Alternative Methods

In today’s world, the classic way of living your life preached and idolatrized by the society is no longer an option for most, going to college only to get a shitty job that pays you just enough to live by and then get a family is not the way to go anymore. Don’t get me wrong, such a lifestyle is fine as long as you want it, but most people have no idea what they want and follow what others set up for them.

As my philosophy teacher said today, the purpose of the human beings is to reach a state of happiness, a thing that is only possible if you stay authentic if you follow your vision but impossible if you just do what others say.

We’re probably the luckiest beings that ever lived on this planet since we now have a shitload of possibilities, we don’t need to obey the usual, we can break out of the paradigm thanks to the alternative methods, ways that got developed over the past years.

Education

We live in the most exciting age of all time, the information is floating freely everywhere, and we no longer have to follow a specific school to learn some particular things, we can learn anything on the internet. Most of the so-called teachers have no idea what they are talking about, they are not speaking from their experience but preaching from the textbooks usually written by morons.

To give you an example, if the business teachers were any decent in their field they would have no damn time to waste in class, they would be outside winning at life. Most teachers nowadays are those that never accomplished anything but are only talking about what others achieved, and I know many examples like such in real life.

Of course, if you would’ve had Aristotle as your teacher that would’ve been amazing, he knew what he was talking about because first he learned and experimented and only later in his life he taught others, he’s the one that shaped the minds of people like Caesar. But the today’s teachers are not even close to him.

But thankfully, we have this life-changing tool called the internet, and we can now learn anything for free from experts. The beautiful thing about this is that most of the times, those teaching online have some experience, they already built something epic in that field and now are sharing their journey. They are the people like Gary Vaynerchuk, Dan Pena and many others who are sharing all of their content for free; you only have to be willing to learn.

Money

Now, in this century, everybody can work from home, going to a job is no longer a need. The jobs are rigged, having to work on a rigid schedule, every week until you’re an old fuck for a salary that is usually not enough to live your life freely, doesn’t seem like the best use of anyone's time.

Yes, it may seem that building something online is not as safe as a typical job and it may take a while until your side hustle starts to make you some bucks and you will have to work for free until that happens but you want to know what, the jobs are not safe either. Think about the last economic collapse, so many people lost their jobs just because the companies went bankrupt and that can happen anytime.

If you work online, you are your boss and can decide your schedule and the amount of work you want to put in, but I advise you to give out 200% until you accomplish something significant, whatever that means for you.

And also, in this era, we don’t even need to use the old and fucked up financial system that’s soon going fail since it’s, of course, a damn Ponzi scheme, the biggest in the world, now we can use the alternative methods like crypto. Will fiat money ever stop working? I have no idea, but one thing is sure, after the next economic collapse which is coming soon, more and more people will realize how rigged the banks are and start investing in crypto, where they have the control. The blockchain technology is building a new era for business and sustainable living, and one of those examples is Steem, it’s not easy to accomplish something here, but it is possible, better than most things out there.

Conclusion

These are the two alternative methods that impacted my life the most, and I firmly believe that anyone could take advantage of them to some extent and change the quality of their life, they just have to want it enough. The technology is growing at a rapid pace, I can’t even keep up with it, and more and more things will soon start to be revolutionized putting the power in the hands of the people, a thing that didn’t happen since we were living in tribes.

Is a new era of abundance and happiness for everybody waiting for us? That thing I don’t know, but it is sure that the old system it’s already dying off and those that can notice and take advantage of it, will win tremendously.

The world is moving fast, break out of the old paradigm and try to look for the future because it is damn exciting.
