It's really refreshing to be in a new spot. Sometimes if you feel stuck, or things are not moving the first thing to do is to switch things up. It helps you to keep on moving which is really important.
So keep moving, it'll feel good to be on beat.

What is really patience? What is really self-discipline?
I'm sure we've all had a good amount of advice from people we look up to or have been mentored by, but at the end of the day do we really understand what we have learned? Have we applied our knowledge to everyday life?
I don't have the exact answer yet for the meaning of patience and self-discipline but as a definition it's quite simple.
I have a friend who I live with, and he's a web designer for Sony Computer Entertainment (the video game sector). He's valuable, efficient, and intelligent. One thing that amazes me is he's able to negotiate his work hours to no more that 6 hours a day. As a web designer for Sony, he's "the web guy" for MLB and quite good at it. What he does on his off times is work out and play video games. I used to be critical about his lifestyle, but understanding free will I think it's a great thing that he's doing what he wants to do. I've been able to see that he lives his life like a game, a game that's supposed to be fun. I used to question where his self discipline was but his actions and results make so much sense. When he's supposed to "work" it's a game to him. If we can look at self discipline and patience as a game, it will flip the script on how we look at these things.
So ask yourself, are you working or playing?

Are you meant to live and die in the same city you were born in?
To answer that question, I don't believe so. I believe that the world is one big habitat that we humans have the right to move around in. It's a beautiful thing to be able to think about something we desire and move towards it.
I have to admit, while I have all these great ambitions I've only tapped probably 60 percent in achieving these wants/goals. Being absolutely honest to myself, I'm probably the laziest person I know while at the same time the most hard working.
I've never been able to find that balance yet, where it would be perfect to be able to do something bit by bit and see it accomplished. I like working on something without being distracted to see it finished. For example, if you worked on a project that required a month of estimated time to complete it, you would probably work piece by piece on it per week. Where for myself I'd prefer to do 2 weeks (14 days) non stop to get it done and have the project complete with 2 weeks to chill and have fun.
It's extreme, and right now I admit it's not good. But it feels absolutely natural for me. You have to find what is natural for you, so if you can find balance in your life, RUN IT(DO IT). Because I understand myself, I am in constant movement. I believe that change is good for us, and if you are cool staying at where you are that's fine as well. Life is simple, and right now it might feel complicated but if you can "let go" in the wave of life the ride will be a fun one. I've learned that analogy from surfing, and being in the water all the time. I know that if you are balanced and happy/content with where you are at by all means keep at it, but if you are unhappy/balanced I suggest you make some new choices. It's that simple people, you and I are here to move, do things, and of course obtain those desires.
"Stay hungry and stay foolish".
