Slack Slacker: How to Never Work a Hard Day in Your Life
The title of this post may seem like clickbait, but it's really a simple piece of advice I, Slack Slacker, wanted to share. It came to me while watching a warm, lazy sunrise on Miami’s South Beach last week. Being a sun lover and an early riser, by nature, I have ideas and positive thoughts that present themselves easily and consistently as though they were divinely inspired.
Now, I don’t want the reader of this “rambling rant” to think these ideas and positive thoughts lit a light bulb over my head like some epiphany from the heavens above, because many times, ideas and positive thoughts have penetrated my thick cranium after a night of excessive consumption of high-octane Tequila. I only admit this for full disclosure. I don’t condone or recommend this too often because it comes with well-documented negative consequences. That said, let's get to the meat of the matter.
As a lifelong slacker, I’ve often wondered why most people willingly join the rat race of life, seeking “careers” that may pay them handsomely but, at the end of the day, are stressful and unfulfilling. When this is how one lives for too long, they generally become resentful and disappointed with the choices they made, no matter what the rewards they’d received for their efforts and sacrifices they’ve made. Most people who venture down these “career” paths conclude that the only thing they’ve done with their lives is “Worked Hard” for a living, but they’ve never really lived.
"Those Who Realize What They Truly Love Will Only Do What They Love." Take me for instance, I've only truly loved reading, writing, thinking, researching, solving mysteries of all kinds, and sharing my thoughts and findings. But most rewarding of all is calling out those who do evil and shining a light on their dirty deeds. Oh yeah, I also like taking long walks, cooking my own food, and sitting on the beach at sunrise.

P.S. If you think what I've written is difficult to achieve, these days, I recommend you ask AI for a plan of action to earn a living doing what you love to do. Be specific and honest with your prompt and see what you get. I'm betting you're going to be surprised! But whatever you do, get your mind out of that God Damned Cube!
