Epiphany - inspired to sell

The other night I woke up at two in the morning with a message in my head - Sell your house. The house this message was referring to was the house I lived in before I moved in with J and her mom. I still own this house; I had it rented out to a couple of really good tenants.

These tenants were just over a year through a two year lease. Unfortunately they encountered some financial difficulties and could no longer afford to stay there. I sadly agreed to let them out of the lease, and I listed my house with a rental agent.

I have owed this house for almost nine years and lived in it for almost eight of those years. It was the first house I bought, and I admit to having a emotional attachment to this house.

This voice from within was telling me Sell it. I replied that I didn't want to give up this house, but the voice gently repeated, Consider selling it.

I have learned through my life experiences to pay attention to such messages from within. I started thinking about what would happen if I sold the house, and saw that there were a number of reasons why this idea made sense. I also have a strong intuition that this undertaking will be an important and strategic step towards reaching financial independence, though I don't know exactly how that will happen.

Although losing my tenants is unfortunate, perhaps there is a greater good that will come out of this.
