Today in
society we have a problem that while in was an issue in the past never reached
the scope that it has achieved today.
The balance
of what makes you happy and what pays the rent…
When we are
in school we are told to think about what our talents and abilities are. Once
one knows what you are good at look inside yourself and find out what makes you
happy. The idea is to strike a balance between these two, what you are good at
and what gives you a sense of accomplishment.
This seems
perfect. The problem many of us don’t realise at the time is that what we are
good at and what we love doing is not always something that people will pay you
to do. This has lead a society where young people are stuck doing frustrating
jobs to put food on the table while trying to find the time after and before
work to do the things they love.
In many
cases this has lead to people saving up and starting small independent
businesses, while this might not be the answer for all of those out there who
struggle with this problem for some it have brought relief.
For people
like me who have a love of the written word but who do not have the time to
develop their skills in writing the internet and blogs offer a release and a
way of getting creative as well as criticism on what we write without having to
pay through our ears for it…
If this
trend continues it is possible that in parts of society we will have numerous
small endeavours; be they businesses, blogs, art exhibitions, arts and craft
markets, cooking classes or people doing more DIY around the home in order to
get satisfaction, relief from the dreary day to day drudge work so many of us
are subjected to.
We live in
a time of hope and a time of creative solutions; do not be afraid to find a
creative way to express yourself and to share your heart with others. For
without these releases many of us would never know happiness.
