good thread,
Bettering oneself to me is always eternal as an individual experiences progression in the growth of his/her life. With that said, at my stage in my life I often find myself desiring success, but never really taking much action to start where I need to. I always think of it as one day I'll just be where I want to be, but I need to realize that I need to work from the bottom first to be able to be anywhere near the top. Ive realized that Im at the age now that my childhood is past and that I need to really grow to be a man take some responsibilities and make something of my life. One of my biggest inspirations in life is Pac, it blows my mind everytime just trying to fathom how one individual accomplished so much at such a young age. It really inspires me to strive to be a better person and to be successful, even just looking at my parents, it's incredible how they have been able to provide so much for me and how they have bettered our living conditions over the past years. I guess I just need to really start taking my life more serious because I don't want my opportunities to pass me by. I DO want success and I DO want to be somebody in life, not in the sense of having "fame" but in the sense that I will have left this world a better place for my family and loved ones than when I came into this world.
Thats one of my major obstacles that I am trying to seriously deal with right now, just being productive with my time and giving it my all before its too late
