"Find the prize, find the price, pay it!"

Just as Steve has posted a quote on my web site that inspired him to create his site, SelfHelpCollective.com, this quote is what has inspired me to create mine:
"Find the prize, find the price, pay it!" - Joe Pici
Finding the Prize...
I used to be very depressed in my early twenties. I was working three jobs and living at home just to make ends meet. I had finished university studying something it turned out I didn't care for much.
It wasn't until I met a mentor who shared this quote with me that I decided to ask myself "What do I want?"
I started daring to dream, and found pictures on the internet of my dreams (like owning a Lamborghini, living overseas, etc...) and dared to go after them (even though I felt like the biggest loser at the time!)
I searched for opportunities to live overseas, found one to come teach in Korea and I made the jump!
Now I have built two small business ventures, have been on TV, am teaching children about financial independence (which is a dream come true) and more!
I'm still struggling though, and fighting the fight to attain what I want.
In fact, I share more of my story on my web site ( www.SelfImprovedMe.com) where I talk about some of the struggles and hardships I've got through to get to where I am today.
Thank you Steve for hosting my story!

STEVE COMMENT:
You're welcome, Dan. It's great to hear people's stories as they are part way through their journey rather than at the finish line with millions in the bank and success achieved. And I have no doubt that you'll get there sooner or later. :-)
By the way, where's my quote on your site, Dan? I'll link to it here!
As for everyone else, I'm sure you can think of a story to share that will a) inspire yourself and b) inspire others who read it - please share your story here
