Honestly I've been fired 6 times. And I'm thankful for each one for the same reason as the author. Grateful even. Life is huge - humongous even and you owe it to yourself to explore. The world is a very large place. You can succeed in very different ways as long as your provide value. In a lot of situations and places that bar of value is lower than what you are accustomed to. I've known Billionaire founders who know little about business or code, software engineers who made more money selling shoes online. W.r.t decisions: People seem to need these "Walls" that they need to run into to be forced to make a decision about their lives - layoffs, firings, family care issues, health issues etc. Don't fight it- go with the flow. Use those to do what you really want to do or at least to give it a brief try. A low cost of living is the only thing that really gives you a robust form of freedom.
