There have been times on my journey that I regretted leaving my HIVE & Leofinance blog to pursue another course in the DeFi landscape.

My reason for leaving was a genuine desire to learn more and get more involved somehow. But....there was also a darker side to my thought process.

It's not always easy to see others' success, and try as you might, not feel you're reaching that same level of achievement. Also, my own frustrations often lead to dissonance in relationships with other people.

The point is that we all make good and bad decisions in life. Had I not left here, I wouldn't have come to be involved with UMA. That experience brought incredible learning and a sense of self satisfaction.

As time went on, troubles arose in the SuperUMAn DAO we had built. Those same feelings of inadequacy returned and that period also came to an end.

It's easy to second guess ourselves and not see the vast value in our own learning process. In our own journey.

It was a relationship I had built with Risk Labs employees (especially @TokenArchitect on Twitter) that enabled me to offer you that UMA.

So in coming back to write again on LeoFinance, I'm taking a different approach. This time it's not about how much I can earn, but making and developing genuine relationships. It's about who I can & how I can help here.

We all falter at times. Let's be easy on ourselves and keep moving forward. Thanks for the shout out @acesontop !
