<div class="bbWrapper">I'm still a new poster here, and am by no, NO means fastlane. I'm in the slowlane trying to escape at the moment, but I'm still going to give my $0.02 on this because yes, as mentioned before it's all about perspective. <br />

Being on sidewalk sucks so much. And because I live in a wealthy city makes it worst. Waiting for the bus and walking by foot is the worst feeling on earth when all the people around you drives a F*cking beautiful mercedes benz. And then you enter the bus and you see tired people and no one is smiling. The last time I just wanted to smash the window. And I can't even drive a car because of chronic pain. It is just not acceptable. And all the fancy restaurants which I cannot go eat. So I have no choice but to be a fastlane or leave the city and live in a less expensive city.<br />
<br />
That being said I am researching a product which consist of a mix of essential oils and some health supplements. I am testing some things to have more energy during the day.

Read the first part of your post- about your environment. Dude, all those things you dislike are <b>SIGNS</b>. Signals you should be picking up on telling you "hey, I don't like this, I'm going to change it. I <b>have</b> to change it." YOU. Do what others aren't, get on the bus full of the sad, glum faces and smile because you're going to do what it takes to get off the bus. <br />
<br />
The other part about the Mercedes Benz driving citizens. Like another poster mentioned in here, ILLUSION. Don't be an illusionist, man. I know a guy who drives a $100k Mercedes AMG and he probably has about as much money in the bank as I do (not much). It reminds me of my (slowlane) job... I'll have clients who show me their bank statements, pay statements etc. Bank accounts- overdrawn. Pay statements - minimum wage, and complaining about how the government holds them down. Yet, they're wearing shoes that cost probably $100 more than mine, their all swiping through Instagram on their $800 phones, they're wearing all this designer shit yet they came in on the bus. The point is, most of those who have all the "it's", don't really have. Someone else does. The bank owns the car/house/etc. <br />
<br />
To me, you're focusing too much on events and not enough on process. I understand you have chronic pain, but the world doesn't owe you. The world doesn't owe me, it didn't owe MJ. Only you can figure out the solution to the problem. Focus on your process to reach the event. You mentioned moving to a cheaper city, which may be good, but don't let it lead to another slowlane mask. I live in the Bay Area of California, man, tell me about expensive. But, I won't just up & move yet, I've gotta pay due to the process to get to the event. <br />
<br />
In closing, I'm not trying to come off as a jerk, or even as a "guru" (I'm actually quite the opposite, total schmuck), just trying to give you another way of looking at it. I would have said "hey, be positive, good things will come" but that's the candy bar b.s. way of looking at it. <br />
I hope you have some take aways from all the replies, if not, a total mindset revamp is needed. Don't take critique badly, use it as a tool.<br />
<br />
Cheers.</div>
