How Star Wars keeps me from going to 9-5

I love Star Wars.

Im not a geek.

Im not one of those guys who’s read all the comics out there…

Fanfics…

Animations…

And who knows what else.

But Ive been a fan since I can REMEMBER.

Since being a lil 8yo shit.

Watching the 6 original movies on repeat at my granny’s…

And having watched these movies at least 3 times each…

I consider myself a diehard fan.

If you’ve not been living under a paleozoic-era boulder…

You should have at least a decent idea what’s Star Wars about.

And it connects to being a freelancer in a certain way…

But here’s long story short:

We have bad guys - Empire.

We have “good” guys (technically terrorists) - Rebels.

Bad guys?

They wanna rule the entire galaxy.

They enslave, conquer whole planets and control them with an iron fist.

Good guys?

They oppose the Empire.

Try to take it down and bring peace to galaxy.

But…

The good guys are tiny compared to the bad guys.

Think of it as…

Ant colony against an army legion.

All the odds are stacked against the Rebels.

So what do they do?

Give up?

Lose hope?

Get lazy and watch some braindead TikToks?

Ofc no.

HOPE is literally the characterisitc symbol of their movement.

Even though they realistically would have zero chances to oppose the bad guys…

They have hope.

And that hope leads them to a badass victory.

But what the fuck does it have to do with having a solo biz?

There WILL for sure, 100% certain, no doubts, be times…

Where tonnes of shit will hit the big ass jet engine…

And paint the whole warehouse in fecal matter.

That’s just how it is.

But…

You NEED to have hope.

ALWAYS.

Hope that it will work out in your favor, sooner or later.

No matter what happens…

All clients conspire and ditch you all at once…

Meteor hits your laptop and you can’t tweet platitdues for next 3 days…

Or every single prospect ghosts you and doesn’t show up on the call even though they were drooling over your offer…

You gotta just have hope and keep goin’.

That’s basically it, bud.

If you made it this far, just reply “I hate star wars”.

(Even if you don’t)

Cya!
