I wished I could find a real good money making opportunity. All it takes is the right attitude and lots of hard work.
Sometimes it feels like everyone around me has found the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow and I'm left to watch on the sidelines. They've got the right attitude and put in lots of hard work.
Maybe this is just more angst coming out. Angst can be prevented with the right attitude and lots of hard work.
Maybe I have to wait until I turn 40 to get anything out of life. If that's the case, can someone put me in a cryogenic freeze and wake me up when I get there? Unfortunately, the reason you'll have accomplished so much by the time you're 40 is because you will have learned how to have the right attitude and have put in a lot of hard work. Cryogenically freezing you for 20 years will not change any of that. You'd be just as lazy and angsty then as you are now, only at that point way behind the power curve, because it will take you another 20 years to catch up.
I could settle down if I knew that the money would

Tough one, to be sure. I think once you unfuck yourself you'll do great things. And yes, your age is a factor insofaras you want everything for nothing. No worries, its your entire generation. But you're better than they are. All you have to do is work past that shit, and you'll be right as rain.
Life bites you in the butt sometimes. The difference between losers and winners is losers complain,, complain some more, complain even more, look to others for help and blame others for their state when nothing seems to change. The winners complain, adapt, push on, stay focused, and realize only they can make it happen.
Make it happen, or be a loser. It is amazing how much help you will get once you start sounding like you believe in yourself.
I have seriously considered the Air Force. I haven't entirely pushed it out of my mind...
And it is incredibly, really difficult to work all day and then come home and be creative. It is really a task, so don't be hard on yourself about that at all.
I am amazed at a friend of mine who works full-time, has a wife and four kids, and still manages to illustrate like the wind and write wonderful books. He is my inspiration when I think I'm tired or can't do it. It doesn't always spur me into action, but it helps - to me - to know that others do in fact succeed.
I've been off work for a few months now. I have written very, very little. I've turned my mind to other creative outlets instead. Being creative and surviving on that creativity is hard. :/
I have seriously considered the Air Force. I don't know you well enough, so I don't know how to react. Joining the Air Force does seem, however, counterintuitive to entering the motion picture business.
And it is incredibly, really difficult to work all day and then come home and be creative. It is really a task I have already taken these words to heart. Thank you for sharing.
...so don't...in fact succeed. See, that's just the thing. If I wasn't hard on myself I wouldn't produce anything. As much as I hate to say that he's right, ehowton does make a point when he says that nothing but hard work pays off.
Being creative and surviving on that creativity is hard. That's why we call it talent and idolize those who do.
Um, that's my point entirely. My friend Travis has to work his ass off to illustrate and write (http://beanleafpress.com). He has to come home from a day job, spend some time with his family, and make himself sit down and work. Lately, even doing so with an injured hand. It also helps that he has solid support from his family.
So I admire him, and he is inspiration for me when I think I can't do it (writing).

Seriously, is this just an age thing or do you really think I'm a worthless fuck?
