You are meant to have what you want
I had a major epiphany today (well several, over the past few days, but this one answered one of my longest-standing riddles).
You are meant to have what you want. That is how the world works.
There are a gazillion ways to make a living that don’t involve working 9-5, being on a contract, signing your life or your time away.
All of those ways could lead eventually to exponential earnings, because money loves money and attracts more money.
So whatever path you choose, eventually you will find yourself with more money than you know what to do with.
At that point, comes the unavoidable question of: what will you do with your life?
If you could live a life of total freedom, what would give it purpose beyond work and earning money?
It is the fact that we find answering this question so hard, that makes choosing the 9-5 seem easier. Makes signing the contract easier.
That’s why this is the first and only question that matters. What will you do? With all your time, with your resources, with yourself? What matters?
Answer that truthfully, and your reality will start form itself around the answers. It can’t help it. Whether you answer it now or after you have unlimited time, money and energy makes no difference. You will have to answer it someday. If you can’t answer the question, then it’s a matter of luck, not only whether you’ll ever get the chance to live the answer, but what the answer will turn out to be - in short, what you’ll end up doing with your life.
Happy imaginings!
