Our country is one of practically limitless opportunity. Even though our overblown governmental rules and regulations often grab enterprising individuals by the throat and squeeze with little mercy, sheer determination and force of will can break this stranglehold and propel the industrious goal reacher forward.
After all, the only other option is to just 'play it safe'. Take no risks, set goals which do nothing to stretch your imagination and extend your reach. Concentrate on having a regular career, a 'real job' with a surefire (?), but unsatisfying, paycheck. A job which does nothing to nourish the drives, dreams, and ambitions of an accomplishment-driven individual. A job which leeches every drop of desire and soon-to-be jaded joy from the soul.
The road less traveled is certain to be rougher, scarier, and overgrown with thorny difficulties. Not an easy path, to be sure, and even the bold traveler who sees himself as that different sort of person, one who has an IDEA to sound out, a fixation which leads him to make the hard choice to follow the alternate route through life, is not guaranteed to find his destination at the end, but such a traveler is savvy enough to know that he IS guaranteed to NOT find his goal at the end of the easy path - that vapid, over-trodden thoroughfare leads to mere comfort from conformity, as well as disappointment, disillusionment, and self disgust.
Find your joy, revive your dreams, and then live.
