A career is not the dream, it’s a means to an end. What I do is not as important as who I do it with and how much money I make is secondary to why I’m making it this way. That’s where I am now and I’m learning to embrace the struggle. The first step is to understand that passion and income are not always correlated. That’s why they call it a day job - cuz the passion typically comes at night. I used to think this was immensely sad and I still do, but I’m starting to accept it. Greatness comes from limitations, not freedom. It’s the conflict and challenge of restrictions that spurs innovation and originality. The key is to live without fear. Fear of failure, fear of change and fear of judgment - the hulking barriers to living life. Don’t be so damned scared.
