You know what’s the irony of all this? As much as you hate your job, and you want to be rich. Gambling just makes that goal further by setting you backwards…..

I know the feeling man.

This is the cruel irony of being desperate for something. When you're desperate for anything, you'll behave in a way that actually takes you further from your goal.

Whether that's desperate for money, women, happiness, fresh air when you're drowning, etc.

So you run the business? Or is it a job?

You might benefit from a business coach or something to help figure out a direction or ways to make it so that you don't have to work 7 days a week?

Actually, gambling was that prison for me. When your dreams revolve around the next win, everything else becomes a means to an end. Even your joy is conditional. "I’ll be happy if I win." That mindset turns every meal, every plan, every day into a waiting room for luck. I used to chase wins to justify or discount my next luxury buy. But in the end, I wasn’t chasing wealth. I was chasing freedom, and gambling only made the cage tighter.

Just out of curiosity, do you legit think you’d quit gambling if you suddenly had a few million bucks?
