Not going into specifics but I found out recently that I've been permanently shut out of my dream career. Realize this is bitch-mode but I'm downright destroyed over this. Drinking slightly more than usual. No motivation for anything. Really in a dark place now.
Have any of you been dealt such shitty, life-altering news? How did you deal?
I'm limited in that I've learned if I don't have a passion for something I usually quit or fail. And so few things interest me enough to dedicate my life to them. I do have at least a little time on my side since I'm 31.
Anyone who has no passion for something quits or fails not just you.
You have a few things that interest you enough to dedicate your life to them? Really? Most people cant think of one thing let alone more than one thing.
And yes, the only people not being dealt blows are people that are not fighting to move up in life.
Get rid of the drinking and all that other BS, realize time fly's, you are 31 now and before you know it you are 41. Delete all social media, take a break of this site and get rid of all distractions on your phone and all negative friends. Make a clear WRITTEN not MENTAL note of goals and go for it relentlessly.
Realize that the majority of this planet have nothing, only a tiny few percent are worth anything, the chances are stacked against you in every way possible, so you can either follow what works or try your own little way, something you did till now.
Become a cold hard person, become a selfish human, do not care about anything and anyone until your goal is achieved. Remember, as bad as this sounds now, if you do not do this you wont have what to give anyone anyway. At least if you are temporarily a selfish prick, maybe you will amount to something and be able to share things with society in the future.
Right now it should be only about you, only about what someone can do for you, that is it, if no benefit to you and fast do not communicate or waste time. Weak soft people live a life of sorrow and pain, yeah they get people retweeting their garbage quotes but they can barely pay for their internet.
