You have to find what you want to do in life and pursue it at all costs.
Too many people are satisfied with just having a job and putting food in the table and a roof over their families' heads.
Too many people LIKE to struggle through in life. I grew up in rust belt cities (Flint, Detroit, Gary, Buffalo) where the struggle is the epitome of people's lives. They know they will lose, but will go down fighting. You still end up down.
Too many adults choose pride over responsibility.
I have had so many people I worked with who just want their bills paid. That's it. No dreams, no goals, no direction.
Just do a 9 to 5 job and attempt to satisfy others for an hourly raise.
If your happiness is dependant upon an employer or somebody else, you're doing it wrong.
I know lots of unhappy wealthy people. Material goods only temporarily satisfy. Your wealth should be a result of what you enjoy doing, not causation. I own a relatively highly modified Challenger that I worked my ass for. It got tiresome after about a month.
I had had enough and now I do what I want to do. No, it isn't private posing or selling used soiled muscleman panties.
