A) Because I’m a nerd 
B) Because I find it fascinating
C) Because I want to understand why I think the way I do
D) To share my findings with others.
Here’s a quick video featuring speaker/author Jason Ryan Dorsey about us from 60 minutes:
I essentially fall into every category he talked about. i.e. I don’t want to ‘settle,’ I graduated from school and moved back with my ‘rents for the summer, I put lifestyle above ‘work’, bought into the ‘fantasy’ of the dream job blahblahblah.
I’m essentially obsessed with the idea of a dream job and refuse to give it up. I really believe that it’s possible for the work that you do to be enjoyable…maybe even awesome! I just really subscribe to the idea that you can create your life the way you want it to be…it’ll just take hard work and sacrifice at the beginning (aka paying your dues to make it all worth it). I think the conflict here is, that my generation is hesitant to pay their dues, as we want instant gratification in everything we do. Commitment is hard to come by.
…Which ties into this TV show. It takes a heckuva lot of commitment to make it happen. But…it’s happening. In fact I had a fantastic meeting tonight and officially have two amazing producers (& a photographer) on-board to make it happen!
Anyways…more details to follow.
