Dream More, Work Less

Dream More, Work Less:

I enjoy working. More specifically, I enjoy working inside my interests, anything that drives me toward a vision outside sitting behind a desk, fingers on keys for eight hours a day.In my mind I assemble new ways to do things; creating, crafting, improving, and collaborating. Until recently I was hung up on where to put that effort, managerial day-job or elsewhere?

I want to be free to make my own decisions. I like the security of a corporate job, the health and financial benefits, but it IS a business. They’re in the market to make money. If that means cutting jobs and salary, that’s part of the equation.

I want to do something that I’m responsible for; something I’ve poured my heart and soul into. As it happens, I don’t think my current day-job is that “something” which will help build those dreams…

I like this post. For me personal finance is a subset of life. Like health and education, personal finance, can hamper or provide options to your life. You need to keep track of your finances and manage them but that is in order to provide yourself options to live the life you want. Don’t forget to decide what you want out of life. Then see how you can help make that happen based on finances or what steps you need to take to live your dreams in the future.

    – unrewarding work
