Life on Mars
Always the dreamer, I think and visualise potential paths in life daily, out a habit. Anticipating outcomes and ways of creating an income that increases my free time and/ or money. There’s an underlying point my partner articulated a few months ago that hadn’t seemed to resonate previously with her- To achieve non normal outcomes, it requires non normal actions. It seems the obvious statement but I’ve met so many people in life who are simply not prepared to embrace that reality and act without intent to graft a new direction onto the body of their work/ life commitments.
If the recipe of your life is without change, if you’re not prepared to step outside the box, to live life on Mars, to be out of your comfort zone- you’re without a lateral lifestyle as it’s out of reach of what is normally required. I believe we need to think differently, embrace what’s foreign, deliberately leave the paths that nurture our comforts and egos to become the student who is open to learning what most aren’t prepared to see, hear or understand.
Someone once said to me, “If you pop your head up and see a crowd of people gathered, head in the other direction.” Embracing the lateral income lifestyle is to me, very much the other direction. How exciting!
