Hey I'm going to tell you something different :
I procrastinated and slacked.
Like a lot.
Like I made my life around it.
Like my only goal was to sit at home and play videogames.
I dropped my girlfriend (she was soul sucking anyway).
I quit my job.
I'm not going to provide details about how I did survive financially but the point is : I centered my life around slacking for some months. I did not wanted to do anything but disconnect from that track that had been put in my mind "eat, work, sleep". I had lost my soul and wanted it back.
Not using the habits I had (following a clock, working mindlessly.. you know the drill) was to forget that track. To clear my mind of this poison.
I had no more passion at the time. My refuge was in videogames. And so I played.
Now, after some time my soul came back, I remembered that I was a curious person. Passions came back. I became good at something. That something I became good at because I was following my passion got me a job. And now I'm good at my job.
So whatever dude. Stop thinking. Don't take any model.
Just don't accept to be less than who you are.
