I took the easy route

I’m going through a period of self-exploration right now. Those of you who actually read this blog and have talked to me recently might know that I’m working at a job pushing furniture around. The money’s pretty good, but I really dislike the job. I’m frustrated because I feel stuck for some reason.

I’ve just realized I took the easy route out. Instead of seeking the harder path of purpose and courage, I chose the easy one of trading time for money.

Another thing I’m realizing is that I have a belief that money = personal sacrifice. I have trouble taking money for something I feel comes easily to me (computers nad a/v equip and just technical stuff) even though society values those a lot higher than labour. This belief is partially what got me into this job and I dislike that. I want to let go of this belief and replace it with something more constructive, although I dunno what that is yet. I had been thinking I might replace it with the idea that its what value society places on my output, but I’m starting to rethink that. There may be the question of intrinsic worth or something that might come up. Dunno yet. I trust it will all work out for the best.

I’ve also been reading 4-Hour Workweek. I really enjoy this book. More info (and a half hour lecture recording) here. Still need to find the courage and to change my beliefs to allow myslef to do this.

Temporary Hiatus

I’m putting this blog on hold while I try to figure out the true purpose of this blog. Originally, my purpose had been to contribute original content, but I’ve been thinking lately about how that’s very hard to do in a post-modern world. Allz I can do is combine existing things in a new and hopefully insightful way and that requires work, too. Perhaps more work than I’m willing to put in. I don’t know.

I’ll prolly do some journaling about this and get backz to youz. In the meanwhile, have fun!
