Here's what can help: Everyone needs a plan B and realistic expectations from life:

The majority of businesses fail, you won't achieve everything at 26, you're not going to get rich, and being addicted to success and fame is not a good thing. Have a realistic plan B, a way to have a normal life like everyone else in the event that your ambitions expire.

My Plan B: Work at a grocery store like my brother, live with Mom & Dad. Plan C: Start an Alpaca farm if feasible, and live quietly in Idaho for the rest of my life.

Plan A: Find someone you love and who loves you, too. Plan B: Find someone who loves you, and love them.

That's pretty depressing. I'm just being honest.

For you that may be true. But billions of human beings live like this and find a way to be content and happy with their lives. If they can be happy with having little then maybe having little isn't depressing. Maybe your mindset is what's depressing.
