As an introvert, have to admit it was bit too long for me to enjoy. And for someone who&#8217;s trying to make and save money, I didn&#8217;t particularly enjoy having conversations about him being able to afford bicycles and watches. Being constantly asked between bikes with $600 difference and when I bring up money as a factor, would be dismissed by being told that money is no issue, all this while not paying for a single meal or gas together for 4 days. I don&#8217;t like myself taking mental notes of this knowing he is a good friend. While I enjoy hosting and treating guests well, having money as an issue did bring these &#8220;actions&#8221; (or inactions) more exposed to the light. Still, talking to people in real life brings in a different joy compared to talking with them on the phone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After I dropped him off, I cut my hair and took in the time alone only to be followed up by work. Work that is not fun in the slightest, both mind-numbing and back-aching. Only strengthens my desire to succeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, with those thoughts on my mind, I listened to a new biography on Elon Musk on my bike ride back home. When I arrived, I was listening to how Elon was starting SpaceX being asked by his colleague from PayPal, how was he going to make money building rockets to send to Mars? Elon didn&#8217;t have an answer to this question but had a belief that he would find out while he pursued his vision to send rockets and eventually people to mars. Making me doubt my desire to succeed. Is it success I should crave for? Or a vision, much bigger than me, without money in mind? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I can&#8217;t answer this question right now. But since I don&#8217;t have a vision, I&#8217;ll work on the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today Earned: $54<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Total Earned: $58.23<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dropped off my friend that came to visit after working out.
