You asked some good questions and I would probably need to write a blog post to reply to them all. But, what we are willing to do for money is a an important question these days. The crypto world has turned the world of finance upside down and everyone is questioning the idea of money itself.

In my personal life I'm starting to view all forms of energy as currency. Time is obviously a currency, morality is currency, trust is currency, health is currency, and so forth. If we sacrifice any of these things for money, which is arguably the lowest form of currency, then we're going into debt, while convincing ourselves that we're getting rich. Just my two cents! Have a great day! ☀️

> what most of us are doing in this life, are choosing to work for money to meet our living needs, at the expense of following what we actually want to do.

This is really true and as human this is what majority experience on a daily basis trying to work to settle or solve every necessities that is needed to be cleared.

Folks stay in jobs they don't like, yes.   They need the money, but that are a slave to their fear of change. They are too afraid to go after their dreams. They may not believe in themselves enough or perhaps it is low self-esteem.   They are smart enough to do the daily routine work, yet dumb enough to not move forward.   They are employees or self- employed.   They are not investors or entrepreneurs.  They may have dreams but they are day dreams rather than visions and they have not invested in themselves.   They have chosen to be a slave to the system and a slave to their boss. 

>It is a world of sacrifice. 

This topic reminds me of my all time favorite manga Berserk. It is about a man with a great ambition. To achieve his goal he had to sacrifice everything he had. 

At some point sacrifice becomes not worth it- we lose as much(or more) than we gain.

The answer is not easy Mr. Taraz, I think that in a world of sacrifices we are all addicted to the moments of happiness and become aware of this all the different beliefs and ways of thinking are nothing more than agreements that we establish with ourselves and with other human beings....is our creation that we do not know if it will be true with the symbols we use to build what we know, think, do ...I would say the truth of each one...

I think it is good to stop punishing ourselves so much for the same mistake and to extend the moments of happiness, just thinking about it. 

Very interesting! I was just recently thinking about this difference between being just active or productive...but that this even as an influence on your sleep in that way is an observation I havent made yet (Ill pay attention to it:) 
and indeed it is only a matter how to phrase it, and everything has a price, I liked the way you put that into words. shocking indeed but initiates some very interesting thoughts and questions...

>But, while we might be willing to do a lot for money, what are we willing to forego and endure to follow our dreams? What are we willing to give up for love?

That's a very big and **very** good question... 

Very well said. I think You've been restless because the void / the universe has been sending you knowledge to share with us... perhaps

Thanks for sharing!

I believe, the problem is many of us just follow the "regular" path and sooner or later are trapped in the monthly income needs to pay for the bills.
Last year I saw some Italian small villages offering housing and jobs for those intending to move there, and last week I saw the same for a small town not far away from home. They need a minimum of population to keep the school open as well as basic public health care in town, so they offer you a very cheap rental and help to find a job if you move there.

A €200 to €300 per month rental of a new house and help to find a job make a big difference as you can afford to work on what you like even if you do not get paid that much as your monthly bills are much smaller.

Then there are those working from home who do not need to live in expensive towns as all they need is a good network connection and can afford to live closer to nature.

My personal feeling is that little by little there are different options than the regular path of going to school, finding a job, buying a house, raising a family, and getting trapped in a job you may not like just because you need to pay the bills.

Often when you have money, it overshadows whether you are with the one you love or your work is something you love, that's why we often focus on the £€¥$ above all else.

>I don't know how people work in places where they don't like their colleagues.

I think they have to in early days. Later, it becomes difficult and things out of work replaces the work. If irresistible, they change department or job in the end.
