Dude, I don't know if I give good advice or not. It might be total shit.
But when I've found myself in situations that I didn't know how I'd ever dig out. I've done a first principles evaluation of my life.
How I got here & where I wanted to be.
The few times in my life it felt hopeless. I said fk it and did a 180.
When I was much younger I abandon my groups of friends, they were dragging me down.
180 change in my life for the better.
Another time I quit school. Worked my ass off for a year and went back.
180° change in my productivity.
Stuck in work I didn't like.
Totally yolo'd into a young burgeoning industry that was paying crap.
It's been my career for 20yrs now.
Broke up with my girlfriend of 8yrs and met my wife a few months later.
Had a tragedy in my life, was super depressed and drinking a lot.
One day said fk it. Started exercising habitually. 180° change in emotions and energy, confidence etc.
Everyone's got different situation's.
But I've found that when at a crossroads, do the scariest shit.
- Cheers
