I saw this last night before bed and it really resonates with the conversations that I had where friends feel like they need to be similar to those around them (top 1-10%) and had crazy expectations and standards. Everybody wants what feels good, to be carefree, happy and easy life, to fall in love and have amazing sex and relationships, be popular and well-respected and a total baller. But their actions never reflect the journey they must take to seek the reward. The video above suggests that you should seek to adjust your expectations and dreams to your current situation, potential outlook and what you're actually doing.

So for example, if you're making $60K, you can't look back in life and be emo that you're not making $150K+ like your peers. Nor should you set a goal of making $150K and finding a career you enjoy, in 3-5 years to match your friends. You should seek to become average first before you seek for perfection.

That means figure out how to hit $80K to be above average, given your education, experience, network, etc. and not stressing that you're not making $150K+ like all your peers. You might find out that the guys making $150K+ had to sacrifice through lots of hard work and delayed gratification that you don't want to do. I WANT MY GT4 and I WANT IT NOWWWWWWWW

Spoiler!
