I was given by God the opportunity of being young when I discovered you can become a millionaire at a young age without selling drugs or embezzling government money.
Looking back, I had the chance to read TMF 5 years ago when I was still young, and it shifted my whole mindset about what money is. It introduced this engineering way of explaining money and business that is logical and methodical.
I have access to a forum of entrepreneurs who share and engage with people on a daily basis. Even crazier, the admin of this forum is a legit multi-millionaire who engages and replies to threads.
I got to start a few businesses, some never took off, others gained momentum only to crash back to zero. All within those five years..
I started over and went the solo route, focusing on programming and being equipped with prior knowledge in business, sales, and human interactions.
And Yet here I am, every day operating like a “reversion to the sidewalk.”
Some of these changes have clear “whys”:
First, nothing seems worth it anymore—or worth sacrificing for. I’m just living day to day. I’m not depressed; I still enjoy my moments, people interactions, hygiene, and so on.
The family I was ready to sacrifice my youth for doesn’t fuel me the way it once did.
A beautiful, sustainable lifestyle doesn’t move me either… though if someone handed me a million dollars tomorrow, would I say no?
That burning obsession that come from the rage against inflation, governments robbing us in suits, the lack of freedom, not having the means to help others has simply evaporated.
I’ve already tasted some of the “hard” phase: the sacrifices, the relentless effort. But no one warned me about the “empty” phase that can follow. Maybe this is what being crushed by the hard part feels like.
I wanted to share this with you, the Unscripted -minded—this fog in my head. Every psychologist I see just says "burnout".
And at the end of it all, thank God for everything.

- Why am I talking politics with people when I never used to?
- Why am I eating junk food when I know better?
- Why am I leveling up virtual characters when I know I should be leveling up myself?
- Why am I not taking action when I know the other side is worth it once i bridge the gap?
- Why can’t I force myself to run for 30 minutes when I used to do 5 MMA sessions a week?
- Why have I become allergic to everything that is hard, looks hard, or even sounds hard but only for things that i had tried before ?
