Generally, "following your passion/dreams" is bad advice for the average person. The typical guy wants to get married, have kids, a big house in the suburbs and an Audi.

These are all obstacles getting in the way of your dreams. For the MGTOW man, time is the most valuable asset. You don't need to impress women, so money is less enticing. You can choose to bust ass and retire early, or you can work in more fulfilling jobs for less pay.

By leaving the plantation, you've decided to look out for the meaning of your OWN existence.
