I turned 24 a few months ago, graduated college with a degree in Computer Systems last year, and work a shitty help desk IT job that i'll be quitting in a few months. I'm only here at this job for a pay check as i do photography/videography on the side and i'm starting to get into acting and music. Hopefully one of these things either offers me a better career or more financial success
So heres the big problem. I have a huge ego. So huge to the point where i feel anything that i put my mind to is achievable. Doesn't sound bad does it? It can be at times. For example, look at someone like Jay Z. Came from NY (like me), didn't have much growing up (like me), is black (like me), and he became a billionare. My ego makes me feel if he can do it and be THAT successful, i can too. The big issue is feeling stressed and pressured by yourself as well as having outlandish goals (millionaire/billionaire goals). Feeling like every moment that you're not "making moves" is a wasted moment. I'm 24 and know im still young and have time to develop whatever skills needed to be successful, but i feel its the millennial in me that's wanting it to happen sooner rather than later.
How can i deal with this pressure that i'm putting on myself to succeed? Because honestly its starting to stress me out
