How could a real creator do that unless A) He wants struggle to be the purpose of your life. B) He is worse at pulling strings or giving guidance than a mortal being. C. You are somehow more in need of all this bad stuff because you bother to do what others never even attempt.

Life's too short. Why not do what you were meant to do? You have to stay on this planet until its time to go, what else is there to do? Why not take risks? Fulfill your purpose? Challenge and accomplish? Go all out and do something worthwhile? <br><br>Many people are afraid of risk and failure but I'm truly believe that there is nothing to be afraid of. Great post!

It sounds like you've determined a certain narrow definition of success–that which relates to career success–and decided that one must sacrifice everything in order to get there.

I feel very sad for you–its such a shallow definition of happiness–some far off land of achievement in which everything must be sacrificed today.

I feel like maybe you haven't had enough life experience to realize the things one trades in this all-encompassing pursuit of a goal. The process never ends, I'm sure you know, once you get there another elusive goal lies around the corner and what about the choices you've made and not made along the way? Those consequences?

As someone who is in the middle of pursuing her dream–Medical School–despite challenges like 2 kids– I am a little taken aback by your cavalier, over-simplyfing, and dismissive attitude about the obstacles people face in trying to achieve their dreams. I'm blessed with a supportive spouse who believes in my dream and the saccrifices required of both of us–we both know many more obstacles lie ahead–but we've made this “our plan” for our lives together and figured out how to make it work for kids and jobs… it was never about MY dream, MY job, MY success… its about OUR life.

*An unrelated note* I checked out your blog to see where you are coming from… Dude, you seriously need to check that ego… No comments on your blog? No two-way conversations? You lost all credbility right there.

And maybe being a millionaire doesn't matter to you, but you need to be passionate about something to have any true success in it. I've built many websites over the years and the ones that I actually cared about grew the fastest, shined the brightest, and were simply the most fun.

They always tend to think that they have to impress or satisfy others, that's why they become so scared of making mistakes. Great job on writing an inspirational post for your readers. “Don’t “sell out” because you’re afraid you’ll fail!”
