Speak m’boy!
I can type. I can write and I can think. Yet I’m extremely reluctant to create any worthwhile sites. What is it that actually stops me from doing anything productive? I seem to shy away from success every time it rears its head.
To be honest, I don’t really know what I want from life. Should I actually be striving for something? If so, what and why? I’ll meet next months targets, but come March 30th, I’ll still be miserable. I’ll still be striving for THAT something. It’ll never come or at least when it does it’ll buried under next month’s grand plan which will inevitably collapse on its ass.
I just don’t get the whole blogging thing really to me it’s incredibly incestous and the thought of having to lower myself anymore makes me sick to the stomach. I want to do it my way and if that means staying in the “little league” then I’m perfectly fine with that.
I can’t really be assed with the whole business of building a brand or a positive reputation. I just want to get out of here and experience things that I haven’t ever done before. It isn’t about a love for the industry or anything, it’s just a tool for survival. I’m semi competent with the computer and I’m looking for something else, as many of you are. I just want freedom. I don’t wanna exchange one paymaster for another.
I do like blogging here, but I can’t be anything other than I am and that’s really a lazy incompetent asshole. It’s my particular niche and it’s served me well over the last 23 years.

I have felt the same way at times. However, this is the quote I now live by:
Be content, but never satisfied.
I am frustrated that I have not achieved the success of people like Mark Zuckerberg. But think about how much dedication it takes to achieve that level of success. It is almost overwhelming and can lead some to believe that it’s impossible. So they give up. This is where being content comes in. Setting short-term goals, achieving those, and moving on. I have achieved many of my short-term goals, so I have felt good about my work and feel the motivation to move forward. Still though, I am so far from satisfied it is not even funny. I have so much I want to accomplish, and any time spent wondering why I’m not as successful as I want to be is wasted time. I believe one’s attitude day-to-day plays a large role in their short and long term success.

[...] If you’re a Take More Risks regular you might remember this little “blip” of form, from last Thursday night. At the time I couldn’t concentrate on anything. Everything I had created up to that point on the internet amounted to shit. It wasn’t good. Thankfully, I’ve since change my outlook thanks to the techniques I’ve outlined below. [...]

That’s quite a cool philosophy!
