"TGIF!!!"

I got this message on one of my Facebook group chat.

Being away from my friends and family, I needed a place to reach out to them, to update them and to just tell stories of what my day was like.

I have one for my family as a whole, for my siblings alone, and different sets of friends.

Every week, on Friday, there is not a doubt that I will get a "TGIF!" message.

Of course, we need to thank God every day. But there is something about Friday that most people love.

"What?" you asked.

Oh well, it is the closest day to weekends.

And weekends mean having a 2-day off from 5 days of dragging yourself to the office.

With my lifestyle now, I don't even know what day of the week it is. And getting their message reminded me that another week has passed.

And on these days, we always go back to the same topic over and over again.

What's in the future?

Is this all that it is?

Will I go for a job that pays good money? Or to go for something I am passionate about but is not making a penny?

These are a tricky question that can't be answered with option A or Because it entirely depends on YOU and the situation.

It depends if you are the breadwinner of the Family, or you are supporting yourself. Do you have savings?

The thing is... passion is overrated.

Because people tend to get bored too fast. What you're passionate today won't be what you want next year.

Back when I was a kid, I wanted to be a princess, because I am passionate about dolls and the Disney characters.

And then I went to High School and I just have the house-school-house routine. I go there because I have to, and because I want to be with my friends.

Comes college and I am not sure what to take. So I just went where there is more opportunity after graduation.

When I became a nurse, I felt it was not for me. I like to be creative, and build things.

Which is what I am doing now. But still, I get distracted.

To be honest, I am not sure what my passion is. Or maybe, I do.

I like traveling, writing and design. I love marketing too! And building a community (that's why I love Steemit).

And I am sure it will change in the coming years.

The things is, if you can find a way to earn money on what you are interested in, then that's great!

For sure there is!

But if you want a safety net, I suggest you save money until you are ready to take the leap. Or have a side gig that could develop your skills.

There are several courses and Youtube videos where you could hone your abilities. You could be a video editor, a voice actor, interpreter, designers.... or a writer.

You have lots of options in front of you. And because of the internet, learning became so much easier.

So if you are still one of those asking if there is life after work.

Definitely!

Continue learning as it makes you grow, and the best thing is... when you get good at it, people will be asking you to take their money.

We can keep on arguing about what you do for money or what you love. But at the end of the day, it comes down to the value that you could give to others. When you know you can help others, and then get paid doing it, then you found the right formula.

So keep on exploring, and if you just keep on showing up... you will get where you want to be.
