We only live one life on this earth, as far as we know. When the real meaning of this truly sinks in, you start to understand the real value of every single day in your life.
You weren't put on this planet merely to serve your boss in order to put food on your table and a roof over your head; you are here to live your life to the fullest.
Those people who are truly happy and satisfied with their lives, build their careers around their lifestyles, not the other way around.
This is what we should teach our children, and teach them at an early age because doing this is much easier if you start from the beginning.
Every choice we make either moves us closer to living life as we want, or closer to living life as we have to because of our past choices.
But it is never too late to live life your way.
Unless your job is your passion, you are spending a certain amount of time each day working in order to live the remaining time that you have the way that you want.
The problem comes when working that job, for which you have no passion, sucks up all of your energy and passion for life, and you are just walking through life like a zombie on auto-pilot.
Choose your lifestyle and then decide how you will support your lifestyle.
If you live your passion and your passion is your job, then you will never have to work a day in your life.
Just remember, life is short; choose carefully how you spend your time.
Namaste
