“It sucks…”



Over the Holiday weekend, my wife and I went to visit my family.

It was a good time as usual,

But there was one thing I noticed that was rather alarming.

What I noticed was that many people in my family seemed to want to talk about how much their job sucks.

They weren’t even being negative.

Just tired.

Like they were fed-up with working a job that’s not incredibly stimulating.

I feel this is all too common in today’s world.

Finding a job typically ends-up turning into settling for whatever can be found,

(That was definitely my personal experience with the process, and I have indeed settled for a number of jobs in my past.)

And entrepreneurship still isn’t widely taught or encouraged.

It’s as if we as a society are creating generations of unhappy people who are forced to just settle for what they can get.

What people want isn’t normally a concern.

Perhaps they even accept the fact– they believe it to be anyway– that what they want doesn’t matter.

And the consequence of this is people are tired, fed-up, overly-anxious, depressed, and even in some cases, suicidal.

That’s just simply unacceptable!

We all DESERVE to live a life filled with happiness and enjoyment. 

A life that’s exciting and stimulating 

A life filled with great experiences.

People should want to get-up everyday and get to work.

But alas, that’s not often the case.

Visiting my family last weekend really made me aware of this tragedy of life.

Fortunately, I don’t believe anyone I know suffers from significant ailments due to settling for their jobs,

But I greatly empathize with those who do. 

Life shouldn’t suck in any regard– this isn’t to say life shouldn’t be hard because it should and it will be– but it should be enjoyably challenging.

And the unfortunate reality is that for many people, it just isn’t.

So what can be done to prevent this?

I believe the possible solution is far too complex to speculate on in a simple blog post.

However, I will leave you with a single piece of advice that is guaranteed to make sure you don’t feel burnt out in life:

NEVER “SETTLE” FOR ANYTHING!!!

Look Good, Feel Great!

  Look Good, Feel Great!: Looking good is a huge part of style, and it’s the most obvious part, in my opinion. Most of the time, people start dressing-up because they want to convey a message to those around them. But there’s a second, much more important aspect of style and personal image. That being how style makes a person FEEL When you look good, you feel great! And even more than that, your feelings will radiate out onto other people who will be drawn to you. Style to me has always been about feeling my best; in fact, style was a significant part of me overcoming my body image issues. I was never really one to seek compliments or enjoy flattery– even though that stuff obviously comes with looking your best– rather what mattered to me was how style literally changed the way I felt. I remember putting on my first suit and feeling the most empowered I have ever felt. Not only that, but I noticed pretty quickly how everywhere I went I was treated differently.  People started ...

  Art can be incredibly motivating and being around art can have an immensely empowering effect on us.  It’s a similar effect to one experienced while being surrounded by religious relics or statues– art can make us feel invigorated and influenced by something greater than ourselves. It’s almost like experiencing what John Keats called the Sublime in a more easily accessible way.  According to Romanticist writers like Keats, the Sublime is defined as a meeting of the subjective-internal and objective-external, and is the strongest emotion we as Humans can experience.  It typically requires us to put ourselves in awe-inspiring situations like seeing the sunrise from the peak of a mountain or looking up at a statue that towers over us. Instead of climbing a mountain or finding a huge statue though, with art we only need to go to a museum or into our living room, if we’re collectors. There are many different types of art and genres, all of which can have a powerful effe...
