If you can absolutely do nothing and be rewarded, would you risk your lavish lifestyle, guilty pleasures, and addiction? I know it sounds like a trick question or an MLM opening line. To clarify, to "do nothing" means to do nothing that will make you feel you "need" to do the thing (e.g., work) and to do only things that will make you happy. Others call it "freedom." I call it "nothing," as it literally is a blank in space and time, which you can fill in with anything you want.
It is difficult to resist the allure of the "dasurv" mentality. You worked hard, so you play hard. You deserve to reap the fruits of your labor. However, most of us were brought up under a system of cycles. We do something to get rewarded, but we know that we will have to do the same thing again over and over, because the appeal of the reward has become too strong, too familiar, too attainable. Why give it up?
Three words: Fuck. You. Money. What if you can walk away from your shitty job, give your employer the middle finger on your way out (to use the FU term literally), and have enough money to maintain your desired lifestyle without needing another job? No more hamster wheel. No more Monday blues. No more performance evaluation.
I deserve to enjoy all the days of the week, not just the weekend. I deserve to wake up to the sound of birds chirping, not the alarm on my phone. I deserve to spend my days inspired and energized, not coasting or languishing. So yes, I will risk it all to have the life I deserve.
