What's standing between you and your dreams ?

I know it’s a foolish dream. But I’ll NEVER give it up. I just don’t care. NYC, LA, Portland, or a 100 souls village smack dab in the middle of nowhere, one day I’m going to live in the USA. I was made for this country. I’ve never belonged in France. Never felt at home. All my life I’ve been desperately trying to escape. Managed for a bit, 3 years in London, 4 months in Montreal, but the call is haunting me. I need to go live in the USA. Wish we could exchange

 

Not a foolish dream at all - I'm just a local who has spent too much time here, haha.

I like the energy. But a story, if you will.

When I was a child, the Power Rangers TV show was one of my favorite things to watch. Being a poor kid with too much free time, it sucked up a lot of hours of my indoors time.

Well, one day, I was walking into a toy store with my mother. There, among the shelves of action figures was an entire set of Power Rangers robots. I was trilled, beyond belief, and begged my mother to buy it for me. Truly, there was nothing in the world that I wanted more than that set, but seeing how poor we were, she couldn't buy it.

I was so upset. I cried myself to sleep that night because I really wanted that thing. Needed it.

Skip ahead two months. It's Christmas now and there I was, opening up that very same box of robots. I thanked my parents to high heaven and began playing with them.

After an hour of playing with the toys I so wanted, convinced myself I needed, I grew bored with them and tossed them aside.

If you read all of that - thanks, friend. And thanks for the words.

 

Hang in there, brother. Solid Snake was one of my heroes growing up.

 

Fear of failure and laziness

 

OURSELVES

 

Age, poverty, and a whole lot of other depressing stuff.

Yes, I wasted 7 years trying to pursue this one particular dream of mine. I failed to reach my goals, not because I lacked the effort or skils, but because I didn't have proper financial support structure to continue to the next stage. I won't disclose what it was, since I am trying to erase the memories from that chunk of my life. I shouldn't have responded to this thread, maybe. But, if you want to believe my words, than yes, I have tried everything in my own personal control and it wasn't enough.

Bah! All they charge is exorbitant prices for simple cliche advices. Rare good ones may exist, but so far, from my own experience and from other people's, most of them are word mincing charlatans. Anyway, I don't wanna discuss this further. It's not a happy topic for me.

1 billion dollars cash

 

I want a sack of gummy bears and it’s raining outside.

 

sure lottery tickets lol

 

Fucking brain fog

 

If I could get my wife to move, I’d love to live in France. Tired of big cities in U.S.

Keep looking for remote jobs with us-companies. Maybe one day they will give you an opportunity.

My dream is I’ve never really had one. I’m a wanderer. I wish I had big dreams. I did just fulfill a childhood dream of owning a sports car. Sure I would love to live in Asia for a period of time, travel the world.

What I really need is to quit PMO so I can have more intimate marriage with wife and we can live our best lives together. We have a 90% great marriage with our PMO and food addictions, but I know there’s more waiting if I can quit PMO.

 

Crippling self-sabotage

 

Weakness and addiction to comfort. Lack of ability to see it clearly and plan it out. Apathy. Fear. Selfishness and lack of perspective. Negativity!
