There's always so much going on at every time of the day and if you blink, you will miss out on something. Over the years, I've learned not to beat myself over missed opportunities.
I mean, yeah, it sucks when it happens but if you focus on your strong points and try to consolidate on them, you won't feel too bad about things that go over your head.
To simplify it, I just tell myself that the missed opportunities weren't for me. It doesn't mean missing out won't hurt though. However, you're going to have a better shock absorber when you prepare yourself for it.
As the old adage goes "even if you're walking under the rain, not every raindrop will touch you". It means, you're not always going to be on the winning side but hey, regardless of the situation, you're still going to feel the raindrops, as long as you're under the rain.
The crypto industry is kind of like rainfall when you think about it. As long as you're standing outside, the rain will touch you. However, it will touch some more than others because of where they're standing.
A lot of times, people stand on the sidelines and talk about how they want to make money from crypto. The problem is that most people aren't ready to take the risk, get wet, and risk catching a cold under the crypto rain.
Anybody getting into crypto from the normie world experiences culture shock and rightly so because it's a whole new ball game. However, it can take over your life and be very rewarding, if you play your cards right.
So in essence, it means that crypto is different from everything you know but at the same time, very similar to everything you know. Literally speaking, is there any work of life that if you play your cards right, and combine that with some luck, you're not going to make it?
Crypto just gives you a different option and method to achieving your goal. The question is, are you willing to take a chance?
I interact with a lot of people who ask me about crypto and I like to be completely honest with them. They come in starry-eyed and then I hit them with the truth.
I tell people that it's not all fair weather but if you're willing to try and combine that with some luck, things could end up right. Unfortunately, not many people are willing to try.
The worst part is that I offer them an approach that's absolutely free through incentivized social media or blockchain gaming like Splinterlands, but again, it doesn't always work out.
It's either "it's too complicated", "I don't know how to write" or something along that line that comes up. Even when I try to simplify it, it still doesn't change much.
Coincidentally, there are also people I encounter that don't even need too many explanations before they get going. They hear the information and immediately grab it, and start exploring.
So, at the end of the day, well, you have to take it one day at a time. If you're just starting your journey in crypto, I want to tell you that it's going to be a fun ride.
Always follow simple rules like;
There's really not much to it, just be vigilant and make decisions based on your unique requirements. Never do something because "everyone" is doing it. There's no everyone, there's just you.
Finally, take it one day at a time. Every day we spend under the sun is a blessing and a victory in its own right, so make the most of it. Diversify, learn and be a better version of yourself. That's all there is to it.
