        It sounds to me like your motivation comes from anger or despice. The world doesn't make sense and nothing really matters. From there, try to do what feels good.

        I'm moving in the same vane as this gentleman. It isn't anger at all. It's a need to be free and take ownership of something that YOU'VE created. I tell my 3 children at all the time: Thinkers and Creatives have the ability to change EVERYTHING. Stay focused and keep moving. 💯

        Well mine takes about 10, but I have to cram it into 8. At least being busy makes the time go by fast. I couldn't stand being bored.

        many people need to be their own boss but this seems like a version of depression to me, I'm not sure how being your own boss answers his questions

        Yeah, I'd rather be an entrepreneur that has to answer to 100 different "bosses" and not be 100% sure what my paycheck is going to look like or if one is even gong to exist...than settle for the monotony of a typical 9-5 and a cookie cutter life. I'd be miserable!
