Pursuing Passion

My ultimate goal in life is to do anything and everything that makes me happy.  Lately, I have been turning my focus towards how I can achieve that goal, and questioning the efficacy of my current efforts towards that goal.  I complete my first year of a business management program tomorrow, and school does not make me happy.  School has never made me happy, it never will make me happy, and will never contribute to my future happiness.  School is mostly a process of passively receiving and regurgitating empty information with no passion, empathy, and vigor or real-world connection. I feel as though I am destroying the creative vitality of my mind for the purpose of preparing for a dead and dying economy. 

            Procrastination and resentment are the inevitable consequences of participation in this soul-sucking system.  I must do my homework because I must pass my classes because I must get a degree that will become obsolete before I finish my four years of indoctrination.  Whenever someone tells me that I must do something, it has almost always been something I don’t want to do.  The truth is that there are no musts in this world.  If I want to do something, no one has to tell me that I must do it.

            What is the best way to pursue my passions in life?  I am certain it is not by doing things which I am not passionate about.  Tomorrow, I will write my last exam and never step foot in an “educational” institution again, and no one is going to stop me.  My real education begins now, and the world has never been so free and limitless. 


The Truth is: I have always been pursuing a real education, but my “education” has been standing in the way.
