Great. A positive and determined attitude will help a lot. The trick is maintaining it even when things go south, which they will. Probably a few times.
I was stuck in a rut in my early 20s. I failed out of college, and was back living with my parents. I was depressed, and directionless.
I ended up fucking off accross the country with a tiny amount of money, and no solid plan. It was really hard. I was always broke. Always had car trouble. Had legal trouble. Eventually, though I got on my feet and, very gradually became relatively successful. I think it made me much tougher, wiser and more confident to have started totally from scratch in a new place. Granted, I wasn't fleeing an insane tyrannical government. That's even a better motivation!
