Day 16
Hello, this thread is for me to continuously update everyday in a bid to ensure i am always returning and never giving up. Also, hopefully, eventually be another one of the countless success stories on the forum.
I am notorious for giving something up when it starts to get difficult but i also threw myself into a great depression due to feeling as if i wasn't going anywhere with my life (this was while i was passing my Mechanical Engineering course). With this i stupidly threw myself into weed to relieve myself of the stress but ultimately i began to fall away form university and then i really had nothing going for me. It was in this state i took a step back and with the gut-wrenching fear of truly amounting to nothing i turned the year around with only 3 months till exams. However, the 12-hour shifts at the library proved pointless as during the next semester i began falling away from uni for the third time however this time instead of being depressed about the path i was on (the scripted life) i instead found myself sunk into books such as 'how to win friends and influence people' and more importantly 'UNSCRIPTED '. This gave my life new light and overwhelming clarity. I quit my course and am now pursuing the only life that will ever truly satisfy me.
To combat my severely poor productivity and focus i have started a youtube channel to blog progress and this thread to post what's easier written than said.
**edit**
i would like to add that i do not have any special skill set and that this is genuinely my 16th day working towards my goal. For the most part the start of the process will be me working on myself to increase my work ethics and productivity but to also research markets and find areas i can focus my innovative mind on and perhaps create value in someone else's life.
