Magical old wizard saying “Oh hey, sorry I ignored you but you’re special.”
Are you waiting for a wizard?

No one came to uplift me. I worked.
I realized my choices were stupid and shortsighted and I had to change and be better.
No career. Barely worked. Credit card debt.
2012 came and went and POOF, still alive. What next?
He started working. Built a real life.
We all must work.
We all must work and make something of ourselves. You are not an identity, you are an accumulation of choices.
You can work hard and be discovered and uplifted TO MAKE MONEY FOR SOMEONE ELSE, but that still requires work to cultivate a useful skill.
But when you wallow in mediocrity and laziness, who risks it?
I know it’s hard. I work 70+ hour weeks with 2 toddlers and a pregnant wife. I still barely make ends meet.
You can do this too. The only thing preventing you is believing you can’t.
They sit and wait for their wizard.
I have never seen a wizard, folks. I’ve seen dirty old men scooping up young girls for sex work, but no wizards.
Don’t wait for a wizard.
Seize the day and become the person you want to be.
