Just about every book that I’ve come across talks about doing what inspires you. You’ve got to love it, blah blah blah– because then you can do it long enough to succeed.
Personally, I was never motivated by love so why would that change when it comes to career?
My purpose isn’t spiritual. It’s materialistic BUT this is far more real to me than anything I’ve tried to love.
I don’t know about love, but nothing lights me up more than dependence. I PASSIONATELY CAN’T STAND IT!
So my “why” has become a semi anti-social one, but as authentic as possible. I refuse to be in situations where others decision making impacts me.
I’m after true independence. Independence from the economy, from inconveniences, from friends and family, from it all… this is freedom. I exist for FREEDOM.
For the first time in my life, I’m not trying to convince myself. See, that’s the problem with the human animal. We’re thinking beings– overthinking, convincing ourselves of what we *should love and what we *could do.
Wisdom comes from realizing what type of animal you are, and EMBRACING IT. Instead, we need to make the most of what we are– not pretend to be something we’re not.
I’m not in love with creation, art, and all the beautiful things the world has to offer. You can call me cynical and nihilistic, but to be completely honest— I am underimpressed.
I can’t believe it took me this long to realize, I guess I thought it had to be mystical which I’ll chop up to advertising.
Turns out, my problems and goals are all perfectly interconnected.
I’m after one thing and I’m passionate about solving for one problem– that is all. My advice for you?
Can’t find what you love? Maybe it’s in what you hate….
