Greetings 
It is awkward to be writting this feeling like I haven't been living my life according to my ambitions. Arriving at this point after reading several self-help books and encountering "The Millionaire Fastlane ", leads me to think that change is occuring and that in spite of it happening slowly, the mindset is evolving.
My name is Alexandre and I was born in Lisbon (Portugal) on the following date: 9th July 1993.
I have always had what I presume to be, an inferiority complex. I never had the confidence in myself to actually pursue goals or dreams. Yes, until recently. In my early days I wished to become a soccer player, like most kids in my country desired - I would play with my friends all day long even if it meant disregarding any school activities. However, I never thought much of myself, ever. Even whilst playing within a friendly environment, if I were gazed upon by many eyes, my sense of self would dissipate and I'd feel overwhelmed by "minimum" pressure. I was never a fearless, straightforward kid but one full of insecurities.
As I grew, I went on to indulge myself in other sports only to reach nowhere.
At this point, my academic path was also in ashes. I was never a "process" person, always keen on avoiding hard labour and following the easy path - which in truth, was/is the hardest. I managed to attain the required education status through an alternative path - by completing a "professional" course, this, after failling three years in regular school. Yes. I have never been dedicated and focused on achieving - much less in school.
I don't want to prolong myself any further and I will keep things short by saying that I had what I consider a faithful meeting with someone that is now part of my life. This person dropped a seed of prosperity in me and since I have met her I have sought to improve myself, and I feel different, way different than before. I have read several self-help books, I have inspired myself to live presently, to continually aspire to become a better version of myself and of course, love me, love people. And even though I am not particularly talented or intelligent, I love myself!
I have recently applied for university in Portugal and hey, I was admitted. However, what I before considered to be a well-achieved career, working an office job, in a bank with a 9 till 5 job - began to not excite me. The idea of going to university despite being admitted, doesn't excite me. Funny how my mentality shifted completely.
I found "The Millionaire Fastlane " in the meanwhile.
There are things I am thinking about, I have a slight concern about capabilities/capacity based on my zero achievements track record - but it still feels good. Better than before. I have this thriving feeling of excitement that this book left me with, not only that, but the acknowledgment that change occurs and can happen for/to eveyone.
I don't what will happen, but I want to prove myself, to myself.
I hope I can learn much from everyone!
