What's important is to not get caught up by all these success stories. They are just massive leaps from where your current situation is and it'll demotivate you because you feel like you can't get there. There are many stories where people start from literally nothing at all. And you never ever here all the work that goes into creating success (not to mention luck as well). Here's my favourite blog post about just grinding it out: https://www.groovehq.com/blog/lewis-howes-interview https://www.groovehq.com/blog/lewis-howes-interview Instead, start off by having a big goal but also one more modest - nothing too easy but not one that's too improbably to achieve. It's important to have small wins just as it is to have big wins. Everyday is an opportunity to improve things. Analyze what just happened and continuously improve and grow. Personally, I knew of a person who lived in his van, who went on to become a famous photographer and earned millions. During his moment of success, he became arrogant and stop challenging himself. Eventually, his wealth faded away and he was back in his van. It was only after he started appreciating everything in his life and started to challenge did he see his fortune come back again. I believe that you're destined for greatness. Your situation is temporary and you can absolutely change it. Don't be depressed by someone else's success. Keep going.
