RE: Lighting fires - dousing flames

in #thoughts6 years ago

Yeah, I think that you need to be somehow lucky to align your needs with your employer's. I have spent quite some time being employed or as a contractor and even though they take care of you well, you are still spending your time building someone else's dream. You see, this is not about money. You can be paid in gold but it still won't change the fact, the bitterness on your tongue. But dunno, perhaps and probably just me, others don't have issues selling their time easier :-)

The problem is, when I do something, I do it 100%, and then really, money is not enough to pay for the energy spent on the matter.

And yeah, that is the everlasting clash. You cannot be free without responsibility. You can only be truly free when you are totally responsible for your decisions and life. Scary, in a way :-)

This is what a lot of people don't understand with the very wealthy that keep working. They think it is because of greed for money without considering the other greater values they might hold.

Part of the fun of life, finding out how trapped we are ;)

Yeah, totally funny. I am kinda in the middle of processing the fact and finding how difficult it is to actually take the responsibility even when you want to I would say. Because really, environment is another limiting factor here, and personal fear of course.
