Those are the harder questions that most people never get around to answering.
Getting real is hard. Complaining is really easy. Living in a way that brings happiness starts with you doing a radical self-inventory that is painful. There's no other way, I think.@cryptomancer and @azurejasper: The way to move forward from ideas like "I want this" and "I don't want the 9-5" is start to get specific about your strengths, and what you are actually good at. Finding your value and sharing that value with others is the way to do this. I spent around 6 years saying this to myself, "I hate working for people. I want to be my own boss. I don't want to be bossed around" but I never got anywhere because I didn't answer these fundamental questions: 1. What do I like doing that could both benefit myself as well as others? 2. How do I build confidence in order to make my dreams come into reality?

Thanks for the thoughtful advice! I think that first point is one of the things I aim to explore through Steemit. The platform is a good way to try out some ideas and get feedback on what is valuable to others and what isn't.
