Keep On Going

There’s a lot of reasons to want to quit any big dream you may have. Maybe someone who is close to you may have somehow convinced you that your dream is impossible. I like to remind myself that other people cannot control what goes on in my mind. They can’t control my actions. Only I can control my thoughts and actions. They’re just judging you by what they have experienced. It doesn’t matter if I still don’t have a job. Yes, things do not look like they are going in my favor, but I have a goal I must accomplish and I won’t let anyone or anything stand in my way. The world will remember who Kevin Navarro is. I don’t care if it takes me over a thousand or even a million tries just to become successful. Persistence is key. Motivation is key. I’m going to start a business. After starting my first business, it will branch out into other businesses. Becoming a rich and powerful man was my destiny. It’s only a matter of time before I finally earn my first million dollars. Who cares if you lose friends and family in the process. I never hung out with any friends to begin with (, especially friends that are girls). And I won’t be lonely if I don’t have a significant other. The moon is my best friend, and through the stars high up in the sky, I will be connected to other individuals just like myself. They are intelligent guys and girls who think just like me. As one, we are weak, but together, we can take over the world. Imagine the possibilities. Finally, I will be able to travel to Mexico and meet my grandparents for the first time. In the end, it won’t matter what my childhood or adolescence was like. What will matter is that I lived through it all. I manage to stay positive even when it all seems hopeless.

Every Step Counts

Every day is a new opportunity. As long as I am alive, I have the choice to create a fulfilling life for myself and the people around me. Yes, I am nineteen years old. Sometimes people don’t take me seriously. The important thing to remember is that I have plans, goals, dreams, aspirations etc. Is it childish to have such a strong vision? Am I a bad person for wanting to be a millionaire? It is up to what one believes. Make the most with what you have and, remember, your subconscious is filled with endless possibilities. There is something to be learned in every situation; you just have to be smart enough to realize what it is truly happening.

More Money and More Problems

Sometimes, I wonder what’s going on with my life financially. I ask myself a lot of questions about the world and my place in it. Will I ever become a multimillionaire success? I believe that I must have plenty of money because money brings new opportunities. It opens the doors I had always believe were closed. I have a dream, and every day is a battle to follow that dream until I become rich.

Everyone probably has the similar goals, but most people end up giving up because they feel like they are getting know where. I know how they feel because I myself have struggled with following my dream. Because of the my bipolar disorder, I experience many episodes of hopelessness. There are three main things that let me down whenever I ruminate about my life experiences. First, I was not able to finish high school. Second, I do not have a job, and I have been rejected by all the employers, including a community service job. Third, I do not have a driver’s licence and I don’t know how to drive a car.

When I was in the ninth grade, I developed anxiety and a few paranoia issues. I ended up leaving because I couldn’t handle the stress from school. I told everyone that I had neck spasms because at the time, that’s what I was feeling. By the time I got the eleventh grade, I only had about 11.5 credits. In my high school, you needed about 26.5 to graduate. Being as it may, that was not the reason for my mysterious departure. I left school because I was having sleep issues and because I was hallucinating. How do you explain that story to everyone that knows you? I was sixteen. I found it difficult to figure out what clothes to buy. Eventually I ended up going back to high school at seventeen. But I was even more stressed than I was the year I left. I was a teenager; my mind was still developing. To make matters worse, I was also overweight and on medication for bipolar disorder. Yes, it does haunt me. I have had bad dreams where I was graduating with everyone in 2014, but then, right when I’m about to receive my diploma, I get dragged into a black hole. Once you drop out of high school, a lot of things in your life change. I became a delinquent. People thought differently of me. I was forced to live in the shadow of my smarter self, a self that I could not find as easily anymore.

Currently, I don’t have a job. I was about to work at Best Western a year ago when I was eighteen, but I couldn’t go back on account of my sleep issues. Without any sleep, it would be hard to stay focused while working. Nowadays I guess I gave up on submitting applications for a part-time job. I live in a small town on the other side of Portland, Oregon. Not much happens in Hood River. I still like it here though because I was born in Hood River, Oregon. I’m going to try harder to get a job and even if I don’t get a job, at least I tried. There are some people like myself that don’t even make an attempt.

Now here comes the best part: I do not have a driver’s licence and I don’t know how to drive a car. My dad is overprotective. He believes that restraining me from driving will postpone any accidents. I disagree. Why? Because I’m nineteen years old. Driving is a privilege I want to earn not abuse. To me, driving brings freedom. And yet, I can’t help but acknowledge my father’s way of thinking. It does feel like torture. It can be seen as embarrassing. On the bright side, there are plenty of other kids and teens just like me. They also are not allowed to drive. I guess this is my father’s way of displaying his kindness and concern for my brothers and I. If you’re going to a hard time in your life, realize that I am also. I am at the peak of my teenage years. I am supposed to be having lots of fun and excitement. I always wanted to go to concerts or festivals. Today, I don’t really call or text anyone to “hang out” with. The only ones I hang out with are my brothers and family, and they are starting to find me annoying. I also don’t have a girlfriend, but I don’t want one. Building a business and starting a corporation
