On the road to become who I want

[Brence]

Hello everyone,

I'm a 22y old French-speaking Belgian and what I'm looking for is freedom, mostly financial.
Before my 20th year alive on this planet I had no clue what to do with my life, I had an ex stuck in my mind for 5 years already and I was still hoping to get back with her since we were friend (for her) but I wasn't taking any action. It was already my 3rd year in university, I had no motivation and I still was in first grade. The university was far, I had to wake up very early and fell asleep almost every time during the lesson. I had no money to live in a student housing and wasn't willing to work as a student. Because of this and the lack of meaning and enjoyment I had, my mental health was very low and I wasn't seeing myself live longer than 30 years. To conclude this chapter of my life, I had no goal and I was making very poor choices.

The year 2020 I had enough, I had enough of being depressed, I had enough of faking a friendship with this girl I liked, I had enough of going to university only to fall asleep, I wanted control and not rely on others who were dictating my behavior, I was very passive. I knew I had 0 chance with the girl but still confessed, just to see. She rejected me, as I knew she would but I was finally free mentally for the first time in 5 years. We weren't talking anymore, I wasn't waiting anything from her anymore. I took an action, and it felt great. From this point everything went well. I started exercising, had better habits, had a new girlfriend for the first time in 5 years and this year I crushed my exams and went to the 2nd grade. The next year I had a student job because for the first time I needed money to do things I started to enjoy and to go on trips with my girlfriend. I began step by step to understand what I wanted and what I wanted to build in the future.

This year I understood something else : I don't want to study. I don't want to work a 9-17 5 days a week. I want to enjoy life and what it has to offer me. I want to learn more about the world that surrounds me and the problems it faces, I want to travel, discover cultures, eat nice food, meet people, live with my girlfriend and share all those experiences with her and I also want to make the world a better place at my scale (it all sounds very classic but I really think that's what I want, at least for now). I stopped university and to achieve my goal I started reading books, including the fast lane. I've just started a formation to become a business executive alongside becoming a certified accountant having 2 days of class and working 3 days in a company every week (paid) but not to become accountant but to start a business later with useful abilities to manage it. This formation is a 9-17 and it pisses me off to be honest but I feel like it's the first step of a greater thing and that's what drives me. I still need to figure out what am I going to do with my newly acquired abilities and I feel like this book is helping me visualize my goals. I'll work as hard as I can in the coming year, it will be the start of my journey.

Thanks for reading and feel free to ask me question or tell me what do you think about this. Am I on the right track?

Edit : I haven't finished the book yet
