The Great Escape

In Blog, Hustle Podcast by Eric ByrnesLeave a Comment

Oftentimes we become consumed with whenever our next vacation is… 

We do the 9-5 grind and the vacation that looms is really the only thing that keeps us going and that we truly look forward to.

There is nothing wrong with vacations and who wouldn’t be excited about their next adventure that just may happen to involve umbrella drinks on white sanded beaches by large bodies of crystal blue water… 

There is only one problem though… 

When we spend our lives always looking beyond the moment, we so often miss the true beauty of what’s actually happening in our current world… 

“Ummmm, Professor EB, how do you expect me to find ‘beauty’ in my current world when everything sucks… My school sucks, my job sucks and my girlfriend sucks… Just a whole lot of suckey going on in my life and vacations are my only escape!!!” 

Good morning Mr. SuperSoft. How bout the two of us try to look at your situation as objectively as possible…. 

You GET to go to Go Hard University where you have the privilege to have me as your professor and that job of yours as a barista at the local coffee house actually seems to be a pretty plush one… Your girlfriend is terrible but that’s only because your balls haven’t dropped yet and you don’t have the nuts to ever stand up for yourself when she walks all over you… 

All that said, if you don’t like the life that you are living and always feel the need to escape it, fucking do something about it!!!

Everyday life doesn’t necessarily have to be a vacation but it sure as hell doesn’t need to be something you feel like you need to escape… Just as our dude Seth Godin perfectly put it: 

‘Instead of wondering when your next vacation is maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.’” 🤔
