36, frustrated, angry, bored, uninspired and stuck in a safe, boring, but tolerable dead end job. A job which I’ll be stuck doing for the next 30 years till retirement cause this is as far as I can go in my life. Failed and burned out from multiple business ventures, and have completely given up hope in building a successful business empire or doing anything of note period. I’ve resigned myself to my fate. My question is how to accept & cope with the misery that is my mediocre and boring life? Drugs? Alcohol? Criminal activity?
Personally I just don’t see work or career as the end all be all of someone’s worth. I just work so I can get money to advance my real goals.
If I reached the peak of my career than that’s good, it means I’m getting as much money / free time as I possibly can to actually enjoy my life outside of work.
