If Money Wasn’t a Problem

For three years I dedicated my life to a routine of studying.

For three years I never really thought about the day when it would all come to an end and now that I have finished it, my life, my career and my future begins. The late Alan Watts, a British philosopher asks the question of what would you do with your life if money was no object. Coming out of University I have received an overwhelming amount of free time which will give me time to regather the past three years and really get to know who I am. However Watt’s lecture has prompted me to think, or to rethink what would I do if money wasn’t an object? My current motives for money are to: buy a house, to be financially secure, to be prepared for a family and to be able to provide for them without a doubt. Take this away and you are left with an IT buff, with a tendency to be nerdy, someone who loves to fish and is passionate about God. I have an urge to envision, to inspire and to make a difference and impact the world. I want to innovate, be innovative and promote success through all that I do and to the people around me. I wish to spread happiness and express life through my actions. Create opportunity through my visions, dreams and inspire those around me to aspire further in their own lives. If there was no drive to create money I wouldn’t lack the drive to do these aspirations.

“If you say that money is the most important thing, you’ll spend your life completely wasting your time: You’ll be doing things you don’t like doing in order to go on living, that is, in order to go on doing things you don’t like doing — which is stupid!” – Alan Watts

So now that I have realigned my views, in the next coming months I need to focus on creating these aspirations into being and create a dream come true. Likewise, those who have lots of money think it will find happiness… however, if all you are doing is striving for something which is taking you away from your passion, well then you will be living life trying to fill it with waste. Strip the money away and do what you want to do, like actually do it and you’ll find that the happiness is there, the motivation is there and the drive will be refuelled into something other than a cog in a big machine.

So I have nine months to change the world. (In no particular order)

• Blog/Write a book
• Develop Business Opportunities
• Fish – Get Boat Licence
• Innovate/Dream
• Grow (Physically/Spiritually)
• Get Fit and Healthy
