„Don’t worry about pursuing love, status and luxury. Better to have a community of good friends, work for yourself, and spend part of each day thinking.“ - Epicurus

How would one go (at least theoritically) about achieving this?

For myself, I got the thinking part, mightily struggle with the community of good friends part (dont have much going on and since not much is happening, I am not too great of a company to get in contact with more often than once in ages). I am out of my depths on the working part. Sounds lovely, but I dont have much more than office skills, if that. Plus I seriously lack any real-life-applicable-creativity, to become entrepreneur (and as noted, dont have the skills to freelance/consult). Working my own field or something is out of the picture.

I thought were to post it. Decided it would be better here than in some super general subreddit.
