Who else has had this experience?

A month after graduating high-school I read TMF in August 2015.
It completely CHANGED me on a deep level

Throughout high-school I was depressed and couldn't talk to anyone. I would come home from school, sleep until 8pm then play video games until 3am...

Then I would wake up for school at 7am and do it all over again.

After TMF my eyes were wide open, I was tired of that life.

Fast-forward 1 year

  • I've read over 60 books. Business, mindset, ANYTHING that I felt would help me!
  • I started programming!
  • I started talking to people!
  • I became 300% MORE social!
  • I hit a 245lb squat, 200 lb bench and 275 deadlift in the gym!
  • I stopped playing video games!
  • I started being helpful whether I can! Giving up my seat on the bus, throwing out trash if I can... Talking to people when they need support. I even purchased copies of TMF for my best friends! (This had one of the great positive effects on my life and relationships!)

The depressed loser I was in high-school is so far away...

And I am SO HAPPY with my journey so far.

The Challenges I Face Today

  • I'm going to community college for "computer programming" which I am not happy about.
  • My girlfriend broke up to me (July 28th), said I was becoming "too much like the books I read all the time"... This one hurt the most!
  • I've never held a job and made money before!

What Is The Plan Of Action?

I'm Actually Very Uncertain
I'm currently reading "The Personal MBA" and I'm about to write a resume to get a part-time job.

The loss of my relationship is really effecting me and I'm realizing that I want a much better social circle so I'm taking action on building that by going to networking events and meet-ups.

Other than from the books I read I lack any sort of mentor/guidance in my life, I feel that it's because I lack value so I will be putting more effort into creating value through copywriting and programming.

However programming feels like a dead-end job especially here in Toronto where programmers are everywhere, college and programming feel like empty pursuits...

SORRY to leave it off on such a sad tone! I know excuses aren't welcome here nor do I welcome excuses in my own life!

About Me

I am 19 years old living in Ontario (Caledon).
My github repositories can be found here: https://github.com/abstructs.
I enjoy jazz music, jogging, weightlifting, photography and challenging my own limiting beliefs!

It's good to meet you!
