Hello, Steemit!

My name is Rachel Maia, I am a Brazilian Psychologist and I am very excited to be part of Steemit!

For the past two years I've been making few changes in my personal life and I would like to share with you, as I am aware that there is a huge number of people, of all ages, who are always seeking to find out themselves.

I have worked for a long time in Brazil in the Human Resources field and I have met so many people risking retries to find a better life, or simply to get rid of what they had won, but proved insufficient to generate the happiness they expected.

Due to these experiences, I found myself in the same situation and I began to wonder: Is there a right time to leave it all behind and face a totally unknown world?
Giving up a promising career, but that does not make you happy, a relationship that has ceased to be what you expected and throw it all away?

The answer is YES.
I currently live in Vancouver, Canada and this change happened because of my motivation to seek new things, self-knowledge and freedom. That was not an easy decision at all! I love my family, friends and my wonderful dog called “Pequena”, and missing them still hurts me day by day.

I am always looking for challenges, but for safety as well, and that’s really hard to balance. I hope people find ambition to give up a miserable life in order to enjoy the best things life can offer.
Change always scares us all, but it is available for everyone to give it a try. All you need is courage and a very good planning. Never risk everything you gained with your hard work for excitement.

I wish you all find exactly what makes you happy and fulfilled. Life is too short, never forget about it! We must seek the path of happiness, and perhaps the end of the route is not going to be what we have imagined, but remember: the path itself will be worth it.
