Great post rico suave!
For years I puttered along doing dumb 'projects' thinking I was building something worthwhile.
It wasn't until I set a date, quit my job, and had a wife and kid to support at the same time did I get to work.
If only everyone knew...yes, you work hard to achieve your dreams...but after awhile, it doesn't feel like work anymore.
You love what you do, you wake up excited and bummed on a Saturday.
