The life you want is on the other side of a few hard conversations.

You are living a life you hate just because you are too afraid to have them.

“Love your work/job not the company.”

“Your coworkers are always colleagues who wish to earn more than you or want to get more praise than you and always want to be better than you.. So don’t trust, be close or make them close friends. “

Haha, Why not. Another one in that case from one of my favorites metal songs, war reference again but great to pump one up

"Indestructible, Determination that is incorruptible, From the other side A terror to behold, Annihilation will be unavoidable, Every broken enemy will know, That their opponent had to be invincible Take a last look around while you're alive I'm an indestructible master of war" 🥂
