That's the kind of mindset that I slowly revive in life. Finding ways to fight for my happiness and valuing myself. It has been quite sometime that I reject offers, opportunities, and new things just because I was in the rut. I spent many months not being confident about my skills,values,and what I can offer to people. But only the last few weeks, it clicked. If I really want something, I will find a way to make it work. Whether I have to sacrifice a thing or two, that is the nature of making something that you really want to work and become reality. So at this point, I sacrifice a bit of time for Hive, a bit of time of my sleep, and my love to idle life.

There's also a concept that has been something I want to write about, the just do it mentality. I notice that the more I announce that I want to do X, I normally forget doing it and losing my motivation. For some people, putting their goal in public maybe considered as accountability. Yet from my finding, the more I tell people that I start something, the more I get unsolicited advice. That resulted in me losing motivations in doing things.

However, this doesn't apply when I write how I achieved X because instead giving unsolicited advice, they'd congratulate or say nice things.Now, I would rather announce something after its completion rather than prematurely announcing something, which would result in discouragement from all the unsolicited advice that I got.

So yeah, that's the essence of " Just do it" and tell the world later when you achieved/ nearby in completion of your goal. For the time being, just keep your head down and get the work done.
