I believe competing in life is fighting for scraps. All the meat is gone and people fight over the bones. It’s tempting to join that struggle for scraps cause you see that’s what most people are doing and you think that you should be doing it also. But the smart people have long figured out that there’s rich natural sources of food, money, discovery, storytelling somewhere else and you’re not going to find it if you participate in the competition where everyone, people, businesses are fighting for the same resource, customer, location etc.

I’m exhausted waking up on someone else’s time and not getting what I think I’m worth. I’m writing this to acknowledge that I’m in an unhealthy lifestyle living paycheck to paycheck. Asking for a raise won’t help cause you’re still doing something that you don’t enjoy doing.

I need to focus on blogging and posting more content on all my platforms. Tripling down on what I’m good at and what I’m interested in. Just maybe, we’ll all be able to make a living through our interests and hobbies.
