Think of some of your favorite things you’ve ever created in life—the things people will remember you by.
How much would someone have to pay you to remove that creation from ever existing in your life?
…The thing is: many of us are doing this daily. And for A LOT less than we think.
Think about how many creations have been “taken away” because of extra work or from bringing work home or from being too exhausted to create after work…
Think, too, about how long some of those favorite creations took you to make? …And how much you get paid per hour in your job/career? …And if that creation is worth that price?
For many of us… the answer would be an unwavering, “No.”
And yet… many of us continue to work for that hourly rate at the expense of the things we might’ve been so proud to have created.
This isn’t a call to quit your job. It’s a call to renew your commitment towards creation—in the time you can afford to budget… just like you do so vigilantly for your job.
Nobody is going to make the time for you—especially not your boss.
But if you can be your own boss and learn how to make the time for yourself again… what you might end up with is something far more valuable than anything your boss ever gives you in a check.
