Why did I read all these with the accents of the characters?

Feel the same, having less than you (in fact, never had any 'dream'). I think is OK to just enjoy your peace and happiness, maybe you'll get a new dream at another time. I would try doing new things to fire new challenges

Nope, I just give a shit about doing my best.
Don't give a fuck what anyone else thinks.
Don't make excuses, period.

When I used to teach I would say “you didn’t fail, you just haven’t succeeded yet.”
Failure is a big word, like “hate”.. it’s easy to throw around but it can carry serious weight for some people. So I like to acknowledge the fact that we’re still learning and like the mythbusters said “Failure is always an option.” But as long as you keep trying, you’ll succeed eventually. Either you succeed at your goal or you learn something.
So whenever I fail at something I just call it a “learning opportunity” and keep going, because I didn’t fail… I just haven’t succeeded yet.
Life is full of learning opportunities, and it’s how we react to them that determines how and how much we grow! Messing up and failing a little doesn’t mean you suck… it means you were brave enough to try something to begin with! When I see a chubby person at the gym I don’t think “Haha.. FAT! Why are they here?!” even though I know what’s what they’re imagining people thinking.. I choose to think of the self discipline and courage to change and better themselves and I have respect for that person. I don’t laugh when I see a teenager falling down wearing dorky pads at the skatepark… I applaud their determination to learn and take care of their body. “Bad” art is just a stepping stone to becoming an amazing artist! Everyone starts somewhere and everyone hits speedbumps. We all fail before we succeed.
Trying takes effort and courage, remember that. Failures are opportunities to learn and grow, so when it inevitably happens, take a moment to understand why it happened and do better next time with new information. Don’t be ashamed of growing and getting better, because that’s how life works. We all stumble before we walk. No one was born an artist or athlete, they got there by failing again and again until they succeeded.

Reply to [Text] I need to find a higher paying job, but self doubt makes me feel like I can’t handle any job by thequeasydream
Do you have an education? If yes, maybe stop looking for service-based jobs, and focus more on what your education covers. If no, best I can say is find something you’re passionate about and just stick with it. You’ll make mistakes, but who doesn’t?

Can this be flipped as well. “Your don’t want success/wealth, you want others to see you succeed/wealthy.” Why?

This state is what every person should strive to achieve as opposed to financial success, although both would be perfect. Just pure bliss due to the family around you. Long may it continue for you!

Capitalism has brainwashed us into thinking we constantly need to be “striving” for MORE. It’s a scam. You should be overjoyed that you feel content with your life. If you’re looking for goals, focus on those that nurture your soul and bring you into the present moment.

The simultaneous knowledge of knowing tonight is spelled wrong and that the message is basically saying "you shouldn't give a dang about people nitpicking stuff like spelling" is very confusing.

Or go back to university, to study something you love. That’s what I did, and it worked out wonderfully.

No, that's projection. You are afraid of failing because you'll judge yourself.
