I am contemplating on taking a long break from work for the following reasons

Have accomplished more then I had initially hoped for when I started my career. I have traveled and worked in more than half a dozen countries and getting a feeling that I have kind of seen it all in my life of profession. Have reached middle age and by God's grace my investments have come off really well. So there is a polite inner voice that keeps popping over asking me to take a long break to enjoy benefits of my hard work over many years.

Dragging my feet out of fear and reasons for fear to breakaway from job

Conscience keeps questioning if throwing away a good job smacks of some form of arrogance when more and more middle age people are loosing their job and not able to get another! Having mentored hundreds of youngsters by working with them, cannot continue to do that on-job training to positively impact lives of next generation. Have a feeling that if I break now, unlikely I will ever come back and the psychological fear of hitting an one way street!
