SALARY IS YOUR BRIBE

Salary is a short term solution to a life time problem. Salary alone cannot solve your money problems. You need multiple Sources of income to balance. Don’t live Life fishing with just one hook, there are many fishes in the ocean. Salary is the MEDICINE for managing POVERTY, not to CURE it. Your worth is far more than your salary. Salary is the value someone has put on your effort. How much do you value yourself? You can’t increase in value, unless you value yourself differently. Life is a trade off between time, effort and reward. To be rewarded more, you have to become more valuable.

Humans want something deeper, something much more meaningful, a fundamental difference between animals and humans due to evolution. This search for a deeper meaning to everything often conflicts with the hunger for mere cheese in humans and is a precise reason for the big question everyone faces in their lives. Should I do what I love, follow my dream career or should I just stick to my safe, constant supply of the limited amounts of cheese from time to time? To do what you love, to follow your dreams, not everyone has the guts to make it happen. A majority of the people do what they think will give them a secure life and yearn for security. They just don’t want to take risks. Have a stable job, get married, have kids, ensure your kids get a stable education and job and so on. That has been the "Story of my life" for most of the human population.

But the thing to be noted here is that most of the human population is mediocre, in the sense that they live mediocre lives, both in terms of material as well as not so material aspects. Sure they may have stability but being a salaried employee your entire life……well, then you just got to be satisfied with the mediocrity of your life. Be happy to be the average Joe!

Now there is nothing fundamentally wrong in this. Yearning for stability and wanting mere salary as a bribe to forget your dreams, to forget something that makes your blood boil, something that makes your nerves go wild, something that triggers the dopamine in your brain, something that stimulates the reward system in your brain, well is just your life decision. Entirely depends upon you. What also depends upon you is whether you choose to take the road less travelled.
