If you work for any employer that actually cares about you, convince them to keep you on their insurance and take a 6 month sabbatical. If they are not sympathetic to your situation, quit your job immediately since they have no regard for your well being. Try the bag and see how it goes. Make friends, travel, enjoy life. Do the things you always wanted to do. Then reassess in 6 months.

Looking at my own life the things that I feel blessed for, have nothing to do with work. After falling in love and starting a family, being rich and changing the world are no longer important. As long as I can provide for my family and raise my children in a way that would make me proud, nothing else matters.

Unplug and try the bag. There is much more to life than business success and $.
