What Would I Still Do Even If I Never Made Any Money Doing It?

There are a multitude of things we do because we have to, or we do because we love to. Rarely we see the two of them combined though. It is almost a dream or mirage for so many people to work in a field they very much adore to the point of self-immolation. It’s ludicrous to me that we are all born against our will, yes, each and everyone of us is here against their will, and we are told to just deal with it when we grow up, if you happen to even be given the time to grow up that is. There’s a plethora of children and young humans that are not born under the privileged 1st world, and learn the heavy & hefty weight of the world on their shoulders before they can even comprehend why they are here and how things ought to be. Leave alone understanding deeper discourses like psychology, self-fulfillment, efficiency, and/or a life mission. When you are overwhelmed by this unfair and untried worldly system, all you seek and aspire toward is the zenith of relief, peace and harmony, not some frappuccino sipping contemplations that some people indulge into for lack of a better activity or lack of a sense of urgency/emergency.

The good news however, is that poverty has been decreasing year after year, and many of us can now focus on asking ourselves those deeper questions with greater aplomb. What I have noticed looking around my city of Los Angeles, is that the more comfortable our lives become, actually the more dejected we, by proxy, have increasingly become. The contrarian view that assumed we will have our happy ever afters once most of our everyday problems and transactions are taken care of for us, has officially been debunked. This is deeply confounding and perplexing to me or to anyone’s common sense. Until I had a wondrous epiphany on why this happens. Us, as humans, cannot live without challenges. We would just cease to exist otherwise. Our burning passions and even daily issues are what keep us alive, what keep us going. Whereas problems rarely could be avoided, and are a “de facto” always there to bust the show at all times, we can choose to make our work life our passion. The purpose and intention of this article is to help anyone spot their own passions, especially now that we live in this noisy world with so many distractions and social pressure to conform. It is easy to get lost. A general way for one to find their soul cravings has always been (under my observation) to be asking many and then some, insightful questions about what drives you. So, what would you still do if you hadn’t made any money out of it? Now, I completely understand that nothing comes before survival and feeding your table, because nobody can be expected to perform optimally at their best if they are concentrated on getting by, but, we can use this question on a metaphorical hypothetical sense, since its inception and main core purpose is for you to find out what you most like doing before it turns out to be lucrative and profitable.

To give out a personal example, I understood that what really drives me forward and propels me to do on this earthly plane, is using my skills and intellect to better serve humanity on a large scale. I do have a burning desire to alleviate this mass confusion and hysteria we all either voluntarily engage in, or we are thrown into it by force majeure and thus, involuntary inertia. Obviously there is no certitude to how brusque or superlative the outcome of my personal mission will be, but I for sure know that this is the only thing that wakes me up in the morning or keeps me up at night. Remunerating on what could be better and what I can do best to efficiently serve humanity, innovate, and take us all to the next level. How can we all benefit from what I can offer, and how can I best understand all latent needs society deals with/has ubiquitously but never speaks of it. So, to conclude, what would you be able to deduce out of the title of this article for your own unique personal mission?
