Justifiably skeptical about accounts less than 24 hours old posting threads like this, but if you are indeed newer to chess/chess.com, then good luck on your chess journey 
Becoming a chess Grandmaster (GM) isn't easy though. Most people never come close to realizing just how much work it takes to become a titled chess player and a GM is the elite of even that elite!
Titled chess players make up less than 1% of all chess players and GMs + IMs (International Masters) COMBINED make up less than half of the top 1% of all chess players!
Similarly, there are more billionaires in the world than chess Grandmasters. I guess it just depends on how badly you want it and what your desires are. Don't get me wrong, if becoming a chess Grandmaster is truly your dream, then I say go for it, but I feel like a large percentage of people who claim that is their dream actually have no idea how much effort it takes, what being a GM is like in life-style (it is stressful and not usually that luxurious) and simply want to be known as one of the "best" chess players...which you can still achieve at a level much lower than GM.

Yep I know how hard it is vaguely. The fact that most GMs are child prodigies with natural talent and have studied and played chess since childhood makes it much more challenging. I will aim as high as I can, and be satisfied with what I achieve, whether it be GM hopefully, or even any ranked player.
Thanks for the encouragement
