One Trick Pony

[WJK]

Thank you @WJK ! This reminds me of something that I actually just thought of.

When I was younger, I was a gamer. I LOVED playing XBox.

Looking back, the creators of these games structure them like life, with tasks, and checkpoints.

It's pretty eye opening thinking about it, I'm not sure why I ever felt bad for myself for being so far away from where I want to be.

My character in games I played always started out with nothing and through the process of baby steps and small tasks, always won in the end.

Maybe structuring life exactly like a video game is something to look into..


I've heard this a lot and not going to lie, I've got those massive material dreams.

I have a feeling regardless of how much money I accumulate, I'll have the same realization you've had eventually.

But as of right now I use those goals as fuel and motivation. Maybe I won't care much for the houses and cars life in 20 years, but all those material possessions along with a drive to make a difference in the world motivate me right now.

I feel like without wanting those things the fire wouldn't be as big as it is right now inside, so I use it to my advantage

You can have massive dreams. But IF you really want any of it, you will get it by completing your baby steps. Until you do the work, it is a dream -- not a goal. You must break it down into benchmarks and baby steps to breathe life into it. I have gone further and done more than I ever dreamed of when I was young. Women in my generation had few choices. Now the world is my oyster. I must have been born under a lucky star to be living during this time period.
