I'd like to preface this post by thanking anyone who takes time out of their day to read it, I'm fully aware that nobody owes me the favor of
giving me advice, nonetheless I find it pretty difficult to receive non scripted advice in my immediate social circles, so thank you beforehand for your invaluable insights.
My name is Francisco I was born in Venezuela but moved to Chile, and I'm 21 years old, I discovered MJs teachings about a year ago and I fully subscribe to the idea and the execution as far as what this life requires from us, I've executed (very poorly) some business ideas before such as starting a headlight cleaning business, I sold cinnamon rolls for a while, also started to cut hair, I stopped working on these and I've defaulted back to working my main job + doing deliveries on a motorcycle whilst listening to podcasts under the pretense of "wanting to buy a car and thereafter continue to pursue the fastlane" all in all I've been working 85+ hour workweeks over the past months, making roughly 850 USD per month (main job income plus the deliveries, minimum salary here is roughly 450usd per month)
Am I being an absolute moron by defaulting to being a time slave in the pursuit of a "car"?
I put the word in quotes because within me there's a fight between the me who's heart skips a beat when I think about owning a vehicle, which is something that'll definitely make me feel happy and in some sense it'll boost my confidence in the fact that I'd prove to myself I can achieve something through sheer hard work and also the other me who thinks that it's an empty pursuit and that im using it as a coping mechanism in the sense that for me it's easier to work long hours in something that is mind numbing rather than plunge myself back into the unknown road of entrepeneurship, which I have never abandoned, atleast not in the mental sense, for the seeds that have been implanted in my way of thinking ever since I discovered MJ have never disappeared and I honestly think they never will..
I also read recently the post MJ made about ditching the motorcycle, and I fully fully fully agree with the notion that it sucks to know your life can be ended because someone else isn't paying attention, it's something that I contend with everyday but so far I'm still alive, though it is definitely something I take into account when I think about the vehicle.
Thank you for reading once again, I fully appreciate it and I'll gladly read all your advice, if there is anything that i could so to help you in return please make sure to let me know and I'll do so!! Thank you thank you
