It Takes Balls To Be Happy

The happiest of my Friends all have something in common.

It’s not that they all earn shed loads of cash.

Neither are all of their aims altruistic.

It’s nothing to do with shagging scores of beautiful people (although that’s a sure fire way to start the day right,

Nor do they live a life of permanent vacation, free from responsibility.

In fact, it’s the opposite. The thing that all of these guys have in common is that they have each taken complete responsibility for their life.

They are masters of their own destiny.

Some are photographers, others writers and actors.

There are craftsmen, gardeners and restaurateurs, too.

They have all stepped away from the cozy bosom of secure jobs and taken the jump to being independent.

Some never had to make the jump, of course, as they knew from an early age what they wanted to do and never compromised or waivered from their path. They have always done it their way.

Others gradually chipped away it. They went from working five days a week for someone else and the weekends for themselves, to four days, then three, two, one…

These are the guys I admire and respect most.

They’ve carved lives that work for them; be it in terms of purpose, or the hours they choose to work.

It hasn’t come easy. Far from it, most have sacrificed time and earning potential to do it their way. They’ve invested everything over the years, but have been rewarded as, like I said at the beginning, they are the happiest guys I know.

Although thoroughly different types of Men, they do share similar attitudes. Over the years, I’d say all have them have said something along the lines of:

‘I can’t stand dedicating my time and energy to someone else’s cause’

Or

‘I was fed up of compromising’

Now, free from the standards and purpose set by others, they are pursuing their destiny their way.

Sure, from time-to-time they have to compromise a little to pay a bill here or there but they seem to be able to live with that.

Sometimes I get really envious of them. The fact that they actually know what they want and have gone and got it, while I’m struggling to even work out what the hell it is I want, never mind actually going out and getting it.

I work in a job that I enjoy but I wouldn’t say that it is fulfilling my purpose … although to be honest I’m still working out what my purpose even is. What I hope is that, when I do get a firmer idea in my gut, I have the Balls to follow the example of my friends – the happiest, most fulfilled guys I’ve ever met.
