I love this article,
however, also replying to Tad Chef’s comment above,
the only ‘irking’ question I kept having is: if ALL of us don’t want to work in jobs of “obeying orders” (ie: perhaps like a staff, or secretary jobs in office/corporations, or a laborers, or assembly-workers in factory, assembling cars for US to buy & use! etc), then WHO would do it??
Plus,
how would the economy run, if ALL those “menial, boring YET also important jobs” such as secretary, clerk, etc all choose to want to become a singer, or musician, or blogging?..
how would the cars get produced if ALL hundreds, and even thousands of those “menial, boring, or perhaps ‘meaningless” assembly-workers, after reading this blog, suddenly choose to abandon their jobs, and choose to just blog at home, or become a dancer, or philosopher, etc?..

Everything would become a total disorder, isn’t it?

And let’s not to forget about the multitudes of people in the Third-world countries too, which is probably two-third of this world!, who often don’t have the ‘luxury’ of CHOICES or OPTIONS to “be themselves and do what they really want/love”.
Yes, it’s really a Harsh Reality.
But I, for one, believe in the humanity is always constantly evolving.
So, we can actually choose (& hopefully get inspired & motivated) to HELP those Third-world countries,
so they can grow, develop, and hence, its people would have the ‘luxury’ to CHOOSE to be/do what they want (or dream) of, because of plenty of opportunities for them, instead of NO opportunity/chance at all !

Excellent post Jon!

I can personally attest to many of the points made in your post, as well as to James’ comments. I have had drastic differences in income throughout my life and made (and continue to make) the difficult decisions between what we have been ingrained with what “work” should be (according to our society or our upbringing) and what we “do with our moments each and every day” according to our hearts. Lemme tell ya that the heart will always win and will always defy the absolute “logic” that we are bombarded with as to why we should do this or that “for money”.

To take it a step further, in my experience on this path and in conjunction with my seemingly never-ending thirst for learning new things/topics, what I have found is that if you let them, (read those last few words again) all of the different things that you are interested in can/should/will dovetail nicely together and build on top of each other.

Even topics/areas that appear completely unrelated could give you the inspiration for the next step. It eventually becomes like a well-oiled machine in your mind, all smoothly rolling over itself and “feeding” different parts (ideas) to get you to the next level. The fun involved in that, then becomes so natural that the word “work” does actually morph into something else altogether.

For me, this is the crescendo of “moving closer” that you speak of… the fine tuning of the instrument or the focusing of the lens. It IS a process and an ongoing, wonderful dance.

As always, keep up the good work! Looking forward to the “re-launch”!

Good article. I think so many people do not really understand what they even mean when they say they want to “do something I love.” Defining what you mean is an important step to determining what you should be doing.

I have no website as of yet. I’m what one would call an old newbie at this. I do work in a field that I love? but there is much hardship in it because of the many (cut-throats) or competitive people that are in it usurping a place or position that belongs to someone else or monopolizing as in the Latin Radio Scene. I love working in my music?, it’s a billion dollar industry or more? but there are people that don’t belong in it not allowing me and other of my brother musicians to live correctly or comfortably or pass on not in Poverty. Something has to be done. I definitely want to work at what I love, without having to do something else that gives me the threat of some anal supervisor or boss or type A personality that bullies other people at a job etc…
