Goals Don’t Feel As Good As They Should
A weird idea that I’ve been playing around recently is that the goals’ outcome (value) is no proportionate in any way to the happiness that comes from pursuing it.
I’m pursuing a business A, that can generate XM$. (it does nothing yet) I don’t really feel happy about it. The numbers look good, the process is OK I guess, but it’s not that interesting.
Business B is even worse. It can generate XXk$/month on a smaller time scale. It doesn’t feel so great to pursue either.
My day-job feels OK-ish at times, but mostly feels bad. It pays about 4k$/month
What I really like pursuing is stuff that is cheap:
- making music
- writing useless code but that feels good
- building new relationships
If there was a way to find a business that’s both going to make me super rich and happy while working on it, that would be the endgame.
Something that I would just do when I’m bored; I would just open my computer and work on it.
If I could easily upload images, I would upload a Venn Diagram that highlights the intersection between “projects that make me happy” and “projects that make me wealthy”. I’m sure that I could find something.
You know what, I’ll force myself to find something. I’ll start finding business ideas now. I’ve Google Sheets; I don’t need anything more. (well, I don’t really like Google seeing my business ideas, so I’ll opt for Libreoffice)
Peace
