The year 2026 is here try as much as you can not to be your own prisoner or a beast of borden.
Take any job that helps you pay your bills while you work toward your dream job.
There is no shame in honest work. No role is “beneath” you when it keeps food on your table, a roof over your head, and peace in your mind. Life doesn’t pause while you wait for the perfect opportunity, and dreams don’t survive on pride alone.
Too many people delay progress because they’re afraid of how it looks.
They reject temporary work, not because it’s wrong, but because it doesn’t fit the image they want others to see. But here’s the truth: struggling in silence to protect your ego costs more than taking a job that keeps you moving forward.
A job is not your identity. It’s a tool. A stepping stone. A bridge between where you are and where you want to be. Use it. Learn from it. Let it fund your growth, your skills, your plans, and your future.
Dream jobs are built, not waited for. While you’re paying your bills, you’re buying yourself time, stability, and freedom to keep searching, learning, and improving. That’s not settling, that’s strategy.
Do what you must today so you can do what you love tomorrow.....
Merry Christmas and a happy new year in advanced.
