Live Life for a Living!

This is to be a, or let us preferably say the next step to jumping onto your dream bandwagon, a processual evolution to make yourself living in congruence with your soul, with your self, with your inner wealth – a stable entity. Do not read this as a finish product, adapt to the New York School mindset and see it as a process.

Let’s turn this process into progress. Go back to the first blog and read it again, find the two spelling mistakes, the Jachin and Boz of success, the two pillars of making dreams become reality: heart and preseverance. – Good job, thou shalt be rewarded for your savvy. Now we can move forward to the actual discourse:

Living life for a living!

What is your goal in life, what is your aim? What do you want to achieve? Did you ever ask yourself that questions? Well, you are a true person if you can honestly answer yourself that question, because it represents a blurry and distorted proposition. Be a true person, be honest to yourself, what is the point of lying to yourself, hoping you can cover something up? You will get caught, that much I can promise you. So be true and pick your goals wisely, with a pure heart, with great devotion, and it will grant you great opportunities. How can you make your dreams come true without knowing what your dreams really are, without knowing what you want to achieve? Be true, and pick up what is true.

Do not get distracted, do not get deflected, do not get dejected, be effective. There are many vague characters out there chasing wrong dreams, chasing their washy excuses of what they consider their dreams - people chasing something that they a) do not know anything about; b) do not really want; c) are probably not going to be happy with. These people are the ones that want to make a living, that spend their entire lives working hard on making a living, the ones that hustle every day for they want to make a living. They want to make a living so bad that they forget their own living. But what does it do to the ones that want to make a living, if they have no time left for living?

This life is definitely not about wealth, social status and position, respect and reputation. Of course, wealth, an eminent social status, a notable position, respect and a good reputation are definitely desirable conditions, but they are nothing without a heart – and that heart is longing for personal happiness, for inner satisfaction, for devotion. Who is richer, someone with a million Euros (and yes, I picked the Euro, because it implies a dominant monetary status as we have it in Europe, greenback=twentieth century; purpleback=the future) or someone with no economic wealth of any kind whatsoever, but being happy? If you have no true heart and no inner satisfaction, no happiness, then I can guarantee you, that no 9-digit-money-amounts will catapult you out of your desolation or dissatisfaction. Stop chasing the wrong dreams, get your heart straight…and live. There is nothing sadder than seeing people who work on making a living only, who work on it so much that they forget to live. There will be the day we leave this planet, can you then look back and say: wow, I had a great life, I had to struggle once in a while, but I lived every moment to the fullest…or will you be saying: oh my gosh, I spent all life working on making a living, I just forgot to live? Approval, admiration, respect? Do you really need that, when you sit there by yourself, look at the stars, and think about how you seized the day, how you lived this day, how you enjoyed every second, every breath, every heartbeat? Keep in mind three things:

1) memento mori

2) tempus fugit

3) carpe diem

…and live!!! And what shall you do when your stuck up “friends“ come and ask “so what do you do?“ Smile, and tell them:

 “I LIVE LIFE FOR A LIVING, you dumb rascal!“
