MONEY Doesn't Fund Dreams

Shouldn't I make money first - to fund my dream? The notion that there's an order to your working life is an almost classic assumption: Pay your dues, and then tend to your dream. I expected to find numerous examples of the truth of this path. But I didn't find any

Sure, I found tons of rich guys who were now giving a lot away to charity or who had bought an island. I found plenty of people who had found something meaningful and original to do after making their money. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the garden-variety fantasy: Put your calling in a lockbox, go out and make a ton of money, and then come back to the lockbox to pick up your calling where you left it.

It turns out that having the financial independence to walk away rarely triggers people to do just that. The reality is, making money is such hard work that it changes you. It takes twice as long as anyone plans for. It requires more sacrifices than anyone expects. You become so emotionally invested in that world and psychologically adapted to it that you don't really want to ditch it.

The ruling assumption is that money is the shortest route to freedom. Absurdly, that strategy is cast as the practical approach. But in truth, the opposite is true. The shortest route to the good life involves building the confidence that you can live happily within your means It's scary to imagine living on less. But embracing your dreams is surprisingly liberating. Instilled with a sense of purpose, your spending habits naturally reorganize, because you discover that you need less.

This is an extremely threatening conclusion. It suggests that the vast majority of us aren't just putting our dreams on ice - we're killing.
The right question is, How can I find something that moves my heart, so that the inevitable crap storm is bearable?

Motivation

What’s the difference of never knowing at all? When every step I take is always too small.Maybe it’s just something I can’t admit but lately,I feel like I don’t give a shit.

Motivation such an aggravation,Accusations don’t know how to take them.Inspiration’s getting hard to fake it.Concentration’s never hard to brake it.Situation never what you want it to be.

What’s the point of never making mistakes? Self-indulgence is such a hard habit to brake.It’s all just a waste of time in the end.I don’t care so why should I even pretend.

Nothing’s new, everything’s the same.It keeps on dragging me down, it’s getting kind of lame.I’m falling further behind, there’s nothing to explain.No matter what you say nothing ’s gonna change my mind.

Can’t pretend on doubt until the end.It seems like leaving friends has becomeThis years trend and though I can’t pretend.It’s not the same but who’s to blame,For all those stupid things I never said

Motivation such an aggravation,Accusations don’t know how to take them.Inspiration’s getting hard to fake it.Concentration’s never hard to brake it.Situation never what you want it to be.
