Passive income

I have been way too tired the last couple days and my shoulder hurts more than ever but I am not taking care of it enough. I just saw an interesting passive income opportunity. I’d like to at least look into it and learn what it is all about. One thing I have learned from my host pushing me to approach things from every angle: while going around to every shop in town asking if they are hiring doing job interview after job interview reeeally isn’t the way for me, I can use the same approach in growing a business and in growing passive income streams.

I finally have a decent financial cushion and can, though bittersweet after so much time wasted being deprived of resources, hopefully start building a foundation for my life from there. Being in that shelter made me realise, I need money, that is important, it can relieve a lot of huge anxiety, and I need to have a positive and enthusiastic attitude towards it if I am going to get there. Developing that positive attitude feels like a healing practice.

There is no sense wasting any time though I need to be patient for my shoulder to heal. If I am worried about having to go back to a bad place it is so much harder to do it and I just flounder forever. So I am getting to the point where I could probably afford rent pretty much anywhere in the country for a year, or I could rent apartments in Latin America for… years… (except I would need to move around and deal with visa restrictions) which feels like just the right amount of security to begin to console myself about basic survival so I can start to put energy into passive income streams and other income.

Hopefully, by the end of next year, with some motivation, I should be able to bring in enough passively that rent is not something I will need to concern myself with anymore at all, at least that is my goal, because I can’t live that kind of life anymore. It makes the world feel too sad, and makes me feel disconnected from the world.

I need that security, since I can’t work the way other people do, and not just because I am too lazy for it, but yes, that too. That, along with getting excited about something and pursuing it, is my goal. If I am not excited about something I have no motivation to care about money, but when I am, I can start asking myself how having a little more financial freedom can nurture my life, and maybe I can be as dedicated to that as I feel like I am to studying languages right now.

I do maintain they should be teaching this stuff (all of it: passive income and languages) in schools… but perhaps that is for a future world I will never get to see…
