and the only true currency in this world is that life ticking away. If a car costs £25,000 and one earns £25,000 in a year and one buys that car, effectively one has sold one whole year of one's life to own that car - this is madness.
