Last week whilst chatting to a couple of my mastermind buddies, we got to discussing having a "real job"... nothing wrong with that if that's what puts food on your table whilst you grow.
But what we couldn't work out frankly - is... where the FUCK do you find the time to do everything if you're working out of the home 4/5 days a week AND wanting to grow your own business?
It's almost like a trap - you need to get the J.O.B. to pay the bills so that you can grow... but because you're doing the J.O.B. you're stuck for spare time.
We wondered how we'd find the energy to give 100% at work AND in our business.
And we came to the realisation that most people are just insanely fucking boring.
They go to work. They come home. Eat something potentially resembling food. Watch TV. Go to bed. Wake up. Repeat.
For DECADES on end! Without ever stopping to ask if this is what they WANT. Subdued by the promise of a few days off at Christmas when they can eat and drink themselves into oblivion and fighting over pool chairs with Germans at another Spanish resort in the summer...
Zzzzzzzz!
TV is a WASTE OF TIME - and whilst we all need to "waste some time" from time to time - and there's really nothing quite like sinking on to the couch with a bowl of cheetos balanced on your naked midriff (!) as you indulge in a little binge-watching - what's worse is that it's SOMEONE ELSE'S REALITY!
Someone else's idea of a life, an idea, a story, education - and you're just a spectator - wasting your hours in front of the TV with NOTHING to show at the end of it... except perhaps recalling a few seconds of a storyline or drama.
We are BLESSED with actually y'know... being fucking alive - yet we're surrounded by a bunch of zombies living their lives through HDTV and a remote control on the arm of the couch...
And it makes me despair - because I can rarely even concentrate on a show because my mind is going at a million to one with ideas all. the. damned. time - my brain is so busy - and I fucking LOVE it!
Imagine having to look OUTSIDE of yourself for entertainment? Not knowing how to live your life unless it's served up in 15 minute chunks interspersed with mind-numbing adverts and then after the ads... a "2 minute recap of what happened 4 fucking minutes ago for all of you sat there with the brain capacity of a fucking goldfish"...
NUMBING.
Or you can choose to be a lot more discerning with your time and actually CREATE something. ANYTHING. Write your goddamn book. Design a board game. Paint. Walk. Run. Drive. Fucking ANYTHING except sitting in front of that soul-destroying, mind-numbing, prozac-ial (it's a word right! ) electric tube of plebeian drudgery!
Die or die not.
