Past couple of weeks iv just been goin thru a lil mental shift. Iv been doin a lot of personal introspection, meditation and just seeking knowledge that pertains to things out of this physical realm. Perhaps u could say I'm on my philosophical ? right now.

It then dawned on me that I'm really not living life to my greatest potential. Theres so much I can actually achieve if I really discipline myself and make the necessary effort to achieve but for whatever reason, I just find myself procrastinating, not giving that much effort or being complacent in a few areas. Don't get me wrong, I'm doin much better than most my peers and @ 25 u could say I'm on track but I seriously feel that I should be much much further in life than I already am.

Like example, mayb u are a great musician. U have written songs and have been making music in private for over a decade. U know u better than most these artists in the industry but for some reason u just have never mustered the courage to go record a demo album and showcase ur skills to the world. Mayb this is u..u kno, everyday goin by with great music inside u waiting to b unleashed, yet..u just never seem reach a breakthrough. But u know deep down that if u were given the chance, u wud be the GOAT. Some of u know wat I'm talking about here.

What about u tho? Are u where u SUPPOSED to b in life?

    Definitely, not yet. But I have the ability, means, and path to do so. All I need to do is firmly put my foot down. Sometimes it's intimidating knowing the implications...

    No. I was supposed to be a graphic designer at the this point in my life or doing something with art/video/photography. I got comfortable (lazy) working these "decent" paying jobs and feel into a routine.

    I haven't done any artwork in like 4 years and I was raw.

    I'm getting there, but there is no such thing as overnight success for most people unless you're born into wealth for most of us it's a result of long days and hours of hardwork and smart decision making.

    ? naw, but I'm on my way there, never stopped. At 26, I've already got the basics covered with a house, car and a full time job, and zero debt. But it's not about the basics now, I wanna live large, luxury lifestyle, I'm comfortable now but I wanna be wealthy, buy ? for friends and family, not just stack for myself, in order to do that, I need to step it up big time. ? living dormant, I'm gonna live enormous, life is too short for anything less. I want complete financial freedom and that's the only way I want it.

    How do u know if they aren't retired multi-millionairs who are sitting comfy on a beachfront mansion tho? A person like that can spend allday on the IC and still living up to their greatest potential..
