Gave myself no other choice but to triumph. I have nothing else outside my goals.
Thats cool. I just asked because I'm at a pretty low point in my life right now. Having issues with focusing on one goal. Just needed some inspiration.

Sometime for me I think about the ones who depend on me and the ones who supported me to not give up.

I think about the ones who look up to me as role models and I try to remember I need to make sure I set a strong example so I can show them that their dreams are possible too! I want to show my nieces and nephews that it doesn't matter if you are black, you can still find success in a world that wants to see you low, in jail, on drugs and into other fukkery so they can profit from your misery. I refuse to let them take advantage of me as a black man.
:whew:

Your 19 it happens to everyone at that age. At least you want to do something with your life, most people just go through life asleep.

My advice for you is to just cultivate yourself, develop good habits, stay healthy, eat right, save your money. Prepare yourself for when you find your goal.

Be patient! The answer will come when your ready for it. If you get your physical/material side prepared then you can go out to meet your goal with the resources you have.

When I was your age, I knew exactly what I wanted to do, but had no way to get it. I spent the next few years getting my basic life together. Job, apartment, and now I'm saving money and working out a schedule so I can live a normal life and also be creative.

One thing at a time. Be patient and prepare yourself in the mean time.

This is the most important thing. It takes time to reach your goals so just be patient. Get a good mentor and bounce ideas off of him/her to give you guidance along the way.

Generations before me worked so hard to advance the future generations I'll be damned if I let them down. My grandma is 90 and she has lived to see me graduate college and land my first job :ahh:
