Have you ever been chasing the flawed type of freedom all alongside?
There’s a line from Combat Membership that’s haunted me for years:
“The stuff you personal find yourself proudly owning you.”
Once I first heard this quote, I assumed it was merely a critique of consumerism — a warning about how our possessions can lure us. However after a decade of entrepreneurship and a life-altering well being disaster, I’ve found this knowledge applies much more profoundly to our relationship with work.
The Freedom Paradox
Most of us really feel shackled to our jobs, dreaming of the day we are able to lastly break away. We fantasise about quitting, producing passive revenue, and residing solely on our personal phrases.
I used to share this dream.
But after I first took the plunge into self-employment about ten years in the past, I stumbled upon a shocking reality: unbounded freedom can grow to be its personal jail.
With out construction, I floundered. With no schedule or accountability, I wasted valuable hours merely deciding what to work on. My productiveness oscillated wildly. Most troublingly, I wasn’t even having fun with this supposedly “superb” life-style.
