This post is not related to business and is in a way emotional. Even though I feel weird sharing it on this forum, it's better than keeping everything inside, I guess.
I just have one of these stupid moments when I look at other slowlaners who work, have girlfriends, cars etc...and feels so fuarking crap. Probably it's jealousy, but then again, I have enough money to buy a decent looking car and sustain my lifestyle, I just don't do it. I don't do it because I see money as an army of soldiers that will help me win the battle of freedom; therefore I save money and invest in my business ventures.
It just feels crap to be different. Most people partying, spending money/time on their other 'halfs', going on vacations etc. I have some friends and seeing girls, but it just feels that I don't have anything to offer at the moment to them (i.e. cool car, house etc). Sometimes it feels so lonely... I usually come across strong, I regularly provide emotional assistance/motivation to many friends and have a reputation of being an emotionally strong guy - maybe that's why nobody ever ask me if I am okay.
When everybody party, I study. When they spend money on girlfriends and cars, I spend money on books, seminars and product prototypes. When they watch TV and cuddling with their girlfriends, I listen to motivational music and work my a$$ off until 5am on my business.
Even though sometimes I just want to don't exist and disappear forever, I know it's not a choice. Maybe it's my destiny that I have this kind of mindset, a mindset that forbids me from kneeling to social norms and being average. I know, I am not average, I just don't know whether it's good or bad. I know just one thing - I will never surrender fighting the war of freedom...
Thank you for reading.
