he's right but its really hard to not die a little inside every time you fail, especially if it is something you are extremely passionate about.

imo you can lose the emotional enthusiasm as long as you trust your process and stick to your guns. it'll eventually come back when life throws you a bone.

always do the work. always work hard.

With that being said however America is the GOAT because you can fail 99 times out of a 100 but if you are successful that one time you are a success.

Love the message here and all of us can relate in someway or some level.

I currently make ~$105k gross (after bonuses and overtime), but applied to another job at another company which would've been a bump to like $140k gross without overtime. Would've been a learning curve though because it's a little off-scope from my current job's day-to-day. Lots of good friends working there, fun guys who spark enthusiasm and competitiveness. I interviewed, but was hungover from the night before, and dropped the ball on several technical questions and ever since then I've been kinda reminding myself of those easy questions and their obvious answers lol.

My enthusiasm remains at similar levels, but I'm regretful of how sloppy that was.

Oh well, I'm young, 26, will find another big move before I'm 30 I bet. Just gotta keep hustling and bettering myself.

I've found myself largely comfortable at my job lately, which causes a more relaxing day-to-day, but as everyone knows comfort breeds stagnance.

Finding Chad consists of going from cock to cock without loss of enthusiasm
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

“The best argument against democracy is a five-minute conversation with the average voter.”

He kind of had a based philosophy though. Think about how true that quote is today

I thought you said you were working help desk for 15/hour and considering doing a data entry job full-time at the same time.

Or am I confusing you for another miscer?
