It is an interesting thing to note that not everyone on the crypto space is bothered about prices. Some people actually don't care, and do not need a price spike to achieve their financial targets on the space. That's not to say they'll mind it, but so much work has been done that it doesn't matter.

Everyone wants to get better, or as I have seen it phrased by so many teachers, people want to be the 'best version of themselves' that they can be. Many of us tend to get help along the way with this either by seeking professional consultation or getting friendly advice from our peers or people we admire.

Yet for the most parts many of us still falter. I know I do. I definitely am not the best version of myself even though I probably know the things I need to do in order to put myself on track. There has been progress though, and perhaps it is only a matter of time before I ultimately make that shift. My question now is why people are so comfortable pushing the blame when they clearly aren't doing the necessary things to succeed.

So many of us did not grow up with silver spoons. Our parents weren't rich, and we faced severe environmental constraints that could easily have limited our progress. Could we have passed the blame? Yes. Yet there are those who have defied all odds to become success stories in their respective environments. So much for passing the blame.

There are times that I completely mess things up to the point where I ask myself why. For instance I have found it difficult sticking to a study plan for a course I know would be beneficial for me. It just has been difficult to remain consistent. I, and am sure most people already know a few steps they could be taking in the right direction, but we're simply too comfortable with not taking responsibility.

Nothing I have planned has gone exactly as planned since I became an adult. Instead I have sometimes got some rude shocks and surprises that took me unawares. This is particularly important when referencing finance, especially for those of us who have regular jobs and may be trapped in the web of comfort. Things can quickly change in an instant, and not taking the necessary steps to prevent shocks can be costly.

We don't even have to do anything extreme from my experience. There doesn't have to be hurried or drastic measures in place if we do the right things from the start. We don't have to be in panic mode, or be forced to run everywhere seeking help. We all know the small, consistent steps that can be made in order to become better.

For us on Hive it might be as little as 30mins - 1 hour daily of community interactions. Simply choosing to build daily gives us an edge when things finally pick up, at the cost of nothing. The time I spend on Hive was initially unaccounted for, and now am able to put it in something productive. How's that not a win-win?

Conclusion

A lot of my articles are like memoirs to myself of experiences and expectations. I also struggle with the accountability assignment, yet have seen it reward me severally when I choose to be accountable. There are definite ways to win in this life, and some are simply begging us to take them
