Flying out of a golden cage

An osho discourse remarked " Albeit that your cage maybe made of gold but once you have seen the open sky , its difficult to return to it" .
So quitting my job was easy. I hated it for the most part and was working only for the payslip. According to company policy, one had to take a 2 weeks mandatory off once a year. I used to travel out of country once a year and had been doing so for the past 5 years. This was my sixt year and this time I couldn't due to various reasons. But I had to exhaust the leaves. I took them. I came back and reached my saturation point. I quit. My manager tried retaining me telling good things about my performance at work so far and his personal bitter story of being unemployed for a while. He told me to think over my decision. I did , next day I submitted my resignation. This time no retention attempt.
I was already doing good on trading with a little help from particular sauce and had a vision of how I would scrape through the problem is I don't want to just scrape through I wanted
to live extravagant . Many would call this act of mine brother ballsy when I quit my stable income job for an unstable one which of the more freedom and to be one's own boss, many people I know would think how dare you when we slog from 9 to 6 he works a  few hours from home and earns more than us.
