They say the odds of life itself are a few hundred trillion to one and we are miracles living in a miracle, surrounded by miracles. I’m troubled by the number of blind comments going off about how shitty this is or that is etc. and just don’t know what to make of it. I cant help but wonder what it look like if everyone channeled all that passion wasted hating ones job/current situation and actually chased their dreams. Not looking to go down the spiritual path here. I know we all have our own views on this but no matter how one looks at it, it’s tough to ignore the thought of... if this is all possible, why stop there? Why not just go for it? So, if you can just go for it (and you can) what would it be?
True and if not $, time. It’s this way of thinking that prevents us from ‘going for it.’ I’m not knocking, I catch myself doing this a lot that’s all. I want to do x and I will be able to once y happens. Subconsciously building in a safety net so if unsuccessful, well then there’s justification. My ego finds an out. You can build in these safety nets but they’re really more like a silent dream killer than anything else. I.e. as soon as I have all my ducks in a row, whatever that may be, the time, enough $, etc. then Im good to go. And sure, maybe that’s true in some cases but there’s a strategy involved on how to get there. I have this quick sand and it’s not pulling me under... it’s actually worse because you can end up living in that mindset and now I’m stuck. I’m not sinking but I’m not where I need to be so that becomes the new comfort zone because after all I am working towards my dream right. Anyway, this is what I see as so common. I want to go out on my own and launch my business beyond a side project here and there but I’ll forever be on a detour the more time passes by.
I want to be the best I can be and learn a lot. Always working on career.
I want to retire from work in my early 30's so I can spend 99% of my time how I please. With a nice sized 7 figure portfolio to generate my passive income
If money not matter I want to do robotics, but they pay crap though.
I want to remove the concept of money so that all wars end.
I want to use the power of the internet to connect people, thus making sure everyone feels happy, supported, and understood so that they can become even more productive members of society. I want to build out product(s) that can do this. I want to be the lead (without being an entrepreneur because fuck that).
My career goal is to build a company and make a shit ton of money. And use it to help people out there. To try to stop them dying from hunger. To empower them. To feed them. To educate them and allow them to have an accessible life just like us. This may sound like an easier said than done but I'll try really hard. It's an interesting problem to solve.
You'll spend all your time and mental faculty on the "shit ton of money" for yourself part and put off longer and longer helping somebody else. There's never enough money to be had. When you have some, you always want more. If you really want to help others, do it now and don't make excuses about "someday when I'm rich enough".
I don't agree with you. Once i have a million, i will start giving away
