Seth’s World View

Okay, I’m here, pondering the future, the present. There are so many things to do, to try, to experience, and only so much time and money. Yet, there are opportunities, many of them yet to be created. It’s overwhelming really. I dream, but following through is something else altogether. Practically-speaking, I need to find ways to make more money. And you know, they exist, just need to create them, along with all the stuff I’m already doing. It would help if I actually desired to make money. I do desire to go to my coffee shop and buy coffee though, so some amount of money is necessary. And if I ever have a family, it’s good to have money. And it’s usually better to have money than not. I sometimes really don’t feel up to life, and business, and all that. And then I read about what other people are doing, and realize it’s often a matter of choosing to do something rather than lament what seems difficult. Lots of things of difficult, that’s why people don’t do them. I’d really like to find a few sources of passive income. Investments, recurring income, things like that are said to be a better way to go by some than being a wage earner. I’m thinking about starting some other blogs/websites. Maybe a business one, to represent my business self. Then one on imagination, arts, faith, and such, publicize it, challenge the body of Christ, get lots of comments going, be famous in the Christian blogosphere, that sort of thing. Maybe do all this by the time I’m 35.

And if my business dealings and job don’t pan out, and I don’t have a girlfriend by that time, I’m seriously contemplating doing something like the Peace Corps or missions or moving permanently to New Zealand, or Europe if I can turn by previous work abroad experience into something. The idea of being a single American guy, in America, past 35, is just too depressing for me. So, I guess if the dating and marriage path is one of continued disappointment, I can give away all my possessions and move abroad. Sounds like a plan…
