I can speak to this a bit. People lose hope because they don’t see the way out. They think whatever they are currently doing is the best way to survive. I know this, because this was me working at a management job where my bosses were continually trying to fire me, because office politics.

This is a phenomenon I have witnessed in people I know as well. There are valleys in life, where you feel this is as good as it is going to get. You don’t know how things can change. Even looking for the door is something that you have to “wake up” to see.

I can honestly say that the small successes I have right now started as seeds of me wanting a better life almost ten years ago. My dreams were very modest back then. I did not realize that I could dream bigger.

Time will tell whether I achieve my current goals or not. But, I will not deviate from my path until I achieve them.

As an American poet once said, “Get rich or die trying”. Meet you on the other side.
