Find The Magic Middle
It was a good metaphor for the difference between “selling out” and “following your dreams.”
Many people abhor the idea of “selling out,” meaning ONLY doing something to make a buck.
Anyhow, the main character in the movie was a chef (also the name of the movie.)
He had a job in a pretty popular, high-end restaurant. But he felt he was “selling out” as the owner wouldn’t allow him to “experiment” with different dishes. They had a fight, he quit, and bought a food truck.
Even though he was selling stuff on the side of the road for 4 or 5 dollars a pop, they were HIS creations, and he didn’t have a boss telling him to only follow the money.
Naturally, since it was a movie, everything worked out. He made a ton of cash, got his gorgeous ex-wife back, and reconnected with his kid.
Life, however, is far from a movie. If you follow your dreams, there’s a chance you won’t make a lot of money. (Starving artist.) At least at first.
On the other hand, if you ONLY “follow the money” you might get rich, but you’ll feel empty inside.
Are these the only two options?
Luckily, whenever we’re presented with two complete opposite scenarios, they are really extremes on either side of a continuum.
Which means if you put some effort into it, you’ll find a some good middle ground.
Where you can follow your dreams, AND make a ton of money in the process.
Problem is many people aren’t so patient. It’s easy to “sell out” and get a job you hate, and figure “that’s the way it is.”
It’s also pretty easy to just give up and become a “starving artist” with the attitude that the world just doesn’t “get it.”
It takes real effort to take your passions, and cultivate them into real skills that people will pay real money for.
It’s not easy, which is why you’ll find most people in the “starving artist” category or the “sell-out” category.
You look up the personal history of ANYBODY who made it big, in ANY field, and you’ll find that it didn’t come easy.
In fact, many great creators went through plenty of struggle, in the beginning.
You might consider that to be the very purpose of your life.
To first identify your passions, and then do whatever it takes to cultivate them into something magnificent.
Something people will appreciate.
And something that will generate real wealth.
