You Made It! .:. Walk & Talk Series

@relf87: Yay these words of wisdom videos are back! In the end, you do "your thing." You are happy with what you are doing, and then the "bad days" come... as they have to come... It's normal... Everything looked so wrong; why was that happening? It makes no sense! I made all the right moves! In addition, all those people who told you not to DO IT are back again, rubbing it in your face... "We told you!" I agree with this and so much of what you said in the video. Over the last few years, I figured that it was always better to be contrarian and be different from the rest, but like what you said, there will always be bad days and cycles and the journey is never easy. Among my social circle, I am probably the most unconventional when it comes to stuff like cryptos. Fortunately, over time, I have learnt to surround myself with like minded friends, be it on Hive, and a few of my friends, who don't mind me blabbering all these stuff. !LUV

@duskobgd: Yesterday I sat down for coffee with one of my younger former colleagues. Programmer in a foreign company, married, loan for an apartment. car loan, three children, the youngest only one and a half years old. Tired, overburdened, constantly in a rush, he said at one point that he does not see where this world and our lives are going and why we are trying at all. He say "I can't wait for the children to grow up, finish high school and say goodbye to them and stop doing anything.". "Well my friend, take it easy, don't stare. Considering that you have a baby, I appreciate that for at least another 15 to 20 years you should be a top dad, their superhero and the strongest man in the world. I won't hear you whine like this," I told him. "And then, when the children finish college and find a job, say goodbye to them. See them off to life, and only then go on vacation." I don't know what got into him? Maybe these protests against the corrupt government and the very fact that he lives with his family in such a thieving state. But he has to find strength in his family, to change his thinking a little. To motivate himself to keep pushing hard. When I listen to him, with the story that he lacks a motive for life and has three small children, our motivation for Hive, crypto or generally making money, seems like some children's story, naive and cute 🙂

@alex-rourke: For most of my adult life I've been an employee, working for someone else's company (and learning in the process). I quit my job 7 years ago, in 2018 and, like you, I've gotten many strange looks. I don't always stay motivated in this entrepreneur lifestyle, but I think an amazing tool to use when motivation is low is called discipline. If you don't feel like it, you do it anyway. I don't know what will happen in 2030, but I know I'll have some HIVE in my wallet. If I'm right, and the price changes, I'll have some money to put away for a rainy day. Great video my friend!

@videoaddiction: You are not alone. Many people of Gen Y experienced it. I think that support and care from family from adolescence to adulthood in one's life is so important. If this was missed, then they have no right to criticize your decisions.

@takhar: Those days are make or break moments depending on the perspective we approach it. I think for me is mostly remembering that this too shall pass , so I tried to not get emotionally attached to bad/good moments or exaggerate them to the point that I lost myself in the process. Thinking long term or zooming out is also a great way to not get stuck in the noise of the changing everyday/weekly moments.

@josediccus: I think the world is a lump of risk and everyone takes risks, just not as weird or strange as the mob. For me, I'm in that place in my life where I'm closing to failing because of the many ridiculous decisions I made in the past, but I hope the unconventional says I've choosen will pay off for me.

@cmplxty: One of the hardest things to do in life is stay true to your beliefs in spite of the people around us saying we shouldn’t and should modify it. I’ve known it several times, and a few critically important times. It’s super difficult mentally and emotionally but we have to have resolve and do what we need to do. Hopefully you can maintain your resolve and the people around you will either change their opinion to appreciate yours more, or they will leave the subject alone.

@r1s2g3: I feel taking a break when demotivated, I do not want to drag myself in unhappy and demotivated situation because it make you further feel bad and more demotivated. Sometime , try the new strategy for the same work will help. And most important to be content and do comparision what changes for you in last 3 month by doing this work, if there is no impact then leave it.

@jfang003: I think it's tough to just stick to one job. A lot of people are doing multiple different things, and I don't think its bad to be doing so many things. Be proud of what you did, and if you aren't, then make some changes so you are. I don't think its a waste at all because those experiences end up shaping who you become.

@gadrian: Hmmm... I could feel it in your voice that things are getting to you... Perhaps coupled with the uncertainty of nowadays, both in crypto and generally. I had many doubts. Haven't had them for a while, at least not when it comes to crypto, although I, like many, don't know what will be next, since crypto is affected by what's going on in the world, in general. I guess it's better to focus on something else for a while, if possible, to reduce the worries. Regarding family support, I often have heard, like you, the words "sell before you lose everything", or something similar. And yep, it bothered me. And yep, sometimes I reacted. Other times, I simply ignored what they were saying.

@quark.top: Very good, @ph1102: "... the majority isn't right ..." A little tongue in cheek perhaps, but can we say the majority don't give any hint of understanding this? Funny. Not funny. What you write is deeply rooted and grounded in the truth. In raising our children to understand this, it is not too far from this same truth that they need to develope the strength of character to stand alone, if necessary. Life experience would strongly suggest the closer to this ideal they can get, the better off they are going to be over time.

@digi-me: Great post! Well written, had to laugh of 😂 "We told you!" You would like to scream like the guy

@davideownzall: Did I waste my time? Was this all worth it? i think that's one of the most common thinking... and if the answer is no there is no rewind motivation is needed, without you dont really even have a reason to wake up

@dantrin: Most of the people are watching you to fail so they can rejoice. Keep winning so they can watch forever.

@pocketechange: I always feel that nobody believes a word I write... Oh well... Nobody will be able to say I didn't try...
