Storytime

I once had a conversation with an old friend. It didn't last long, but it ended with me telling him that I would become a millionaire by the age of 20. It was based off an idea a person had implemented in me a while back; while I was in a class with a tutor. Some time as passed since then, and I am 19; still not a millionaire. I don't know if it was me being naive, or just idealistic of the world around me. However, I'm sure of one thing, and that one thing is i'm a man of words, not action. I rarely take the action required to complete my goals in life. Recently, I started to take actions towards my monthly goal. The goal itself is not important, so I will not mention it. These successes have been limited, but I consider it progress. I will continue to complete my goals, no matter how long they take.

Now I am going to rewrite this post with all of the details that would otherwise be missing in a "high quality" post.

The truth is I really did have a conversation with my friend. Before you continue reading, I know some people would assume the friend I was referring to was someone I had stopped talking to for over a year, and just caught up. That's not the truth. The friend that I referred to in this post has been friends with me for several years now — since 2009 to be exact. We talk almost everyday about random stuff. Like the young adults we are, we discuss many things, from people to events to ideas. Obviously, the conversation I had with him was just one other conversation. The conversation itself was not important to this post, but I had to give it some context. I did have the conversation several times though.

The idea of being a millionaire by 20 didn't seem unreasonable at the time. I honestly thought I would be able to do that, or at the very least $100,000, had I changed and did some things different. Obviously I had confidence issues — at least until I learnt to not give a fuck. The main issue I had was not lack of confidence, but rather, lack of content to talk about. I've questioned it time and time again, and I still do not have an answer that makes me want to stop asking. To answer your question: Yes, Some guy actually came into my tutor and talked to the class about life. It was awesome.

Though it is true that I am mainly a man of words, I do enjoy taking action nowadays, even if taking action nowadays means taking action once a blue moon. When I mentioned I take more action now than I have before, I actually mean it. To put it in context though, I complete one action a week. Realistically, in the past fortnight, I've done two things. Much less than most sucessful people who do one new thing a day.

Yeah the quality of this post really dropped. It's late, and i'm tired.
