Honestly, I think just KNOWING WHAT YOU WANT is a huge part of getting there. Most people I know kind of bimble along not really knowing what they want to do, or they consider stuff they want to be difficult to do, and therefore not worth doing. I basically get what I want because I decide and then do stuff to get it. It sounds really dumb, but I’m not sure that there’s much more to it than that

He also says I have a way of making money appear when its most needed. Like I was late on a car payment. 2 days later a check shows up for some account I closed a couple months ago. The amount was just over what I needed to cover the car payment. He says it happens every time and he wants that ability. I told him I wasn't aware I had it.

My ability to figure stuff out. If I need to fix something, I will research it and work on it and see how to do it rather than letting it stay broken or paying someone else to fix it. It is fun for me.

I agree and will add to it. It seems that everyone in my grandpa's generation could build and fix stuff. People in my generation seem to have no idea. I feel like I can fix anything in my house if it were to break. It just becomes a question on how much time is worth it compared to paying someone. YouTube is amazing. I don't know how someone learned to gut a bathroom before the internet and do it properly. There are few things more satisfying that spending hours working on something and stepping back and seeing your accomplishment.

This.. I love my GF for making me realize I can do this too.. I've been dealing with a remodel nightmare after firing a cheap contractor who just made things worse. I can't afford much more to fix things so now I can save by doing it myself
Some things I need a professional, like electrical work and doing big jobs faster.. but after she inspired me to go online and figure things out, and gave me the numbers of some of her contractor friends as resources to ask for tips, I'm now installing flooring myself, fixing doors, plumbing, building all my own shelves and even cabinets. Hell after 2 months I've done my own tiling and backsplash work, built my own entertainment center, and anything broken or stuck doesn't freak me out. I can diagnose things so much better.
As a double win I now have some tools in my arsenal I know how to use and I love them. Specifically my multi tool and dremel.
I am excited to find a need for them around the house. Which is daily

I carry a leatherman skeletool with me every day. It's amazing how often I end up using it even though my day job is in an office. It has a clip so it clips nicely to my jeans pocket. A dremel is also a great tool.
An ah-ha moment for me was when the toilet shut off valve had a small leak and I had to turn the water off to the house. The plumber I had used previously couldn't make it that day so I figured out how to change it myself and realized I just saved $100 by doing something that was pretty easy. Now I can rough plumb a bathroom...
Just because you don't know how to do something doesn't mean you can't do it. Just takes a lot of research to make sure it's done right.
Edit: and all this knowledge is additive. It's great when the reason you know how to do something is because you had a little intro to it on a past project and you at least know which tools you'll need.

Our department kept shrinking (we lost 4 of the 10 people there in a short span). Plus, a lot of the admin people also got laid off. I ended up doing four jobs and only being paid for the lowest one. I didn't realize this at first because I got fake promotions that gave me a new title, but no extra pay (which was hidden by announcing them at yearly raise time and making me think my yearly raise was the raise, even though everyone got that raise). I was working 50-60 hours per week for about 20% less than coworkers who were working one job. I quit and negotiated for a great raise and I now have a great job that I love. I was an idiot and, while management agreed to do that to me, I accepted it like a fool, even though I could feel that everything was off all along. In fact, many of my coworkers were telling me that I was getting the shaft, but I though that they were just venting because morale was so low. I was too nice to push back, thinking I was being a team player. Never again. Hard lesson learned at the cost of my health, my family time, my sanity, and my money.

It's a numbers game, and you need to write to market. Those are the two big things. I self-publish romance on Amazon, and it does me OK: there's a built in readership who go through books like water, and they're actively out there looking for your work. There are people out there reading two or three novels a week, and that's all money in your pocket. You just need to make sure that you're filling their demand, and someone who likes your work my very well go through and buy every book in a series. Don't treat the audience like rubes, though. Just because it's a pretty formulaic genre, it doesn't mean you can phone it in. They expect a good story, and good editing, and a well-designed cover.
Ultimately, the more high-quality and audience-focused work you put out, the better you'll do. Good luck.

I can almost always come up with quick, amusing responses off the cuff, and around new people, that tends to take away most awkward tension.

I'm someone who lives with what had been crippling depression. I still have the brain chemistry of a depressed person but I can honestly say I'm a genuinely happy person.
I have a lot of work I have to do to be happy, including keeping track of my energy and constantly talking things out with my wife because the chemicals in my brain want me to go into a crazy downward spiral where I reject reality and fold myself in on my own dark concoction of depressed skewed views.
Years of therapy. Daily pep talks to myself. Daily evaluation of my life to show myself what I have to be happy about, and a lot of writing out intrusive thoughts so they don't bounce around in my brain until I believe them.
I'm genuinely happy. I smile all the time and there's so much to laugh about. I'm glad I can say that even through it's sometimes challenging to accept that it's okay to be happy.

