That most men live lives of quiet desperation it’s one of my favorite quotes ever because it’s true you just you’re just in this world where you just can’t wait to just run away but I think one of the reasons why these people have this deep-seated anger and resentment is there’s a bunch of people out there that have these lives that are deeply unsatisfying because I think there are so many people that are working all day long doing something that is deeply unsatisfying and almost painful.

For making furniture feels good if you make furniture you make furniture for a living and you you feel a great satisfaction of that you sell that furniture look man if you can do that you could you could cut those corners perfectly and sand everything down nice and stain it and then it’s done you get this satisfied and you sell it to someone and that pays your bills that is infinitely more satisfying than being stuck in some [ __ ] cubicle working for someone that you don’t want to work for having to have these stupid [ __ ] office meetings talking to people in human resources sitting down with your supervisor where they evaluate your job performance and you know you’re not really you know you you really need to be enthusiastic about this company this company is your future this kind of like you’re like [ __ ] kill me now you know there’s a lot of people out there that would way rather do something else and i hope they understand that they can and people that are trapped in bad situations one of the problems is you feel like this is your future you feel like you’re and you can’t get out of that there’s no hope there’s no light at the end of the tunnel there’s no rainbow and if you feel like that that alone can be incredibly defining and limiting.

You have an apartment you have to pay for you have a car you lease you have a wife that you have to feed you have a child you have to raise you have to you have your mortgage you have your this you have your that and that’s where it all comes from well the opportunity takes place usually when you’re young and you don’t have any responsibility that’s when you have your options well your options are severely limited the more you gather responsibilities like if i had as a 51 year old father of three married man pays taxes has a house and a mortgage and a business and all that jazz if i had to quit everything now and struggle the way i struggled as a stand-up comedian it would never work, but the only way i could be this person now is if i took that chance when i was 21 when i was dead broke and had my cars repossessed and all that stuff that’s the only way you you ever get where you want to go you have to you have to take a path that’s dangerous and most people want to take the safe path the safe path leaves you stuck in quiet desperation almost every time it’s hell it’s hell.
But can people just make that change i mean look i believe that you have to plan it out the way you can change is you have to put aside enough money to give yourself a window and then you have to have a plan and you have to spend all your waking hours outside of whatever job you do planning your escape and you have to come to the realization very clearly that you [ __ ] up you got yourself stuck so whatever you’re doing you have to do it like your life depends on it and whether it is you’re trying to be an author and you’re gonna you’re gonna if you’re gonna try to be an author and you’re working eight hours a day plus commuting plus family responsibilities or whatever else you have whatever time that you have you have to attack like you’re trying to save the world you’re trying to save your life you don’t want to drown that one and a half hours a day that you have to write god damn you better be caffeinated and motivated you got to go you got to get after it and you got to have discipline that’s most people don’t have those things most people don’t understand what it’s like to to really go for something and to know that the consequences of not doing that are horrific.
