Finding contentment in the journey

Investing in real estate is a life long decision for most people like us. Knowing that it is going to be a long journey how do you personally find contentment in the journey?

I am having a hard time in life being happy working a 9-5 job that I don’t really like although the money is pretty good. I miss my wife and daughter at home everyday and just wish I could be there with them but know that one of us has to work.

Sometimes I feel hopeless and that I will never get to financial freedom and then other times I feel confident that I will get there.

Does anyone else on here struggle with the same thing or am I the only one?

I have tried to change my mindset on the situation but changing your prospective is hard when you know there is a better life out there that you could be living if only you could get this or that accomplished.

It would be nice to hear if anyone else struggles with this and what you do to overcome the mental aspect of this journey.
