Don Juan
Lately, I've been focused on finding a new job after wrapping up my consulting projects. I've been staying at home doing work. My main priorities have been searching for a new, better paying full-time job, learning marketable skills, and working out at the gym. The only time I leave the house is for the gym and to meet up with friends occasionally.
As I've been trying to stay focused on my work, I sometimes get flashes of anger about my past and where I'm at today, living at home as I look to transition to a job in a brand new field, which requires more effort since I have to translate my skills over on my resume. I'm completely aware that I have to keep moving forward. I can't help that occasionally, I get upset about how little I've dated in my 20s (and for the dates I've been on, how I failed and wasn't aggressive enough), how I've never had a job that made over $60K, and don't have a single skill where I'm amazing at as I'm above average in a lot of different things. Combine this frustration with my most recent flakes & rejections, my head boils over as I'm closer to 30 without any options.
I'm trying to stay patient and keep my irritation under control as I focus on doing serious, consistent work on myself. This journey is not impossible, but certainly not easy.

- How do you stay calm and maintain momentum and focus in achieving your goals & priorities?
- Where and how can I meet more women when I usually end up going to a downtown area with bars & restaurants with friends? I feel like I'm not considering other places out there with quality women aside from pretentious girls living up their nightlife.
