Have you ever been told that you need to go to college or join the military to succeed? . Society has led us to believe that unless we go to college and get a degree we will not be successful. Well that's not entirely true.
It's time for the facts.
More than 40 percent of college graduates take positions out of school that don't require a degree, and more than 1 in 5 college grads still aren't working a degree-demanding job a decade after leaving school.
Does that sound right to you?
Our entire lives we have been told that college is the only way to go in order to live "Successful" Lives. Over years of internet development we have seen just how untrue that really is. For example, people are making fortunes of platforms like Youtube, Instagram, and other types of Social Media. These people are all NORMAL people. They are People who decided they wanted to defy the social normality and go into a different more "Taboo" path, and in doing so opened the doors for hundreds if not thousands of different job opportunity, that you will bot only survive off of, but actually enjoy.
Where do I stand in all of this?
From an early age I realized that I was not cut out to be a "normal" member of society. I had trouble in school and no matter what I always challenged what was generally accepted as "normal" by everyday society, which in turn also got me in a lot of trouble.
Fast forward to present day, It didn't take long for me to realize that I didn't want to work a normal career either. The idea of waking up early every morning to go to a job that I wasn't entirely passionate in and working for hours and hours on end DID NOT ENTERTAIN ME. And being the person I am, I need excitement and change. I can't fall into the same old routine and do the same thing over and over day after day.
My Upbringing
Growing up I watched as my parents spend their lives slaving away working jobs the hated in order to provide for me. This was my main source of inspiration. I knew early on that I didn't want to end up stuck in the same cycle. I didn't want to have to go to school for 25 years just to have to work for the next 50 in order to retire and "be happy"
This is when I discovered Youtube. Sure I was an avid user before , watching videos of my favorite creates everyday living the happiest lives. I thought that it would be nearly impossible for that to happen to me. Well my goal is prove myself, and everyone else wrong.
I decided that I wanted to be like those famous YouTube, who are able to survive off of making videos, and more importantly LOVE doing it as well.
I decided that my life would be MIne and I would live it to the fullest and do what ever it takes to reach my goals.
My goal of my youtube channel is to inspire others to take hold of their lives and live the lives they really want to live. The main things holding people from taking the risks that are necessary to go against the "normal" way of life are often money, and the fact that they let other people's opinions get in the way. My entire youtube channel is about pushing my own limits, living free, and inspiring others to join me. I hope you found at least a little bit of inspiration in this post.
