Every once in a while I go through these little stints where I just wish I didn't care. It doesn't last much more than a day or 2, but it still happens here and there where I wish I could be happy with with just being the average joe that works for $25k a year and is happier than a pig in shit. I'm not the type of person that can just sit and do nothing or do something that isn't productive. Then I see people that have nothing, no drive, no ambition, and are absolutely pumped about their crappy job and they wouldn't have it any other way.
One example is a friend of mine that has worked retail for about 10 years for about $22-25,000 a year the last couple years. He just recently got a job as an inventory control officer with a warehouse where he'll be making $30k a year and he has been on cloud 9 for the last 2 months saying things like "I've been waiting for this all my life", "This is the break I've been waiting for!" He's 30 years old, single, lives in his parents basement making peanuts for money and he couldn't be happier! It's not like he's an idiot either, he went to university and everything taking business admin. He's very intelligent, but he's very average in every aspect of his life.
It's not that I'm not happy, but has anyone else ever wished they could just turn off the "motivation and desire" switch and just be content with being average?
