Greetings!
The forum landing page suggested I introduce myself if I want to get the most out of the forum. Seeing I’m not very comfortable sharing myself, here goes.
I decided to join the fastlane forum as I was half way through reading UNSCRIPTED , and I want to change my life.
I’m almost 40 now and I don’t have anything to show for it. I have an incredible girlfriend who’s been with me through thick and thin, but not much else. I don’t own property, investments and I don’t have a career. I work long hours during the day as a forkie and I work at night stacking shelves at a supermarket.
I don’t have time to pursue my passion, which is music and digital art. This isn’t the circumstance I would want to start a family in, let’s put it that way.
So as I’m reading MJ’s books I get angry. I realise I’ve wasted many years on fruitless endeavours and frivolous entertainment/procrastination. And work. I’m angry because I am an individual who does not respond well to authority, and yet here I am more servile than ever. I work my a$$ off and pay taxes and for what? So I can keep working? Barely getting ahead just to be pulled back because modern society and banks need me financially indebted? Keep breaking my back so I can make my employers life easier? Nope, no way. I’m done. I want a future. I want choice. I want to decide what I do with my time. I want to live a fulfilling life that contributes something to the world, and I’m gonna do it whilst I still have the energy and the will.
So I’m hoping I can learn a thing or two from individuals who are walking their own path, and who are successful, or motivated enough to effect positive change in this world. I’m also basically calling myself out, in a way.
That’s where I’m at right now.
Thank you for taking the time to read this.
