Stuck in the System of Money and Lies
Have you ever felt like you are being subconsciously pushed to following a system; pushed to follow a set of rules, as defined by the society around us? Do you ever feel like you are stuck in the game of money and lies? Why is it that success in today’s world is defined by how much money you make?
You have been taught to play by certain rules and, as a result, you feel trapped. Trapped for far too long that you accept this and this has become your comfort zone. It’s scary to contemplate escape. Scary to think about a life, without the so called ‘luxuries’ that money gives you. Are they truly ‘luxuries’ if the price you pay for them is your happiness. Think about it!
What if, for once you took a chance at escape?
I, personally, believe that you need to find the one thing that you love, the one thing that you are most passionate about, and go build a life around it. You are too worried about the uncertainties in your life that you miss out on the opportunity to cash in on your passion. Don’t let society define your success. You need to decide where you stand in your own personal definition of success.
If travelling around the world and writing about your travels is your passion, go do it and when you are able to do that 365 days a year for the rest of your life, nobody has the right to tell you that you are not successful.
“Define success on your own terms, achieve it by your own rules, and build a life you’re proud to live.” — Anne Sweeney
Eventually, when the time comes and you are on your Death Bed, the only things that are going to matter to you and eat you up from the inside are the opportunities that you didn’t take. The regret of WHAT IF…
What if you had quit the job that you hated…
What if you had walked up to that person…
What if you took more risks…
DID YOU DO ENOUGH?
