Freelance Because You Love It
Posted August 6, 2007 in Inspiration, Lifestyle Add Comment »
Why freelance? Do you have enough time to hear all of the answers? Do you even care to remember all of those answers? Likely not. None of us needs to know all of those answers; we only need to understand what works for us.
As an experiment, keep a log for a few days (and stop groaning; it’s not just another log — it’s interesting). Every hour or so, write a reason, or a variation, or something appealing about how you envision the freelance way of life.
The listing process will become addictive and energizing, I promise. Each single reason makes a synapse connection to another. They play and mix and give birth to newer and fresher ideas and start to forge their own peculiar paths.
That’s why freelance! Freedom to be and to choose. Free rein. Free expression.
A freelancer or freelance worker is a person who pursues a profession without a long-term commitment to any one employer. The term was first coined by Sir Walter Scott (1771-1832) in his well-known historical romance Ivanhoe to describe a “medieval mercenary warrior.” Wikipedia
Here’s a fact, and it’s a fact that too many people must live through and deal with every day: The traditional employee has little leeway, if any at all. The traditional employee plays in somebody else’s backyard with somebody else’s ball and somebody else’s rules. There’s no option that includes freedom. And that, my friends, is one of the basic reasons that we’ve opted to freelance our ways through life; the creative processes work best untethered.
It’s the untethered life we seek, combined with the creative feelings that grasp us, those feelings that catch our vibrations. Those vibrations connect with the being, loving and honoring parts of us that is our essense.
Our lances belong to no sovereign state; they’re ours, We need to let them and us remain free.
