The earlier you realize you're going to be a failure in life the better. :)

I'm not saying being a bum, but not achieve really any of your dreams or aspirations. America and society has made us so optimistic about life, I'm sure 99% of us will never reach those goals. Personally, I'm doing better than I ever thought I would be doing, but i've never had goals or dreams. I just do my best and if I end up in the hood, that's what it is. I don't think any generation is as optimistic as we are. Everyone thinks they're going to be a model, rapper or have some rare success story. I'm to the point, I want to do it big and i"m going try, but if I end up working a regular gig, with a decent woman and kids, I'm good.

I think dreaming can be very dangerous and today we have the biggest dreamers ever. Most women aren't happy with settling for a man not on Jay-Z or Obama's level.

Don't get me wrong, I plan to attempt to do it big, but I'm not delusional. I know this can go one than one way. On top of that, I make 100k a year, drive a nice car and date nice women, but that stuff can become a prison if you don't keep moving forward. And only a few people making it from the middleclass to the upper middle. Most fall back to the lower middleclass. I'm actually sell my house and renting a basement apt, my car is paid off. I want to live low class, but i'm keeping my same pay. I realize that financial freedom and no obligations is real happiness for me. I rather make 50k, but live like I'm making 30k, then you make 100k check to check.

"a regular gig" yet you make 100k?

only 6 percent of americans make over 100k a year.



Failure is what you decide failure is, as long as I have a roof over my head, food in my fridge, and i'm healthy i'm content

That's how i'm becoming, but most people aren't like us.

if people travelled the globe and stepped out of their comfort zone they will realize how good they got it.

I used to consider myself a failure in life , could have been a lawyer but dropped out of law school, just have a reg job like the majority of folks out there, but that reg jobs puts food in my belly, allows me to travel, buy what I want to buy, etc.

Life's good, i['m grateful for all that I have

Well how about not accepting being a failure, but realizing you have to be realistic with your goals and expectations?

I think most people realize they won't become millionaires or anything phenomenal like that, its a pretty much a universal pipe dream. But not becoming one doesn't make you a failure.
