Well, first off don't refer to the one thing you enjoy as "sad".. technically speaking the virtual life can be just as fulfilling as a *real* world one.. and let's be real here anyway.. the virtual life is real, it is via action on the physical plane yes.. you have to have a credit card yes.. you have to have internet yes.. a computer, physical interaction with keyboard? All = yes
What it sounds like to me is that you want to transition to more real world stuff.. fine.. (this is in a way the same transition I'm working on) but don't refer to the person you are now as "sad".. you are anything but.. pick up a smile and know that what you've been exploring in wow is valid, beautiful, unique and fun for you and that's all that matters..
(my sister’s in the other room engaged in WOW.. don’t think I don’t have a clue about what I’m talking about)
Any advice on how to proceed?
You need to drop every single load you’re carrying that you don't enjoy or you don't find fun.. doesn't matter what it is.. if you've been working 20 years to be a carpenter but you don't find that idea fun anymore "DROP IT"
Don’t carry loads you don’t want too for the following “ego” reasons
- I started it, I have to finish it
- If I don’t get this career, I’m worthless and have wasted all my time in school.. (you know this one isn’t true.. did the Napster guy even graduate?? not likely did he get a nice payout for a idea/program surely??)
- I’m sure I could think of some more but I’m out of ideas
You are feeling negative about certain things.. I would get in touch with why that is.. is there a dream that you believe is too hard to reach? Are you just lazy and don't want to do the work (nothing wrong with that.. you might learn that "hard work is its own reward" line is nothing but bs) ??
Understand that from my viewpoint/understanding.. negative opinions about yourself are just
you pointing to
you.. that that is the opposite of the truth..
I'd be happy to recommend some of my teacher's works if you want to take self empowerment ideas to the next level.. of course it does require a very open mind
