Change your thoughts and you change your world (Norman Vincent Peale).
A proper mindset with strong beliefs is fundamental to a good life. Be aware of your values, set your priorities and act accordingly. That's true for your personal and professional life but even more for your journey as a part-time builder. It's a long ride and gets tough very early if you're only motivated by money, fame, or any other short-term desire. Hence, you better find your way to enjoy the journey.
Developing your own philosophy is the most rewarding long-term thing you can work on. And it gets more interesting with every additional year on your clock. I can only encourage you to spend some time on this to frame your own bigger picture of life.
