RE: Half a mind to...

in LeoFinance3 years ago (edited)

True. My family is quite big. We argue a lot. Fight with each other a lot. It used to frustrate me. Sometimes imagined about running away from them. Never to come back.

Then I realized that a lot of people don't have anyone in this world to call family.

I was doing some renovation in my house few months back. The amount of money and time it consumes used to frustrate me(I am sure you know some of that😜). Sometimes, I thought it's better live on rent. No headache about constant renovation. You can just change places. Also, move to a new location.

Then, I realized that you don't get to see it as a home. A personal thing.
Also, during the last year, I have seen a fair share of people who cannot come up with rent.

Sometimes it saddens me that I don't earn enough. Or I am not doing something remarkable as I used to dream about during my teens. I have given up half a dozen safe income opportunities to pursue a better life. I question those decisions often.

Then, I get to try so many different things in my life. Most people I know, are stuck in a single income scenario, whether business or a job. They will be lost if they lose that income opportunity.

On the other hand, I can come up with 5-10 new ways I can earn more money. I have tried so many different things. And failing in one thing doesn't scare me much now.
Only thing that I get to decide is which one to pursue. Which one to spend my time in.

Life may be a constant struggle. There is no end to it. There are just ups and downs.

I reckon we are made to build a home of some sort and even though it might not be what it was before, we are still looking for a place to call our own.

It isn't bad to hold a normal job, as long as you keep pushing in some areas of your life. Sometimes, the stability allows for risk in other areas. Too many though, just end up settling at every turn.

This is really important for a good life in my opinion. Not only being able to find "food" but also be okay with failing at times too.
