Aviation is pretty amazing. And it always will be. But aviation is a wet dream compared to the inconvenient fact that one must also work to make it fly. Work sucks. Flying is beauty. Flying for work is a mixed bag.
Flying is great but eventually it becomes like driving a car. To stay motivated is to resist a natural human feeling of getting "used" to something. Remember that hot girl you dated and all that exciting time you spent with her? What happened 5 years later? Is she still that new, hot chick? What changed?
Things grow and get old. Thats life. But that's no excuse to give up on flying. It's the amount of happiness one gets from life that is the real wealth. Do what makes you happy and do it until you lose your smile.
But don't go to sleep with a poster of Hawaii airlines over your bed. It's a tough industry, one that resists personal plans and screws you over from time to time.
Work hard, play hard, and follow your heart.
