Stacking shelves is something that has appealed to me in the past. Why waste time at the gym lifting the heavy things when you lift many light things and get paid for it? (And probably burn the same, if not more calories?)
Of course, there are higher value activities that could be completed in lieu of stacking shelves.
I'm starting to take the stance that I don't like spending money on things unless it saves me time to allow me to do more of the things that I enjoy.
Lol, this hadn't even occurred to me! :D
Paid to workout, working out to invest.
Of course, it is also going to depend on skillset. The guy I was talking to would be able to earn a fair bit more with the skills he has, with not much work.
For sure. I think I am not there yet, but trying to get there. Still have to do some work I don't enjoy as much as other work I would enjoy more, but doesn't pay as much. Not too long still ahead though!
I know this feeling well. The important thing is to not work to live, but live to work, or is it something about that old phrase that says "Do something you love and you'll never work a day in your life?"
That could be problematic as when people often ask what I want, the true introvert within me wants to respond "To be left alone and not asked this question". :D
I want to do something I love, but I am of the position that in doing so, ,it will mean working for it whenever possible. It becomes a passion, doesn't it? It is the most important work we might do in our lives - salary or not.
It's more of an addiction. Those who are truly creative get addicted to seeing what they can generate and, for me, at least; the act of creation is that of introspection, and of learning about myself. Constantly whittling away against that inner monologue and the societal conditioning of "should do this..." to say "no, instead; this is what shall be done".
The addiction of it is how I see it too. It is no wonder that there is so much risk in following your passion ;)
At least there's more romanticism in:
Over
For some, it is both of those combined.
