Why I left College and Never Looked Back

Did I make a huge mistake?

This is what I wondered when all of my friends were heading back to school for the fall semester, and I wasn’t.

I’d had little faith in university education for a long time, but I never thought I’d act on it.

Yet here I was, watching everyone else return to school as I was gearing up to start this niche program, Praxis.

During the two-week window between when I would have returned to school and the Praxis opening seminar, I had to wrestle with my new reality.

What am I doing?

It was a crucial moment in the story arc of my life.

I had to face this. I had to beat it.

If I couldn’t beat it, who knows where I’d be today?

After deep internal contemplation and wrestling, I arrived at the opening seminar.

And everything changed.

I was hooked. Completely and utterly converted. Praxis wasn’t just some program, or alternate path. It was a new vehicle to prosperity.

It radically changed my life.

I did not make a huge mistake.

The real mistake would have been sticking with the mainstream, refusing to step outside the status quo, playing the game of life by the pre-set (but not mandatory) rules of engagement.

If you (or someone you know) are questioning the status quo, don’t dismiss it.

Ask the question. Relentlessly pursue the answer.

No matter where you land, at least you’ll be able to say you gave it the ole’ “college-try” 😉.
