Have any of y'all had a chance to check out the Might & Main website? The lovely creator, Michelle, of Oh Mishka, has kindly agreed to do a guest post on my blog, about her positive revolution and the catalysts for its genesis.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First of all, thanks for having me on your blog, Corinda.
I created my new blog, Might & Main, last month because I was tired of accepting less than I wanted from life. Society teaches us that the proper way to live is to grow up, go to university, get a job where we can be moderately successful and force ourselves to work our whole lives.
Well, frankly, I disagree. I don’t see the value in working at a job I don’t love just because I’m supposed to. Instead, I’m going to create a “job” for myself doing what I love- blogging.
This is my life, so I’m going to live it just how I want to.
The tradeoff is that now I work harder than I’ve ever done before. Chances are, if you leave your traditional job to strike out on your own, you’ll work exponentially harder too.
I don’t mind because, to me, it’s worth it. I’d rather work my hardest doing what I love than put in a half-hearted effort doing anything else.
Ideally, everyone would do the same.
But if everyone left their jobs to do something else, wouldn’t the world stop functioning?
No. Because some people love their jobs already. My boyfriend, for example, wants nothing more than to be an engineer. He’s worked his hardest to get where he is and continues to work his hardest daily.
Now imagine if everyone was so passionate about what they do that they worked their hardest. The world, instead of falling apart, would become a place of productivity and satisfaction.
Michelle
