“You don't need to know because it's not going to pan out anyway, right? We need to learn, like this is a we thing, but I needed to learn how to sway. A lot of things take commitment. My bills have constantly been paid, even though I've swapped hobbies and side business ideas and new tricks and trades and whatever college class I want to take. I've worked just enough to get them done, even come out on top quite a bit. So to solidify that I know what I need to do with the rest of my life is ridiculous because when you are constantly striving to learn and self-development, which is basically what the 12 steps is, Clearing the wreckage of the past. The education and the learning and finding what you want to do with your life kind of just happens on its own. No doing of my own was finding new little ideas on businesses to start and learning how to cope because I want to maybe change my career path, right? Doing it the right way, going back to school and just having your eyes open to a new world is the way to go, is put in the work, keep coming, don't drink, don't do drugs, and just stay abstinent, work on yourself, and then the rest of it kind of falls into place.”
