Work and Failure

It has been 2 weeks now since I quit my job, though all external scenarios suggest it was a bad decision, my intuition says it will be one of those life-changing pivotal moments for me.

The difficult bit is unable to tell anyone in the family about my decision because after that all hell would break loose, the pressure from family would overpower my mind, which needs a lot of space currently to sort things out, to study, to ponder.

I have never believed in finding a job before quitting the current one, it somehow doesn't feel right.
If one is unhappy with his current job then what's the point continuing. It's a grave injustice to the unwilling/disliked work we do in the limbo and also to oneself for not being honest once gut feel.

A utopian society would be a society where food, home, medical, justice, education, travel is a fundamental right and society fulfills everyone's need for any of these. True discoveries in science and philosophy will happen there, art would be one of the streams that won't remain attached to the wealthy.

Hearing my 5 month old daughter laugh
I hear a silent inner voice, "you will not fail, you must not fail" 
and my fear subsides. I need to keep moving one step at a time ...
