"Go to school, get a safe, stable job with good benefits, save your money and one day retire." The golden ticket path we were told to follow by our parents, teachers, political leaders, and others. While this message is well-intentioned, it comes from an outdated and limited school of thought.

Unfortunately, these limitations are placed on us as kids, long before we enter the awareness of reality. Thus, we end up repeating the cycle. Working jobs we hate, to pay bills we can barely afford, raising our families to survive instead of thrive.

In today's episode, I break down the hidden cost of not pursuing a passionate, impactful life and why you should absolutely avoid following the path of others.

But that doesn't mean people can't change." - Bruce D Schnieder 

It can be very easy to sit and blame our circumstances on external things like our bosses, politicians, our kids, etc. 

Everyone is dealt a different hand, but those who succeed accept the hand they have and play the game anyway. They understand that their circumstance don't change their responsibility to themselves and their family.  Those who fail blame the hand and those with better ones. They fold. They choose to believe that they are at the effect of their world, not the cause of it.

Will you play or fold?
