it's always easier said than done but in history character defining moments have always come out of distinct or implicit struggles and hardships. if you can overcome and refocus your mental state then you will most certainly prevail. i think i've doled out a lot of advice to people in the past but i've never really had someone to give that advice to me when i needed it. i think the time is now for me to go out there and actually practice what i preach.
there are a lot of what ifs and could have beens in the world today and although money isn't everything, it is a good litmus test of how far you were able to push yourself in the capitalistic world we've (i've) been thrust into.
would i be happy just grinding out a 9-5 day job that gives no satisfaction at the end of the day? assuredly not. so then the only other option is to step up and realize the opportunity that has been offered to you and take full advantage while you can. in order to advance, it will not be about doing things correctly or even most efficiently in the beginning. i believe the most important thing will be moving forward in the face of adversity and continually grinding out the day to day even when you feel you are sitting stagnant.
do this for yourself and do this without anyone having to die of emphysema before you realize what's neccesary.
