So success was like, hey, you know what?

If you have a nice car, you have a nice house, you got a couple of kids, this success.

And I'm like, the fuck?

I don't want that shit.

Like, that's fucking gay.

I mean, like I'm sitting there and I'm like, that's fucking retarded.

Look at all my family members.

I'm like, you're all fucking gay.

you're all in marriages you don't like you're only you know situations you're trying to figure it out yeah your houses have been the same for 20 years i'm like there's no success in that now look at other people i'm like that guy got 30 cars you got this you got that i'm like oh yeah i want his life so i'm like okay so that's my goal right that's my destination so i don't i i remove everything in between to feel like i've made it until i have that

So that way I'd never feel like I had something to lose because it was never mine to keep, right?

So I go like, unless I'm getting to that fucking destination...

then everything under that was nothing that I was going to hold on to anyways.

It was part of the journey.

And so what if I lose it?

Because I'm not where I want to be.

It's like if you made a trip from Florida to California and you somehow end up in Missouri, you got to figure out like, did I really want to go to California or not?

And if you did, that means you might have to like start walking if your car breaks down.

But you got to commit to that destination or whatever that is.

And the competition rises at that time.

And it's also much harder to reinvent yourself if you have to start over because you were stagnant than if you went through the difficulty of going from 1 million to 10 million to 100 million to whatever it is in the same field that you've already gained expertise in.
