RE: ⏺Why I am not a millionaire yet.. Part 2: Giving up
This post has really motivated me to set some new goals! I used to be extremely motivated and driven. Those qualities is how I accomplished a successful and exciting law enforcement career.
I've been wanting to accomplish several things lately, one being writing a book about my law enforcement career. Unfortunately in 2013, I contracted Multiple Sclerosis which ended my career of 12 years. It's been very hard to accept and deal with but I have managed to stay afloat.
I hate using this as an excuse but it's the truth, my MS and all of the medications that I'm on have taken my drive, energy and motivation away. Especially now with the current treatment that I was forced to switch to, I'm just like a zombie the majority of the time.
Fortunately, I have met a wonderful person here on steemit that is volunteering her time to help coach me to a better way of life and HOPEFULLY start feeling better. I really liked the comment you made about how "self review" was very important. This is a really great post and I thank you!
I am glad if you are now more motivated to set the bar high once again. We all need that kind of a 'boost' every once in a while. My bro, life is a roller-coaster. We are all human, and humans are emotional beings. Motivation doesn't just appear there for you every single day, we need to get it on a regular basis :)
That is the exact purpose as to why I write these posts. I know that if at least one person catches the message, then the work was all worth it.
I trust we will talk again :) Talk soon.
