No, I'm just tired of subsisting off of leftover cold dominos pizza when I'm mildly lactose intolerant.

Find Yellow Deals at Walmart on their Marketside pizza. You can take home and freeze them for months.
Costs 1/4 of Dominos and tastes 1/2 as good.

I hear ya, I just turned 41 and have that same "if not now, when" kind of feeling right now.

This is where motivation comes from. You are in a bind, now fix it. Everyone ends up there at one point or another. Be appreciative for the things you do have and get to work getting out of this bind.

Next time around, now you know that houses aren't dreams, they're frickin' nightmares; and build in Johnston County, it's a lot cheaper out here.

I am really close to achieving my 10 year plan, although it has turned into a 12 year plan. But still I am very close, and I am fricking psyched about it.

But yeah, I feel sometimes whenever i try something new, it flops.

What is it? Don't die?

Sometimes but then I just beat off and it's not a big deal anymore.

Went to the monastery this weekend and visited the monk's living quarters. It was very humbling

How weird, i did the exact same thing this weekend. It was a major eye opener for me. I walked out of there checked my phone and thought to myself "Yep, I'd still rather live like Dan Bilzerian than be a monk"

Very humbling for me

We have had only 45 presidents in our countrys history, but millions dream of becoming that. There are only a handful of hall of fame athletes, but even more millions dream of that. Same could be said of any profession. In reality, what people 'dream' about gets short-circuited in almost every situation, and then a lesser 'dream' takes its place

Set realistic goals

And you will be far, far happier, than chasing a dream -


Good thing Tom Brady never shared your philosophy!

Ever feel you can't achieve or afford your dreams?

there's a reason why they're called dreams

I still have 40 years until I get close to my goal. Just building up to it day by day.

And could very well get hit by a truck tomorrow. The American Dream turns into the American nightmare for most who pursue it. It is conditioned into you from birth so that you will spend, spend, spend. The ones who really benefit are at the top of the financial food chain. We weren't put on this Earth to be endless consumers although that seems to be what most Americans think the goal in life should be.

Goals and dreams are things that people create for life to crush. The sooner you accept that, the happier you'll be.
