Welcome to the rest of your life!

Have you spent your life living second-hand? Living through others or for others? Is there an emptiness or regret inside you when you are alone? Do you dream of success and self-satisfaction? Do you have a deep well of creativity inside you which is bursting to surge to the surface, but you can’t release it?

You’ve come to just the right place at First-Hand Life.

Sacrifice is in our DNA

Most people in developed countries are indoctrinated in other notions that it is admirable to make sacrifices for others. Sacrificing is in our blood. The ancients in Greece, the Middle East and Rome made sacrifices regularly to appease the gods or when a King died. They might sacrifice an animal or a human being as the Incas in South America did.

Wearing the Masks of Social Approval

We all seek approval from our peers. We all want to be famous and respected. But society demands that we behave in a certain way, which sometimes goes against the grain. The structure of traditional work – training, getting qualifications, and working towards promotion – is an unpleasant necessity for many people. This conspiracy that we all have to work to live means that many of us can spend between 30 and 50 years devoting ourselves to an hourly wage to line someone else’s pocket. At the end of this marathon, we collapse with exhaustion – burnout – and find that all our toil has produced little except status and material support to live comfortably: a house, a car, children in college, some respect!

Neglecting our loved ones and passions

Full-time work gives us little time or energy for our families or friends. We neglect our hobbies and suppress our passionate interests. It dominates our lives – the average person spends 60-70% of their adult life at work. In honesty, most of us are poorly paid slaves toiling away to keep our families afloat and save money for our retirement. But once we retire, recovering from this imprisonment affects our health adversely, so we cannot truly enjoy our release.

The Internet is our future

With the word as it is – wars and conflicts breaking out everywhere, corruption and crime on the increase, pandemics and natural disasters wiping whole communities out – we must ensure that we have a place on the Internet. In times of chaos, this is the one place we can find a safe refuge, and it is becoming safer and safer through websites like this one.

If you have developed some computer skills during your second-hand life, that’s wonderful! But if you haven’t, don’t worry. The perfect training can be yours at the press of a button at no cost. If you don’t have a PC, no worries either. Your smartphone will get you started, and then you can move towards getting your own computer, which will make your new digital identity easier to spread.

The author, Ayn Rand, was the champion of living first-hand, for yourself and of your thoughts, creativity and judgements. She said through one of her characters, Howard Roarke:

“I could die for you. But I couldn’t and wouldn’t, live for you.”

The Fountainhead

Living first-hand and finding true happiness in self-satisfaction and self-fullness allows us to be much more compassionate with others.

True Lasting Happiness

Every human being is searching to find true happiness. That’s what we all have in common, and in a way, that is what unites us as the human race. Perhaps you can remember how you feel or felt when you were engrossed in your hobby or passion. You feel great and powerful, whole, content. So, I will introduce you to a simple and cheap way to rekindle that passion and earn a living online. You can easily become an expert in your chosen niche and communicate directly with others who share your passion or enjoyment.
