Yves,
I would suggest you start with the following :
1) inventory who you are
2) determine for yourself what life means and what is important to you
2.1) determine what you stand for and what principles are worth your
standing up for
2.2) determine what the terms "value" and "precious" and "enough" mean to
you
3) detemine if life is important to you, and if so, on what terms
4) realize that if you are like most of the rest of us, the physical
essentials of life involve secure sources of breathable air, clean water,
nutritious food, shelter from the elements, etc...
5) begin by researching how many of those items are 'secure' for you now,
where you are, [i.e., if they were suddenly disrupted, how would that
affect your life? - how vulnerable are you?]; and if they are not, what you
can do about them becoming so
6) now is the time; some believe there may be barely enough time for one to
get his act together before things being to unravel or implode i.e.
2003-2007
7) obviously, being with someone you trust and care for deeply might help
8) only you can determine whether your life is worth cashing out your
investments and doing something so contrary to what your family and friends
would have you do - but in the end, it is, after all, your own life; for the
moment, at least, you are sovereign; you can make these decisions...
holler if I can be of further help
