Life is filled with choices, and at the end of the day, it doesn't matter how big the decision ends up being, all that matters is that you made the right one. One should never have to say that life is hopeless and that I will never get anywhere, you are making that choice to not go somewhere in life but the ones that do and dont give up are the ones that will. If you choose to be a waiter your whole life by all means do that but don't expect yourself driving a fancy car in the next few years. If you have high hopes and dreams chase them it doesn't matter how long the journey takes because all journeys begin with one step and you need to make that step if you aspire to be someone with lots of money, have close relationships or even be more spiritual. Everyday in life you are faced with easy and hard decisions, just make the right ones that meet your goals and expectations and through that you shall succeed.
