Do what you love
I ran in to a video a few months ago and I just feel it's really apt for the changes I am busy making in my life. Whether it's because it's saying what we all want to hear or it actually makes sense is not definitive but it does seem to really speak to the soul.
Although the world has changed and continues to change rapidly I still see far too many people drawn in by the antiquated social norms of past generations i.e. get a stable job, get married before 30, have kids by 30, die, etc. It's certainly possible that these people are doing what they love or believe they are but will they still see things the same way in 10 or 20 years time?
It truly seems a forgone notion to believe that you should work and make sacrifices in the present so that one day you may buy the freedom that's available to you now. That doesn't mean not working it just means allowing yourself to take the necessary risks now to find your way so you can find a true passion that will sustain you for the rest of your life or at least lead you down a path of multiple such opportunities.
This video really speaks to the heart of that thinking and the role of the youth in reshaping the status quo and continuing to do so ad infinitum. But I'll let the video do the speaking, if you have 10 min of your life to spare it's well worth it, enjoy.
And if for some reason that didn't motivate you then maybe having this passionate/angry guy shout at you for a bit will help.
