My friends invited me to go do something fun with them tonight. As usual, I turned them down. It's tough because I know they think I'm a flake or that I'm aloof or something. I want to have friends and I want to have fun, but the reality is I am totally in debt and totally need a better job.
So I sacrifice.
It's really tough, but if I can't have friends or do fun things until I get my life under control, so be it. I don't have the luxury of time or money. I've been doing a lot of job interviews lately, and working hard to get out of the mess that I'm in.
In 10 years' time, having pulled myself out of poverty by working hard and making sacrifices will give my life meaning (assuming I don't get hit by a bus). In 10 years' time, having spent many an evening playing video games and drinking beer with my friends probably will not.
Don't be discouraged by giving up that which you want. Animal urges do not take precedence over self-cultivation and productivity.
You know the path you are on, and others do not. Stay on the path you have chosen for yourself.
Go, go, go.
Fight, fight, fight.
Be awesome.
