Leos, I just feel unsatisfied with where my life is at the moment and worry about my future daily. I'm still young, so I have plenty of time to become "successful" but I don't feel like I'm getting a chance to plant my seeds now for success later.

I have a degree & have never gotten a job in my perspective field, I'm at the same job I had in college, which requires no degree. My friends seem to be on the up and up. My parents think I'm not trying, but truth be told I have. Now have I tried all day every day? No. Could I probably try harder? Yes. But applying to hundreds of jobs and not getting an interview or getting the interview and being told no is disheartening.

I feel stagnant. I feel sad. I feel scared.

Does anyone have stories about struggling for an EXTENDED period of time & everything still panned out in the end. I'm nervous it won't. Are we just experiencing a hard time right now? Will it pass?

I'm about to be TOO BLUNT right now warning. Why are you comparing yourself to those on the up and up? what you you doing about your situation? STOP focusing on THEM it's getting YOU nowhere! Map your own success internally until what you do on the outside says wealth. Make your attitude wealthy, your mindset wealthy and your overall being carry yourself among those smarter than YOU. maybe you aren't humble enough so earth has struck you down? maybe not but you have so much to offer and like you said you are still YOUNG. You have plenty of time but what you don't have time to do IS COMPLAIN AND OBSERVE PEOPLE! Get up and do something about your situation DARE TO FAIL. If you are looking to WIN every situation/battle/obstacle that comes your way then your best bet is to stay on the ROPES doing nothing. But if you wish to become stronger FAIL and LEARN then sit among them that are wiser than you and learn a thing or two. Just be the best at what you are doing now, DON"T LET YOUR AMBITIONS SHADOW YOUR SMALL ACHIEVEMENTS! that is all... I'm gone
