Great post, and a topic that I'm very passionate about as well.
99% of the population live inside a system where you go to school, work, pay your bills, and die - and they don't even see this as a bad thing. It's simply normal. That's just how the system works: everybody plays along, people are happy if they have a roof over their heads and can take a few days off from their crappy job that they hate.
They are basically miserable Monday - Friday, and only live for the weekends.
But they just stick with it because ... we'll, they see no other option.
Going out and pursuing their dreams ?! That would be way too risky!
I have never been employed a day in my life, I always knew that I wanted something different. I am my own boss. I don't have weekends, when the weather is sunny I don't go out, And my work doesn't end at 6 pm.
But instead, I can travel whenever I want and work from anywhere in the world.
"Create a life you don't need a vacation from" is a very relevant quote In this context.
Why would you suffer 5 days a week and then do nothing productive the other 2 days, when instead you could be working towards your OWN dreams 7 days a week, and then later when you have achieved your goal you can enjoy 7 full days each week!
I agree a 100%!
I wouldn't have it any other way either. Work on my own dream each day, instead of suffering to escape from a job in the weekend.
It's that search for safety man, it terrifies a lot of people.
I'm glad you're on control of your own life and enjoying it!
Wow! Both of you comment are very inspiring. I enjoy that article. It's fun to see those "out of the norm" articles being respected. On reddit they're might be a plethora of troll commenting semi mindlessly. Steem is very different.
@sirwinchester I particularly enjoy that part of your comment and how its irony make the truth stands out.
Both of your comments are truly inspiring.
