it sounds like you've been blessed with the temperament to not actually want either of these things.
you probably don't want to buy expensive stuff or exhibit control over other people or be written about either. that's also a blessing.
none of this stuff 'just happens, someday, maybe'. people who are driven by these urges are totally different than you. they wake up with the uncontrollable urge to do these things. when they see/think about something they want they are consumed by some kind of positive or negative emotion. you obviously don't experience any of this stuff because you're a normal person, but don't let yourself believe that you 'might do it someday', because you probably won't.
- vinceguidry 11y agoI am interested in expensive stuff and in leadership. I have to moderate my ambitions to those I can realistically try out. Two years ago I bought 3 custom suits for $3000. These days I'm happy browsing clearance racks and got a nice three-piece for under $150, a pair of secondhand Italian leather shoes for $14. I'm better dressed now than I was then because I have more variety to choose from. Instead of begging for more responsibility at my job, I cultivate community relationships and put together deals. I'm currently doing a website for a musician friend of mine. I took my side of the fee and gave it back to him in exchange for a guitar. I scratch most of the personal development itches that an entrepreneur seems to be after, and have a lot more fun (to me) doing it.
