Over a course of a year (since graduating college) I have realized what my core values in life are after a few life circumstances that made me become more aware of the quality of life and that I should live life to become the best version of my self throughout my life. It also made me realize to pursue what makes me happy related to those VALUES. When I read MJ's book, it gave me a better perception on taking action in life based on core values and that everyone should pursue life to achieve happiness by taking risk and action by not letting fear hold you back.
I value my TIME ALOT and I can't stand not having CONTROL of my life when it comes to decision making and doing what I want 24/7. In which this is what much of what FREEDOM is all about. That's one reason why FASTLANE ENTREPRENEURSHIP is the road that I'm pursuing. Also that's one reason why I can't WORK for someone my whole life and in general. I want to be in CONTROL of my life and do what I want whenever I want while creating solutions to peoples problems (NEED). I also would rather produce more than consume because I get a good feeling by creating and improving people lives.
Everyone has different MOTIVES for pursuing ENTREPRENEURSHIP or any life pursuits in general based on their VALUES. This is very important to know although many people do not know their VALUES and MOTIVES in life but that is another thread/topic for discussion.There are many roads to get to a certain destination in life. So knowing your MOTIVES and VALUES is VERY important because you will basically be doing things just to do it for nothing like running around in circles and going no where

Check out this portion of this article I read below...
What would you do? Would you take this?
More money is almost always better but only if the opportunity cost is one that doesn’t exact too high a toll on your true desires. For example, if someone offered me $25 million after taxes to spend the next 25 years of my life logging trees in the Pacific Northwest, physically cutting down timber, being exposed to the elements, and risking life and limb, it would take no more than a fraction of a second for me to resoundingly reject their offer. Yet, another person would be thrilled to do the same work and get paid $100,000 per year. There is a vital lesson on the nature of happiness in there. If you never learn anything else from my writings, I hope it is that money exists to serve you. You should not serve it.
