The Path to M.R.D.A

I was in Star work for them first. And that was a huge pay cut but I thought this is the right thing to do so I want to do. And shall I make it work somehow to see what happens. What would your advice be to someone who is an aspiring student of knowledge and wants to go down this path? Because you've kind of cut your own trail here. Also I would love to hear because it must have been a brave move what you did. How that played out with your family and how that playing out with you psychologically and how did you get yourself over that hurdle as well.
