You guys are awesome, I can't thank you enough for sharing your thoughts and it's reassuring to hear your going through the same shit (kind of :p).

Archreux - thank man, I agree with your kind words and they mean a lot (genuinely) It's an interesting thought that all people are capable great wealth and success, I used to think something similar, but ive come to think that we all have self destruct buttons inside of us we can't help but press every now and again. It's the reason people watch mind numbing shite on the TV, or lay around procrastinating. We all know it's the wrong thing to do, but we just do it anyway. Humans are weird creatures lol. You also get people like my boss who will NEVER change. I don't think their mentally able to, the old habits are die hard. It's like that dude in the matrix said, after a certain age you can't unplug the person, their minds simply can't comprehend it from the comfy world they've built themselves. (or something along that line ;P)
That being said i'm not going to be giving up anytime soon, i'm gonna keep pushing and see how far I can get this. Thanks a lot again for taking the time to share your thoughts man, it's much appreciated.

EduardoGaray - powerful words dude, and coming from you they mean a lot! It's easy to get caught up In that cycle of the cookie cut life style you mentioned, but when you take a step back and look at this whole thing from a broader perspective and think about how many people their are living in this tiny planet, in an infinite vastness of space which spans on forever where inside black holes there are infinite more galaxies like this one which also span on forever, you soon realise how stupid our perspectives on life are. They are so small and short, so it's truly more important than anything to try and pursue what you love. Money, in the end is paper with numbers printed on it which we have all mutually decided grants us degrees of power and wealth, but no amount of money on the world can buy back your time here on this world. shit I just got deep lol, I hope i didn't just bore the crap out of you lol. Thanks as always man for stopping by, to be honest I probably wouldn't have made it this far without your feedback and support so i'm always grateful your comments.

jake - Na dude, it does help. I completely agree, I think that if I did quit now, and even if I got a new career that was awesome and made me a shit ton of money I would always have that piece in me that said "you failed". And seeing people like yourself who are destroying the workload with progression would frustrate the crap out of me lol, if that makes sense. Cheers for the links too, that TED lecture was pretty insightful. And if you like that motivational vid you'll probably enjoy this one too ;) -

BenFlores - Thanks Ben, i'm glad you got something from it. I was paranoid i'd sound all negative and depressing lol. Yeah video games are my short term painless route to nowhere which are my downfall. When considering your dreams and passion it's sometimes easy to think "wait, this isn't fun. Maybe this isn't my passion." But that's foolish, because anything worth pursuing is going to come with pain. That's just apart of growing I guess. That's something that has been flowing through my mind a lot the last couple of months anyways. I'm back on track now though, thanks a lot for your kind words and encouragement mate!

zakknroll - cheers dude, i'm glad you like ;) Hopefully much more to come in the near future.

wla91 - thanks man, and yeah I know what your saying. It's super easy to get distracted but at the same time, being able to push those distractions away is what will make you awesome. Stay focused buddy (I know that's rich coming from me lol :p) and best wishes for the future.
