What are your motives for living the life you do and why have you chosen to do that and not something else ? I love to make people laugh and tell stories . I always have , since I was a kid . I ' ve never been good at anything else . I ' m not very business savvy . I never did well in school . The things I like are all very simple . Bringing people together . Making people happy . Falling in love . Enjoying my time and my interests . So I didn ' t over complicate things . I took a day job that paid decently and could help with the bills while I pursued a career as a standup comedian . It hasn ' t been easy and the odds of performing standup comedy for a living are very slim . But that ' s what I ' m good at and it ' s what I want to do . So it ' s what I ' m going for . I ' m not forcing it . Everything happens in its own time but I feel way less stressed nowadays because I made things simple for myself , with no deadline , and no expectations . And the path so far has been awesome . I really hope you find a path that speaks to you . Even if it ' s something very simple to what you most enjoy .
