@sammicucarese: Growing up, I thought success meant getting a “good” job OR graduating with a fancy degree. I remember being like 10 years old and all I wanted to be was an eye doctor because it was a GOOD job. Did I actually want that? Probably not. Nobody ever asked me… “What kind of life do you actually want?” Because if they had…I don’t think my answer would’ve been… “I want to ask for permission to take a vacation.” “I want to dread Sunday because Monday is coming.” “I want to count down the days until payday.” “I want to hope my car doesn’t break down because I can’t afford another bill.” “I want to check my bank account before saying yes to dinner.” “I want to spend more time at work than with the people I love.” & the list goes on. The crazy part is none of us dreamed about that as kids. We dreamed about freedom. We dreamed about peace. We dreamed about having time for the people we love. Somewhere along the way, we stopped chasing the life we wanted and started chasing the life we were told we were supposed to want. It took me a long time to realize…I wasn’t chasing money. I was chasing the feeling of never having to say, “I can’t afford it.” Or… “Maybe next year.” Or… “I have to work.” That’s what changed my life. Not because I wanted more stuff. Because I wanted more choices. Tell me I’m not the only one who feels this way. 💛 THEN I learned a skill that gave me another option. A skill I can take with me no matter where I live, where I work, or what life throws at me. And that’s something no job can ever take away. follow me & If you’re ready to learn the same skill that’s changed my life, comment or DM me “INFO” and I’ll point you in the right direction.
