You’ve probably seen a very popular meme on Facebook which something reads along the lines of, “There is no way I was born to pay bills and then die.” Another meme says “Go to school, get a job, get married, get a mortgage, have kids, save for retirement, act normal and then repeat every day, ‘I am Free.’”
No one wants to feel worthless or be a burden on society and, of course, saving money for a “rainy day” or retirement isn’t a bad idea. However, some people feel as if what has been considered to be a “normal” way of life just isn’t for them.

How is it that people who live in extreme poverty are happier than most Americans who have everything they could want and more? It’s how they think.
If you hate your job, why not imagine yourself in a better one? Take steps to actually find that other job, of course, because it won’t happen on its own, but imagine it. Think of the difficulties as stepping stones toward growth or toward what you really want.
The truth is, whether you sit and think about how much you hate something, or you sit and think about how much you are going to like something, the effort you are providing is the same.
