What Do You Really Care About?
Reading Megan Holstein’s post yesterday about her embracing the fact that she isn’t working for money inspired me to write this one in response.
We all have beliefs. They shape our thoughts. And out thoughts shape our actions. Our actions, in turn, shape our lives. Hence, your beliefs shape everything.
For a long time I was pressured to be someone who I am not. I thought that my beliefs were wrong, because everyone around me either told me that or behaved a certain way that made you understand without words: you are not enough.
We all experience this in one way or another. We buy self-help books, create masterminds, search for articles online to understand what we need to do to become richer, more productive, less anxious, more appealing, simply – better.
For a long time, as a man, I was pressured by family, friend and society, to forget about my ideas and just go make money. Provide. Be responsible.
It was a long time before I embraced that there is nothing wrong with me. I am not spoiled, not stupid, but I just don’t care about money at all. I care about other things.
So maybe, you don’t need to become better? Maybe, you don’t need to fix yourself in someway?
Maybe, all you need is to embrace your weird self.
