So I have a job interview at Target on Saturday. You might not believe this, but Target is not my dream job (shocker, right?). I can't think of anything at Target that I would like to do for any length of time.
It is a paycheck, though, and around here, jobs are scarce.
I've decided to put aside foolish pride and do something to make my life better. It's not an ideal situation, but it might mean enough money to get out of this basement and get my life moving again. It might mean stretching student loan money that much further, and with the interest I'm going to pay on those, I need to stretch them as far as I can.
I think one of the reasons I'm still in the basement is that I never learned that sometimes you really have to do things you don't want to do. I wanted (hell, sometimes I still do want it) to own an internet business, selling information and other products that people can use and that make their lives better.
The problem is, no matter what the latest internet marketing guru tells you, without money to survive on, it really is impossible to make money in a business. If you're starving, it's hard to focus on selling a stupid ebook for someone else.
So that's the lesson of this post: Accept that there are things you will have to do that you really don't want to do, but accept them as a temporary solution. I have to believe that, while there will always be things I don't want to do, there will always be things that I DO want to do as well. Now, if I can just get doing more of those things, and less of the other stuff.
