I have ridiculously unrealistic expectations.

When I daydream, I'm going to have an HB10 within a year.

The truth is, I live at home with my parents and haven't gotten laid in five years (!).

Unrealistic expectations are good entertainment. And they can help you in the beginning. But as soon as you have a set back, the drive just evaporates. It's hard to make slow and steady progress.

What can I do?
