Dream For More

Lets look at the facts. Bill Cosby shined shoes. Beyonce swept up hair. Andrew Johnson was a tailor. Michael Dell washed dishes. Orlando bloom was a pigeon trapper. Hugh Jackman was a clown, but look who’s laughing now.

We all have those jobs that make us want to be more. Put your hand up if you work a 9 to 5, Or any position that takes up all your time. See there’s nothing wrong with making an honest living. Here’s the thing; let’s be honest are you honestly living? That’s the thing about jobs, yes, that’s a J-O-B. Meaning Just Over Broke every single month. Living life just for the weekend. Most in a career do it cause it’s satisfactory, but for a job you do it for the salary. Those in that latter category are stuck in a rat race, which leads you in a cycle of disconnection. If you’re among the “lucky” few to win the rat race, again the jokes on you, because you’re still just a rat.

There’s nothing wrong with having a job temporarily, but pursue a career eventually. The holidays past, and the question now is, are you happy with an extra week off, and a raise in salary?  Let’s look at the facts. The industrial revolution was beneficial to technology, which was used by people and their families, for just a ridiculous salary. This shaped peoples’ mentalities, which felt composed for centuries working for someone else exponentially.

We all wish we had an uncle named Steve, and that the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. But really we all wanted the creativity to make one of Steve’s jobs. I understand more than anyone the importance of paying the bills and making a surviving. Which is where the problem lies, surviving is not living. I hope you’re aware of the difference. It’s like when you hear but don’t listen. Heed advice with action, the way knowledge with application is wisdom. Make a mark on that distinction. I once heard that, “ to grow trees pray for rain, but don’t neglect to water your seeds.”

These jobs are our safe nets, the condom the system uses, but none of our jobs would be here if every system practiced safe sex. Confucius once said,” choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.”
