What is your mission?

View all responses

I can imagine all great bloggers sharing how their mission is to help others, help the world become better, reduce someone else’s pain, help animals, and all kind of noble and great things. I think I’m putting my bar way too low, as my mission is just not to be a financial burden for no one else again.

I got a Bachelor’s degree in Venezuela, and times were kind of complicated (I also had to change the Thesis) with protests and all kinds of things, so for many years, I was completely dependent on my parents. What’s worse… I felt entitled to it (eww, I know). So, even if I was working as a lab assistant/assistant to the professor at the University, I would use that to buy clothes and for my brackets treatment.

Now, I was lucky to meet two great friends, Cesar and Jose, who opened my eyes to the need of earning things on my own. Afterward, I tried a couple of businesses, started working on Fiverr, contributed to the house, and felt really embarrassed about my crappy ass previous attitude towards my parents.

That’s why my mission is to remain financially independent, whatever it takes. What about you? What’s your mission? Let me know 🙂
