My name is Aiden, i am 29 years old.
As I sit here at my slow lane desk job barely paying attention to the gossip going on between my co workers while the boss is out at lunch, i feel excitement.
I have $100 left in my bank account until next week (just finished paying my car registration), I have 15K in debt (due to my idiotic years on the sidewalk) and am barely paying my rent.
Normal people might see me as crazy for still being happy or excited about my life. Now don't get me wrong i am not happy about my past choices which put me in this position, I am happy because i know things are going to change because I am going to make them change.
I don't know what my future holds for me but i do know that when i look back at my life in 10-20 years i will see this exact point as a crossroad that paved a particular path to a new way of thinking, living and learning.
Everyday i walk around looking at things from a perspective of "how can i improve this" or "is this need being met", I see this as a shift in my conscious thinking from a consumer to producer.
When I would see someone driving past me in a new Porsche or Mercedes i would think to myself "man, why cant i be that guy", now i think "I will be that guy".
I have dozens of ideas popping up in my head, I am going to take action on at least a few of them and I am hoping this forum will help me in my progression to make these ideas into a reality. In turn i promise to return the favour in helping other people in their progression of ideas to reality in anyway i can.
Thank you @MJ DeMarco for the book.
