I've talked about how it's good to dream big and have great goals. But it's only going to be a dream,wish or a fiction waiting to happen type if we only wish without working towards our wishes.
Yesterday I was with a friend whom I've known for quite sometime now. What he wish for is to be able to earn while he's asleep(quite fictional) but with him working a 9-5 and living hand to mouth with zero savings at the house end of the month, he's never going to make that happen.
Because he's not going to be able to strive for more when his time and energy for the whole day, month or whenever he quits is already being bought for pennies at another man's dream company.
It's not that's it's bad to work a job, but in my friends case he's one who wish to earn a living from his YouTube channel. But since the rate of inflation keeps increasing everyday he stopped posting on his page to focus on his 9-5 job in hope for a promotion for a pay raise.
Work is good
But you shouldn't let it affect your main goal
No work is bad, but there are some work that needs to be done even if it looks bad from the onset. The truth is that with the way things are in my country it's hard enough to survive with multiple streams of income not to talk of relying on just one.
While my friends wish was to be a YouTuber he is not working towards it thereby not trying to do something that would ever make his wish come true. I even tried telling him about Hive and all but he said he can't waste any of his time trying to vlog again as YouTube is time consuming already for him to start a afresh from scratch on another platform.
He sure gained a few thousands of subscribers but I bet he's not that monetized enough to pay his bills. Nevertheless, abandoning it isn't going to solve it anymore. I tried to tell him to drop videos once in a while so he's can find a way to keep working online and offline.
At this point it's easy to abandon all your dreams and wishes just to put food on the table. But that would mean they'll never be granted. Many people who made it today also were in the same situation. Sometimes I also feel like not posting on Hive too due to my offline work having most of my time but content creation is a way of life for me that I can't neglect the dream of making it big here for anything or anyone.
Thanks for reading my blog.
