A lot of people are afraid to branch off without a support waiting for them. I understand the feeling but you have to be willing to take the first step and see where it leads. Even if you fail you will have grown and therefore succeeded.

You know, your comment came in the right time for me. Specially when you say

I'm at this moment fighting a self resistance as to live in a sailboat or not. I'm usually quite confident in my decisions, but when it envolves selling some of my belongs to fulfil what I want I kinda block myself. Guess I should just go for it.

I'll leave a quote by my favourite brazilian writer and sailor

"A man needs to travel. By his own means, not by stories, images, books or TV. By his own, with his eyes and feet, to understand what he is. To some day plant his own trees and give them some value. To know the cold to enjoy the heat. To feel the distance and lack of shelter to be well under his own ceiling. A man needs to travel to places he doesn't know to break this arrogance that makes us see the world as we imagine it, and not simply as it is or may be. That makes us teachers and doctors of what we have never seen, when we should just be learners, and simply go see it." - Amyr Klink
