bein unable to enjoy life cuz you want so much more out of it unappreciation

[you're NOT "n!ggas"]

what is it exactly that you want out of life? More opportunity, more money, more women, more freedom?

all the above??? i feel like i should clarify though cuz i think i'm puttin some people under the impression that i just HATE my life or some shyt. that aint the case at all, i'm talkin bout bein antsy... waitin on that major moment of gratification. and i think imma get it once i graduate and get a full time job. but then i got goals beyond that i wanna achieve. but this aint the same as me beatin myself up though, i'm talkin bout glossin over the shyt happenin NOW cuz i'm caught up with what imma do in the future.

That " tommorows not promised" talk is unhealthy. Yeah we all can be gone tommorow but that don't mean dont prepare for the future just incase we are promised tmrw.


Example.

Allen iverson lived his life with the " tmrws not promised" mentality so he splurged all his cash and is dead broke now. Well his tommorow WAS promised and what does he have to show for it?

I am 23 and I got my life mapped out up until the age of 28, now is it all gonna go be as smooth as I'm hoping? Probably not. But theirs nothing wrong with having a plan in life and planning for the future, as long as you dont let that thinking consume your day to day activities.

Ima hit y'all off with two quotes my moms told me during the days I felt like dropping out of university.

"you sacrifice a few years living how a majority of your friends aren't willing to live, so u can spend the rest of your life living how a majority of them can't"

" yeah we're not promised tmrw, but just in case we are, you wanna make sure your ready for it"

nothing wrong w wanting more, but it's important to keep a balanced perspective. you can't get stuck constantly looking up at people that have what you don't and forget about the people below who don't have what you do.

my focus aint on what other people have that i don't, its what i don't have that i feel i deserve or could've and should've had. the more i think about it i think alot of this derives from the fact that honestly, up until i adopted this kinda mindstate, i been a major underachiever. i ALWAYS i known i could do/be more and settled for less. but these days i feel like... why would ever settle for anything less of what you see in yourself??? its been on ever since
