What if we could make money for doing things we do for fun? Like my personal examples would be cracking jokes no one else seems to enjoy, reading books most my friends will never read, and listening to music until it gets too popular.
But I can't seem to find a way to market that into a serious moneymaking venture. But say I could somehow make money off the things I love. How would I not allow it to become trite? How could I keep it fresh every day? How could I keep the authentic realness and the innocence of it intact?
These aren't just questions I am having about if I could make money on things I do for fun. These are questions I have for pretty much all aspects of my life.
How can I serve my family and not get burned out?
How can I go to work every day with a positive attitude even on days I really don't feel like being there?
How can I love my wife in a new and fresh way everyday?
All of these things seem like they should be pretty easy to do. But keeping my chin up and a smile on my face has never been an easy thing for me. I say I'm a realist but err on side of negative. I can't just fake it until I make it. I want these things to come easy. I want these things to be fresh, I want these feelings to be authentic.
In all the books I have read, and all the time I have tried to process this I still have not come across an easy solution. Maybe there isn't supposed to be an Easy way. Maybe this is just a fact of life. Maybe without the bad days of going through the motions you can't fully appreciate the good days where it just flows out like a spring.
