you aren't lost. you've just developed the habit of waiting for permission, and now you constantly want to be told what to do. you ignore the voice in your head that knows the answer until it's echoed by someone else.
If you're a young ambitious dude, you're going to feel alone, a lot
Isolated from parents & close friends. Such is the way of the game.
Don't blame them or get resentful with them. They aren't holding you back. You are holding yourself back by playing losing games. Waiting for /attempting to get the approval of people who cannot comprehend what you see
Best thing you can do for yourself is to stop trying to make everyone around you ambitious as well. Not how life works. You can never turn the non-ambitious to ambitious, you can only find ambitious people & do ambitious things with them.
U r the one changing & evolving, not them. 99% of people want to avoid all risk & live in comfortable bliss. U won't be able to fathom this, but that is okay. U r built different & just have 2 double down on your own uniqueness
Best thing you can do for yourself is to refuse to allow your inner voice to die. The one that is telling you that you COULD achieve great things, once you figure out where and how to expend your limitless energy
THAT voice is "correct" (if you will it to be so), & all "logical opinions" of small-minded thinkers around you are not
All an ambitious person does on the way up is prove themselves right, over & over again. Perpetually getting closer & closer to self.
U have U for the time being, & that is enough
The paradox of entrepreneurship:
In order to get started, you need to hate repetition enough to take the leap. In order to win, you need to love repetition enough to never stop.
Having a job is like owning .0001 % of a memecoin where you and 100 others work your bags the hardest, the dev owns 97% of the supply and only he is allowed to sell.
If you saw my vid today you then why I am pumped to have announce I have officially partnered and come on with an advisor at @playoffthegrid creators @GunzillaGames AND they have just joined @NeoTokyoCode.
Bar none, I think this project with AAA gameplay + the smoother web3 onboarding I've seen has an incredible shot at being one of or THE breakthrough game that get's this to the masses.
So short to say...I'm quite giddy to advising and to see them inside the citadel, LFG.
