I know, I know, it's supposed to be the midlife crisis, but you know that our generation hates to wait. For most of us, this sad realization sets in much sooner. It might be 25, it might be 30, it might be 60, but we all hit it.
We are raised on optimism. Optimism that hope, hard work, and ambition can take us anywhere we want to go. For me, it was the Boston Celtics, running the fast break with Larry Bird and winning games with last second three pointers. As it turns out, the court was traded for the cubicle and Larry Bird was replaced with the multi-purpose printer. When we reach this fork in the road, we have two choices. Read on and we will discuss them both.
First, we can take the path more commonly traveled. Buy a sports car (probably a cheap one because it's only a quarter life crisis!), settle into that cube, and give up on those dreams. Unfortunately, because this is the easy way, it tends to swallow most people.
But not those seeking the Upward Lifestyle....
Instead, WE take the narrow and difficult path. We pass on that cheap sports car now, knowing that with some dedication and hard work, we can opt for the Ferrari later. We use that cube as motivation to pursue our dreams. Look at that list of paths: blogging, flipping, inventing, or scalping. The true beauty of all of these paths is that THEY CAN BE STARTED IN YOUR SPARE TIME!
So stop reading this article, start looking through the paths on the right, buy a book or two that discuss your path and then
GET TO WORK!
Good Luck!
