You've got this and GOD has you. Learning new things is good. You weren't BS ing. You've got this......One day at a time.

I feel what you’re saying bro. It’s real talk. You just gotta remember that you are capable of anything.

People sometimes are shocked that people have anxiety or worry even when they have achieved something successfully. You're looking back with regrets and looking forward with worry. And it is all real. This is what makes your channel great and you fun to listen to. You are real. I was in the Navy 10 years ago and now am trying to break into MSC or SIU. That is what has brought me to be a subscriber to you. When we look past the stern while underway we see the foam left behind by the props turning. That foam soon disappears. Let that be your regrets. We all can look back at that foam as we pass and wish we had done things differently because hindsight is 20/20. But thinking negatively about the past won't change what it was. But we can all learn from it and forge ahead differently. There are positive things from you waiting for 10 years to make the moves you have made. If you find yourself there, think about what things you learned from that period that will help you going forward. Everyone fails. It is so cliché, but true, that successful people are those who got up again when they fell. You have courage. It is what has got you to apply for wiper and move ahead that direction. If you let your worry about failing hold you back now, think about how you will feel in another 10 years of not going down the path you are now on. You will succeed, despite any failure that befalls you in the future, because of who you are. You are doing smart things with your money you earn. You may have had a failure with the trucking business, but that didn't hinder your property rentals. You are smart with your living arrangements. You had the motivation to do this KZbin channel and stick with it. That takes work. But we all appreciate it. Sorry for the length of this, but you're a good dude and it shines through in your posts. As I said, you are real. Best of luck in the engineering department, and I hope to serve with you at sea sometime soon.

@CounselorAtLarge damn fam. Thanks for saying this. Amd fersure. Sometimes I get nervous thinking of the next steps I have to take to get where I wanna go. But no matter how scared i get I always have to move Onward and upward 👏🏽 thanks man again. Much appreciated

[@ralph5899]

I know how you feel. As a kid all I knew about tools was a hammer and a screwdriver. I had to open the book and learn. I took a trade school course in electronics, and I haven't looked back. There is so much that can be learned on KZbin. I had a variable frequency device which controls the speed of a motor had no programming instructions. I found it on KZbin. Don't sell yourself short. You got this.

[@MikeMills1]

Thanks man. Ima do my best and youtube academy definitely going to be in full effect now 😂

[@Factsovafiction]

You built for this .soon this will be a thing of the past and you be a electrician in know time

[@MikeMills1]

Hopefully soon !!!

[@natelammers652]

Don’t dwell on the past 10 years. Like you said, you set yourself up for the future and accomplished a lot of amazing goals outside of your work. Now that that is somewhat on autopilot now you can shift some of that focus to your career. Don’t push yourself too hard. Ask questions and keep that hard work attitude and the good engineers will mentor you. As you work with others in the QMED position, once you feel you have the adequate knowledge to do that position, then go to school. With the severe shortage of sailors, you don’t want to do the QMED FWOT class and then get forced by MSC to sail at that capacity if you are not ready. Take your time, learn as much as you can. You got this!

[@MikeMills1]

Thank you !! And you right. Just trying to progress quickly to make up for time I guess. Lol

[@tootheplace9682]

Can't wait to experience your new journey! It's here and its happening, lets get it done!!!

Yurrrppp

[@geddon436]

Pefect timing.................Almost everything you said, is how I'm feeling. I spent too many years stagnated in a job, not TRYING to improve myself, because of chronic health issues, and fear of facing the uncertaintiy of the outside world, I was just doing enough to get by, coming back home and play video games in the limmited time I had available...............I've been searching on how get out of the hole I'm in, searching for what I can do, I wish I could work on ships, unfortunately, I can't............

[@MikeMills1]

What prevents you from coming to work on ships exactly?

[@MikeMills1]

Good luck my guy. Money cones and goes. So you either learn a skill that makes you invaluable or own enough that it doesn't even matter. Both take a bunch of determination
