It's true. Everyone else is coping. My accomplishments (self control, hard work, everything I consider important), nobody cares. The only thing that ever got me anywhere was dumb luck. Funny enough important people like Gordon Ramsay's mentor also say luck. I notice midwits like Oprah and Bezos say muh work muh effort but they didn't do anything. If I ever make it, it wasn't my doing.
The most successful person I ever learned from told me that most successful people succeed because someone helped them. He wasn't saying it in a cynical fashion but rather as a kind of master-disciple role where at some point people on top look for successors because children are not always the ones that do so. People get a certain satisfaction of seeing someone follow them and that I think is part of the luck at least in some professions with limited spots.
>If God cared about me, why doesn't he make me rich?
This might be the dumbest post I've ever seen and that's saying something. I mean like the genuine dregs of human thought - indirectly proving Idiocracy as nearly divine revelation stupid. Wow.
If God had a greater purpose for me, you would think he would spare me the monotony and struggles of menial life and subsisting. Why would he create me to waste my life? Why not at least provide the means to allow me to do what I or even he would want. People say there's some greater purpose and I used to believe it but after a few decades in, I don't think that's true. I've deliberately made my life as boring as possible (no phone, no TV, usually no internet) in hopes God would do something but he hasn't. If I was rich I could at least pursue hobbies, read and rich. Being in poverty moreover has only been an occasion for sin so why not let me escape such a situation? Money would solve nearly all my impediments, especially spiritual. Unlike OP I don't care or desire fame or le sex.

repent, arrogant fool. it’s not your place to question God’s intent, He gave you free will and all the tools to achieve your purpose but you choose to be lazy slime.

You should try keeping the seventh day sabbath holy. It gives a blessed rest from secular work. It's the rest you need from the monotony and struggles of life in a fallen world.

You might like to learn more about this matter and this is a great video series for that.

I do. It doesn't help. If only God made me mediocre and unintelligent I wouldn't care. The day off is just another reminder my life is being wasted. I sometimes wish I worked 7 days a week non stop so I wouldn't need to think about anything.
A magic elf offers you a choice between two options:
>You will produce a sublime work of literature on par with Moby Dick, Ulysses, etc, but it's only recognized posthumously after you spent a lifetime life toiling in obsession and obscurity.
>You become a rich and famous writer tpday but it's by producing vacuous Brandon Sanderson/J.K. Rowling tier writing.
jk rowling shit will be like alice in wonderland or grimm's fairly tales people will be reading that shit for centuries i guarantee it while ulysses is already boring jacking off on the beach might have been shocking in 1917 but no one cares and catholics are going extinct so his shillbase is shriveling
>Rich and famous writer
You've already lost if this is your goal, because a large part of that is luck rather than talent
COPE
cope my man

You can't know that
If it can happen to Andy Weir, it can happen to me.
So? Maybe God’s purpose for you is much greater than that
Like what? Only bad thing about OP is the vainglory and lust. If God cared about me, why doesn't he make me rich?

Write a story about it.
A story just for you.
>mfw I have enough money to buy what I need
>mfw there are people who like my writings
>mfw happily single and in between girlfriends
I'm both enjoying my time alone and looking forward to meeting a special someone. que será, será.
hello
Not interested either
Who even was the last famous writer? Jk rowling? Bret easton ellis? The bird that wrote fifty shades?
I will be a rich and famous writer, i will not have a cute gf, i will die of alcoholism. what are you going to do about that? huh?

100% the literature option on the proviso that I knew while I was alive that it would eventually be recognised.
>once i get a ton of pussy and have the means for unbridled consumption then i WILL be happy, i just know it!
hedonism will leave you even emptier
I got closest to the third one,and I might still get it.
Just buy IQfy ads like Call of the Crocodile and meme yourself to fame like F Gardner did
Bidglass has ended their relationship with IQfy =[
I'm gonna do even better: become a reclusive writer whose masterpiece is only discovered and published after his death from alcoholism at age 42.
Postmortem fame is not a fate that I would want. I want to experience any recognition I may get while I'm alive, unless I chose to be obscure in life.
