Before you get all bent out of shape from the headline, let me point out that I do not deny the validity of reasons to getting a job. Heavens no, so relax. There are good reasons to working for an establishment and earning a paycheck. I have had plenty of jobs and at least one really cushy job and one day, I may write about The Worst and Best Jobs I Ever Had, and we can swap fun stories over comments and coffee.
But that's not the agenda for today. Today is about inspiring you by exploring the hidden side of getting a job so much that you begin to believe in the power of your own dreams. What if there is another way to live life, and what if getting a job hinders us from living that way? And what if this other way is not a dreamy, pie-in-the-sky, reserved-for-lucky-few, kinda thing, and what if you – yes, YOU – had a real shot at it?
If this were true, would you do it?
And if others can do it every single day, then why exactly can't you do it?
21. You put your dreams aside and accept that life consists of having a job and being a part of the rat race.
This post was originally inspired by a great old post from Steve Pavlina on why you shouldn't get a job, infused with my own motivation to help you leave your job and create your dream life. I waited a long time to take action. How long are you waiting? Share your thoughts and feel free to disagree, and let's take the conversation down to the comments!
