Hi Mustachians,
This is very difficult for me to express but I have self confidence and motivational problems that hinder me from acquiring the skills and the motivation to become financially independent. While Mr. Money Mustache and many others in this forum boast self confidence, motivation, and talents I'm just mediocre and most things and don't have any passion to work. Logically, I understand that financial independence is the way to go but there's no burning desire.
I've listened to self confidence lectures including a whole series by Brian Tracy in order to become more motivated. Basically, the advice given is always the same: find out what you're passionate about and make it into a career, think about what you've always dreamed of but never dared to do, find out what your 3 greatest skills are and take advantage of them, etc. etc..
But what if I'm not passionate about any type of work? Can I make watching TV, playing video games, or going mountain biking into work that I'm passionate about?
What if I don't have any dreams because I've seen a lot of the world already and the things that I've dreamed of as a kid didn't turn out to be as exciting as I hoped them to be?
What if my only skill was playing a video game, which I haven't played in 5 years?
Sorry for this depressing post but I'm wondering if any of you here have experienced this lack of motivation and the resulting lack of self confidence?
