| >Trying to build a business on the side. The comfort of the current job makes it difficult to put the work into building a business eh. > I don't like working with people anymore. I hate the mental constraints of 9-5, hence I'm trying to build a business. That's not going to work out for you. Businesses require you to interact with people. >Most days feel like groundhog day. I'm not depressed. I train regularly (4-5 times a week), I don't abuse alcohol and never touched drugs. Good ole midlife crisis. Not exactly depression but it might as well be. >I did big change in my life recently: quit my soul crashing job, went to travel for extended period, moved to a different country, found a different job. It was fun while it lasted, but now I'm back to the same place I tried to escape back then, albeit in a different physical location and work place. You're seeking purpose. this might help: https://80000hours.org/career-guide/ >I have a comfortable life, nor luxury, neither poverty. Other than sport and building my business, I don't have any other hobbies or goals I pursuit. I'm in a relationship. I feel like I tick all "middle class" boxes, and yet I'm unhappy. I get scared when I realize that this is my life for the next 30-40 years. Yep. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vifg2LgF_ic What you're discovering is that you're not going to be in the 5%ers, the financially independent category. This statistic got worse since this video published. It's now more of a 1%er group and everyone blames the system, but that's completely wrong. >I want to change something but I don't know what. Anyone been in similar situation and was able to escape? You're thinking, wow i'm never going to be more of a success than i am right now. You have conformed to the 'middle class'. You chose this. There is no competition in our society. you can be whatever you want to be, so long as your helping others and trying your hardest. The greater the # of people you can help, the better. |
