Being as young as I am, there are bound to be new experiences that can or will change my thought-frames as life continues.
A life trap I’ve recognized is the trap of a false career.
There are jobs that demand, demand, demand. It is your duty to fulfill these demands, being the employee. When is enough, enough?
The world is about advancement and continuation, on any scale you choose to imagine.

The world is not about coddling; it is full of atrocities!
Blending together, you enter the social standard of capitalism. In this society, it is a dog eat dog world. There are no equals; you have no equal. A person born into the same standard as you could fail miserably, just as you could flourish. You do what you have to reach to the top.
This is obvious if you look into the psychopathology of narcissism and sociopathy, and how they reach to the top of their aspirations.
However, does reaching to the top equate to success? Considering the ego distortion, even the most successful psychopaths will feel empty. The ego has a success drive, but it has no limit. Tipping the scale calls for the Principle of Polarity. The pendulum swings. Now, there’s emptiness.
It seems to be very important to recognize when you are giving yourself up.
If your thought-frame at all times is to be successful, where do you go when you “reach” it? Albeit fiction, Daenerys Targaryen knew nothing other than to conquer and empower. She reached her aspiration, and her view did not narrow -- her horizon broadened. If you have no limit, then there is no success. Success requires a personal threshold. Limiting yourself is an act of self-discipline towards success so that you do not set yourself up for failure.
Limiting yourself is a cognitive requirement to have a clear view of aspirations.
The more you whore yourself out to a job,
The more you see they don’t give a fuck,
The more stress you bring home,
The more you will feel stuck.
Following nature’s school of thought, existentialism seems to be the best way to set yourself up for success.
Accept that all jobs are not meant to be careers. Accept that jobs are only just jobs so you can achieve success. Do not allow a false career to be a hindrance. Allow employment to be a stepping stone to your threshold of success.
