I think sometimes it's the motivation and determination that runs a bit dry.

Not too long ago i was like "i wont own an expensive car, or a big house.. but i'll be doing fine!"

A shoutout to Scotty J for the JSX!

If it is your heart's desire, power through lack of motivation. If not for yourself, do it for your friends and family. My primary goal was to be able to give my kids anything they wanted or needed. Things that I could not have when I was younger. (Of course making sure they understand and appreciate all that they have or have access to.) It is also good to be able to send somebody something that will make them a few percentage happier with life in general, like kewl guitars.

Indeed. Struggling with motivation can be the most difficult part of this process, and learning what motivates you is a big part of getting things done. I've been learning this slowly yet surely during this past year or so I've been out of school.

A completely subjective discussion of semantics? Awesome!
