To get ahead, or not to get ahead, That is the question?

The more you try, you feel like the more you fail, and it almost feels like failure has become your first name
“This can’t be life?”
“There has to be more?”

“Maybe it will help me to get a great job.”
Freedom is what we all desire, but only a small percentage of people enjoy it. Click To TweetThen the thought comes back in your mind that it isn’t a great job that you seek, but instead you seek freedom from the normal commute, and you are trying to get out of the rat race, and into your own lane.
Currently you feel like you just can’t advance because all that you are doing isn’t working, and people keep on telling you to just “give it up.”

They’re starting to actually phase you, and now after another day at work, another day dealing with a boss who is so much of a pain that you wish he would just disappear; you’re finally back home.
