Another realization

Something I realized today is that our jobs become much easier to do when we stop thinking about them as jobs. The people who we sometimes see as "working" in jobs like giving wilderness tours, writing, cooking, anything really, may have simply found themselves making money while they went about the process of living their lives by their own rules.

Decide what you need. What things must be present in your life to equate success? For me, these are generally food, shelter, access to a community of some sorts, and time to be pursuing my own projects. Once you figure out what you need, evaluate your current state. Is anything missing? Are there a lot of other things that surround you that are holding you back? For me this process reminds me that I can live one step at a time, always confident that the right opportunities will show up when their needed and that there will be things that provide for these needs in the future.
