How can you "be the person you want to be" if you're stuck in a job that stifles you? Do you lie to yourself and say "I'm not here for the money. I'm just here to learn and deal with challenges better?" Say you want to be a writer. Aren't you supposed to believe "I am a writer" and live your life like that and let the universe provide and not worry about where the money will come from? To me, that means not working a 9-5 job or do I still not understand how it all works. Isn't the bottom line about enjoying life NOW as Eckart Tolle expresses?
