No more regrets - Doing what I want to do, finally

As a new years resolution I am cleaning out, throwing out to get organized and de-clutter. I just came across a letter from my mother from 1997 (I just graduated from college) In the letter she states that she just read a letter I wrote to my father about wanting to buy and fix up a house. She writes "Sounds good...but now you have to look for work and what you want to do with your life. Working for a company in the beginning would allow you benefits and job security while you work to save for what you really want to do in life."

Listening to my mom and not purchasing a home to renovate is and has been a huge regret for me. I now work for a company and I am stuck in the rat race. I work paycheck to paycheck and it is never enough. I have a boss who is never satisfied no matter how much I put into my work. They always want more and throw another spread sheet at me. I think all this hard work if channeled towards something for myself I could be amazing.
