Don’t confuse 9-5 work with purposeful work

Too many people here seem to have this dumb belief system where all they want to do is quit their jobs and vacation forever.

Too many people here seem to have this dumb belief system where all they want to do is quit their jobs and vacation forever. I understand the frustrations that come from these shitty low paying jobs and how all you desire at the moment is a break, but this just isn’t how to live a good life.

Everyone has work they actually would find quite meaningful, and at times even fun to do. This isn’t a hobby btw, because this work will still feel frustrating and at times you’ll just want to go and something else, but everyone has some work, some level of value they can give to the world, which will give their life more meaning.

But just take a step back and think; if money wasn’t an issue, would I really want to vacation forever? Or would I prefer having some purposeful work I could be doing for several hours everyday?

Once you find that work, why not start now? Plan and upload your first tutorial, create your first script, reach out to your first client, whatever. You can truly make lots of money if you put in the effort in this meaningful work, and eventually you’ll just keep doing it for fun
