Having a hard life

I think a lot of your misery is coming from your frame of mind. I am hearing some victim mentality coming through your post here, and that will not help with happiness or success. It's tempting to fall into that especially when you have in fact worked very hard and you haven't seen the results you expected. But I suspect that your efforts and struggles will hardly turn out to have been a waste, even if you didn't get into med school.

But here's the deal, you have to keep trying and learning from your mistakes. There will come a point where you catch a break a little bit, but even then you'll still have to keep working hard. And there will be more challenges and set backs. And you could get reduced to nothing tomorrow because of circumstances beyond your control. What then? Will your mental state and happiness be entirely at the whim of your external world?

But that hasn't happened yet, so you still have time to train yourself and learn something new and keep going. This won't be the last time in your life that you are feeling like you have to pick up the pieces and build something new again. Best to figure out how to enjoy the process and appreciate the challenge.

Welcome to life.

Every effort doesn’t necessarily end in success. Sometimes you pour yourself into a task and get burned.

Nobody gets anything for free, what you’re seeing is 1/2 of a transaction taking place.

You haven't found yet the value you can offer to the world. You sound lost and it's time to do some soul searching.

And you think your life is hard? Imagine if you have no limbs, and then some guy who have everything in place say to you that his life is hard, what would you think? Have some perspective man.

Also, you’re a fucking man, you can take anything life throws at you with a smirk in your face.

Do you have some disability?

You have to be pretty, talented and have iq for resources to pour on you.

You are probably not someone who keeps semper fi to people.

We are not an individualist society we are a gene society and being genetically gifted by having awesome iq, memory, talents etc is what is necessary.

Hard work is hard and work only because your innate abilities are barely there.
