It's easy to sit at work, with nothing to do, or just busy work, and think of all the better things you could be doing. And then, when given the chance to not be at work and to do better things with time, I tend to do nothing at all.
I have dreams. This job, this thing I do Monday thru Friday, 7am to 4pm, I do as a means to an end. I long to live a different life. Where I wake up every morning and I'm excited to go to work, because the work I do would be what I love. (Isn't this everyones dream?)
I dream of owning a shop. Nothing big, nothing fancy, but it's a place of peace and there you can find the things that make you smile and feel good about who you are, deep down inside.
I don't expect to become rich from this idea. Just enough to get by. To be happy. So I think that maybe I'll stick out this desk job until I have enough in retirement that even if the store didn't make much of a profit, as long as it broke even I'd still be able to keep it. The trick would be to keep myself from spending money now on things I don't really need.
I'm Irish. I have a Celtic Heritage that runs deep in my veins. These desires I have are strong. Deep and true. Now, to find that balance between providing for what is needed today and working towards what is wanted tomorrow.
This can be done. It brings such joy and light to my heart and soul to just think about it. The doing will be difficult.
Oh but it will be worth it.
