Dream to be a Professional Blogger? Are You Destined to be a Blogger?

Hi bloggy readers,
As i sat myself in front of my laptop (actually my family's laptop), i was thinking about what would i be in the future? I mean, right now i am just thinking about finishing my college to get a bachelor's degree of management economy in order to get a normal job as an employee, and then save money for the future, and so on, and so on. But somehow, my mind is telling me to find another path of life.

Yes, that's true, this feeling is still crawling inside my head, ensures me that my future belong to be a genuine blogger. But the question is, is that feeling strong enough to push me for not bothering myself to get a normal, stuck, boring and full pressure job after i graduate my college in the future?

Maybe, some of you bloggers who read this article have the same and strange feeling that i experience right now, or maybe, some of you who have already reached that so-called financial freedom life, are trying to flashback your memory and remember that kind of feeling you had in the past.

Dream to be a professional blogger

Yeah, many professional bloggers i have met in blogosphere who already attained that successful career as a blogger, maybe, are having an around the world trip right now, or maybe they are currently buying a new car they always wanted in their life, or maybe, some of them are doing a relaxing activity such as fishing, biking, climbing, or any activity they always loved to do while their bank accounts are loaded with the money they earned as a blogger.

Yaro Starak in one of the successful bloggers who already finished his around the world trip thank to his blog, Entrepreneurs-journey blog. And the person who, maybe, right now is enjoying his new car is Alborz Fallah. And there are lots of examples of other successful bloggers out there who have achieved such a fulfilling life thanks to their blogs. Yeah, they are the senior and professional bloggers i've met in blogosphere and they are the source of inspirations that encourages me a lot to enter the field of blogging.

Anyway, i have 2 elder brothers and 2 sisters. My first brother is currently running a family business, an event organizing, and my other brother is working as an employee in one of the institution in Jakarta. I feel that, my brother is struggling really hard to work in the institution where he works. Wakes up in the morning, goes to the office, returns home almost late night, gets a sleep, and then does the same and boring activities over and over again in tomorrow morning from Monday to Friday, just like my Dad.

Those situations have rushed me to find another plan B that never crossed in my mind before, or even my family, which is by becoming a blogger. I am not saying that working hard as employee is such a stupid idea in getting money for the future. I am just thinking that, is it worth it with the hard work and efforts we'll do for that job in the future? Moreover, global crisis is starting to crash my country economic. Many companies are shutting down their business, while the others are struggling really hard to survive and retrenchment becomes the most terrifying word for all the employees across the world. Anyway, if you don't understand about what is the meaning of retrenchment, let me define it to you with my own words.

Retrenchment means the company must shrink their sources or costs by reducing their employees/costs in order to survive in the global crisis economic.

That's why, right now, my mind is forms a mind mapping to sort out this complicated situation which, of course, will be waiting for me to face it. And i figure it out that by becoming a blogger is my real chance to bend the normal path that people usually passed to gain an income for their future.

That's why i keep thinking about changing my normal path in my family which in an orderly fashion, begins with: getting a normal job > working hard > hoping to get promoted to a better position > being a managar > finally, being a boss.

I just think that, we have to be more creative in this complicated world. Go with the flow journey is not my style, i just need to find my genuine passion in my life. I just believe in myself that one day i will be a successful person in career but not as a full pressure work force, working in high competitive enterprise where the people in that area are elbowing each other or sucking up their bosses to get to the higher position. I just want to do my part as a blogger and make lots of money and finally do my favourite activity, playing an electronic guitar.

So if you are experiencing the same feeling i am experiencing right now, i just need to ask you all,

Are you destined to be a blogger?

Yeah..That question becomes cliche in blogosphere. For many successful bloggers, that question reminds them in the condition where they were only newbies in internet. They still do the information searching whether it's trustful and reliable information or just some scam. And in that point, they have to decide whether to continue their efforts to be a blogger, or just quit and return to normal life again as an employee. And i bet it happened to all of you, right?

My first blog was Gamelidz and i used Google Blogger service as a platform to share my favourite mobile games for free. And in the last updates, i've made some news about iPhone and N-Gage games, so if you are interested with those kind of stuff, just off to my first blog then.

Although Gamelidz can only gather around 30 visitors per day, i manage to collect about $30 per month by only placing link ads in my homepage, yeah, not bad though. And i think, that is strong enough to ensure me that my future belong to be a blogger. I am extremely proud to release Gamelidz as my first experience on getting to know about what blog really is and i'm also proud that i created that blog was not for money, i was just doing that for fun because i really loved playing games with mobile phone, so i think it paid off with my 9-months effort making a Gamelidz blog.

So i hope you've made a big decision right now, whether to choose the go with the flow journey or trying your luck in the most interesting path that no one has ever thought before, becoming a blogger. And again, i must say thanks to Jesus to pick me the best and finest path of life i've never thought before.
