I think it's a good thing that I'm having this quarterlife crisis. I've gone through a range of emotions (anger, frustration, discontentment, sadness), but after having an epiphany, I'm starting to have more hope and be more motivated. My discontentment at where I am is driving me to move forward. However, I know I somehow have to keep this motivation longer than it usually lasts. Usually, I get excited and motivated about something, but not long into it, the motivation dies out and I go back to being my normal self. This time, I really need to focus.
I've decided to be a hermit and try to not go out that often for a while. I'm going to test out how much more productive I can be if I don't go out on the weekends and be online less. (*sigh* We'll see if I can resist the temptations). Sorry in advance to my friends, but it's time for me to be a bit selfish and focus on working on myself.
The other day I was on someone's photography site and saw a quote that hit me real hard. It said, "While most are dreaming of success, winners wake up and work hard to achieve it". I realized that is so true. Being success requires hard work and sacrifices, so it's about time I work at it.
My friend had sent me a link to this youtube video about this guy giving a talk. He owned his family's wine business and quit to do his own thing because he was 1% unhappy with what he was doing. I wish I had that kind of courage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EhqZ0RU95d4
