We spend our whole lives working towards being successful and sometimes neglect our families and loved ones. Success is beautiful because it comes with being able to afford every earthly possession that we think will make us happy in life.
This is all great but we should also not be blind sighted by it. I am not by any means against success; I am simply saying it should not be at the expense of your happiness. Thing is we as human beings have so many questions about the point to life and being alive (and other religious and non-religious institutions know this, and will offer possible answers and capitalize on this).
Once we find something that we think could be an answer we latch on to it with dear life. Other people even spend their whole lives doing something’s they hate.
I do not have all the answers but I do believe in doing what love doing. Simply because if you do what you love, you will excel in it without putting too much effort into it or great hours, hence you will have time for your family and loved ones. And furthermore you will succeed.
I also believe success does not come knocking on your door. You go and get it! Everybody wants to succeed in life including myself, but let’s face it, we will not all succeed, which is why it is always good to have a contingency plan. A plan that will make you money aside from your daytime job, which you have degrees for. Other people invest, others open businesses. I already have mine but will not share it on this blog because it is mine and might be replicated.
It’s a matter of turning either something that interests you a great deal aside from your job, or a hobby and turning it into a viable business.
