Your Skills Are Worth More Than Just Passive Income
Everyone is special, and you should use your skills to do the things that benefit others because sometimes nobody can’t.
--
I know most of us who don’t have a nice job always dream to make a passive income or side hustle.
Since youtube are full of tutorials about making passive income, we are interested immediately.
Some people are passionate about having a passive income, but some of them just need the money, they don’t really care about what they do.
If that’s your passion and you love what you do, that’s good. However, if you just follow the trend without thinking critically, probably you will fail.
I know it’s okay to fail, but doing something only for money is mostly a trap, either financially or spiritually for your mental health.
“I thought we have to explore everything, so we know what’s fit for us”
Yes, but first, it is impossible to explore everything, and second, you aren’t interested in everything, right?
We are interested in some things, not everything. And your dream is actually your gift if you want to just go get it.
I believe we have different goals, and that’s not money, our main goal is always helping people with our job or business.
Maybe you want to be a policeman, doctor, farmer, or anything.
However, deep inside of your heart you just want to help people with what you are capable of. You want to fight crime as a policeman, heal people as a doctor, and provide food as a farmer.
People need you because you are special, you are one of a kind, you are the only one who can do some particular job in your society or community, and your speciality will work properly if you are using it to help others.
We still need money, of course. But most professionals always tell you to do what you love, what you are passionate about.
Money is a reward, and a tool to make you still survive to do what you love, and keep helping people.
Having a passive income is good, but your priority should be helping others.
I’m also interested in passive income, but the problem is, that sometimes passive income is a distraction.
When I’m focused on passive income, I was forgot about my main purpose, that’s the problem if we always look at the numbers, numbers in your bank account.
I do really want to help others, and this is what I can do right now, just write some self-reminder stories.
Of course I want to make money from my writing, but in the end, my money still goes to buy something to improve my writing.
Maybe buy a new laptop with a better keyboard, or a new desk to make me more comfortable in front of my computer, buy books to find a new perspective of life, travel to gain more knowledge and refresh my mind, something like that.
Most of my money will end up improving my writing, right?
That’s what will happen if you do what you love, money will follow, and the numbers in your bank account are just enough to do what you love.
If you want to follow your lust and desires, the numbers in your bank account should be unlimited.