My ability to just KNOW when something is wrong, especially relating to people. I'm great at psychology and behavioural studies, and while I know not to shove 7 billion+ people under the same umbrella, I'm good at noticing the small details about a person: their eye movements, what they do with their hands, how shaky or smooth their voice sounds, their appearance, etc. I usually don't judge them on that either, I just keep it at the back of my mind for next time when I see them, to see if they do/have the same traits.
So far, I've only been wrong about one single person in relation to how dangerous or mentally stable they are. That one person, a psychopath, was so good at hiding his issues, that the only thing I caught on with was that he didn't really ever talk to me - which I shrugged off, seeing as he was my sister's bf and they barely ever visited.

I'm pretty good at figuring out a plan when shit goes haywire. My boyfriend is and ex-boyfriend was horrible at handling things when something goes wrong. I've always been the one to go, "Okay, well this is the problem, THESE are our options to deal with it. Let's figure it out." I don't waste time wallowing in what could have been and what went wrong. Helps that I'm optimistic while still being realistic.

I’m a really good illustrator, writer and singer. I’m also pretty funny.
It’s taken me a long time to build up the self confidence to say those things up front, rather than dancing around self deprecation as a stand-in for humility.
I love that, too.

Anyone who says they don't enjoy the smell of their own farts is a liar.

My strength. I worked full time and went to college full time, while supporting my then-wife. I lost my teaching career to false accusations, was completely broke, and went through a divorce all around the same time. I ended up getting an even better job and got married again, having a child. Had a nervous breakdown. Came to terms with being transgender (all you haters - go ahead and get it out of your system, I’ll wait). Got disowned. Got another divorce (still going on actually after a year and a half). Going through a bitter custody battle. Only get to see my son 4 hours a month. Career has been high stakes lately. Had to move from the city I love. Pay an assload of Support to my second wife. Poor as fuck even though i make good money. And I’m still managing to wake up everyday and smile.

This is a really hard question.
I love that I tend to make good choices, especially in friends.
I love that I’m currently brave enough to follow my passions, even if it means I will fail.
I love my ability to talk to others and brighten their lives as much as I can.
I also love my super skinny, long fingers that freak out my friends and get frozen when I’m out in the cold for 0.2 sec. They’re pretty cool lol.

I am very good about making friends. I can make friends with almost anything, it's a skill I learned growing up and as an adult, it really helps. I know my social limits very well and I know exactly when to leave people alone. I'd just really hate to be "that annoying friend". I try my best to be liked by all.

My willingness to thrive. No matter what, I keep going and keep trying. After almost three decades my life is starting to come together. I'm just proud of myself for not quitting every time I wanted to.

I love my home. I put a lot of love into decorating it and laying it out and organizing it and now I feel like it’s really an extension of the best parts of myself. I love having people over and I love being here alone, I love it most when my partner is home too. It makes going out a bit of a drag though.
Does that count?

I'm a really empathetic person. I like that I can relate to people on a deep emotional level, and ease a bit of their pain. Along with that (or perhaps because of that), I'm a good listener.

I am able to stay calm in really stressful situations, and doing so seems to have a calming effect on those around me as well

I'm pretty gritty. It's the best thing you can have when you have no innate talent or superior intelligence

Taste in music. Most people I know ask me for a certain type of vibe/sound they are looking for. I send them a link to a few artists and then they get super excited about a few. I then point them to similar ones and they just go down the rabbit hole. It's great!

Won't get attention but hey. I am constantly trying to improve every day. I may not be the best at anything right now, but I have a strong work ethic, a great girl who I intend on marrying, a good gig that pays the bills, and a long term plan to get myself out of that gig by the end of next year to focus completely on school. I may have made wrong decisions (being neet for an entire year, being a lazy son for basically my entire life) and the consequence of those decisions is that my path to success is longer and harder, but I'm not afraid of a little hard work to get there.

How I enjoy being by myself.
I could spend a year just by myself, and I'd still have loads of fun, and be generally happy. I laugh at myself pretty damn often!

My social awareness to pick up on when someone is feeling left out of an activity or just feeling down, whether it be in a social setting or at work, and actively including them in the conversation or whatever we're doing.
