Reasons for Going Against The Flow

by Jarkko on February 26, 2009 · 3 comments

There are days when I think life would be so much easier if I just gave up on my most ambitious goals and gave up to the normal way of life. I could sleep longer in the morning, I would be less stressed out, and in the short term, I would have more free time.

Luckily, my dreams are strong enough — and so many — that I just can’t give up.

Naomi from IttyBiz makes says it perfectly in her post about changing the world:

As long as a person is dependent on somebody else to give them money in exchange for large amounts of time, energy and brain power, they can’t do much to change the world.

Eliminate the chain.

Do your thing.

Change the world.

I could quote the whole post here, but that’s just unethical, so go read the post on Naomi’s site to understand why I’m still trying to make money online.

And speaking of changing the world, check out this blog post at Insanely Interested, and comment on my latest dream.

It kills me being tied to a job that I don’t care about. We spend the majority of our waking hours on drudery. It’s dumb.

Keep it up. I was a bit spoiled as my father did what he loved. And so I expected that is how things work. It made sense to me as a kid. Now I have to do what my parents, teachers… force me to. When I am an adult I get to chose. I now realize it isn’t quite that easy. There are sacrifices that choices entail. But I believe you should pursue your dreams. Far too many people just act like they have no choices.
