Hope everyone is doing well.
Been on and off the forums for the last couple of months but I'm back to stay.
About a year back upon graduating high school I would wake up every morning, jump out of bed, and get going.. Feeling motivated and ready to help and add value to everything and everyone in my path. With this ambitious motivation came this other feeling that is a bit harder to explain, the type of feeling in the back of your mind that you have no doubt that whatever route you take in life, you will do great things.
Fast forward to about 2 months ago, this feeling in the back of my head that propelled me through my everyday tasks and went nowhere despite 2 failed ventures, was slowly going away. The good part; I felt it.
This unstoppable attitude stayed with me at work as it aligned with goals of becoming the best god damn employee the company has ever had. Being promoted various times in the year and a half of being there and now working side by side and even overseeing people that could be my parents had me earning more money than both of mine combined.
Where I was mentally slowing down was in my ventures. I slowly analyzed every change in my life to see what was the trigger that was slowly making me feel comfortable and making me lose that feeling in the back of my mind that I missed very much. My conclusion is that being constantly rewarded as an employee combined with my full time classes had created a sense of comfortability where I would reward myself for my hard work as an employee and student by 'relaxing' for a day. Going against my values of not letting a day pass by where I don't do something that would put me closer to my goals, this slowly became the new ritual and the reason why I was getting off track. It even got to the point where I was avoiding the forums because I subconsciously knew that I wasn't performing as I should.
Having pin pointed the actions causing me to 'lose it', they were quickly corrected and today I am feeling great again. I feel like I am a new person. However, a bit of self doubt remains.
How do you guys handle over analyzing?
Balancing full time school, work, and doing something that will put me to closer to my ultimate goal of withdrawing $5 million dollars on my 25th birthday and handing it to my parents has me doubting and over analyzing everything. With very limited free time, the paralysis of going forward with an idea that isn't the greatest and could result in a waste of time causes me not to do anything.
In regards to money: Being very strict with what is being earned, I have finally been able to reach almost 5 figures in savings in a year despite monthly bills that can't be avoided.
I would love to invest anything and everything into something that I can dedicate my life to and grow but feel like it's impossible to not over analyze.
Thank you so much for reading. Didn't mean for it to get so long.
