How do you want to spend your life?

Your day consists of:

  • 8 hours of sleep
  • Minimum 8 hours of work
  • 8 hours for rest of life 

Out of the 24 hours in a day, work takes up at least a third. And if you look at just your waking hours, half your day is spent working. Simply put, work takes up 33% of your life, and 50% of your conscious, awake life. If such is its magnitude, should it not be something which gives you joy? 

Unfortunately, most people aren’t enjoying it but are doing their job to help them pay bills and leave enough to splurge on weekends or take a couple of luxurious vacations in a year- essentially compensating everyday fulfillment through intermittent dopamine surges.

If this is not a great way to live, 

  • be on a quest to find something which you enjoy doing (in most parts)
  • be patient with time and don’t give up- it took me just 14 years

Once you figure out what it is, take deliberate steps which can take you closer to your goal- can’t be a full time author at this point? Start a blog or write on LinkedIn

Don’t accept your current life as your fate; you can change it, slowly but surely.
