It has been almost two months since my last Walk and Talk Series video, and as much as I would like to do them more often, I just can't make it... I know that some of you appreciate them, and that's why it's bothering me even more... 馃檪 Anyway, here I am, with the first video from this series that I'm recording near the place where I live! I was searching for a good spot to do it, and I hope I found one of them as slowly, I'm discovering more peaceful places around me... They are not as beautiful as the previous place with the sea, woods, oranges, and mountains, but I can say that I enjoy these walks, again!

We had a nice Wednesday mission on Liotes, where we asked people How do they stay motivated? We got a lot of great comments and feedback, and I enjoyed reading them... Many people are struggling with motivation, especially on "bad days", and I'm no exception! Being demotivated usually causes (or is caused by) some other issues, additional stress, and anxiousness, which lead to discussions, arguments, and fights... Also, we tend to overthink which adds fuel to the fire instead of bringing a solution...
In the video, I run through my personal struggles with motivation, lack of support, and understanding from the closest ones... All that creates doubts and uncertainty, and then, things can get ugly... I did many different jobs in my life, and I wasn't lucky with the support from my family and friends... Most of the time, I was doing the opposite thing of what my parent or friends would "see me doing." Because of that, they would say that I'm crazy if I do "that" or that I will fail... It sounds opposite to what we see in the movies when everyone supports friends and family... 馃槂

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!" You would like to scream like the guy from The Big Short movie... You were too early...
The thing is that... Most of the time, the majority isn't right... And to be honest, when I realize I'm doing the same as everyone else, I doubt my decisions... It's weird when everyone approves of what you are doing... 馃槂 Luckily, with crypto, everyone thought that I was crazy, and only a few people understood the whole point... So, I was "feeding" myself from others' denials... 馃槂
Long story short... I came to the point of life when I began asking some "big questions"... Did I waste my time? Was this all worth it? It wasn't the first time I asked those questions, and you probably did the same, too... It's a good moment to ZOOM OUT things to be able to respond to them... When we are struggling on the battlefield, under pressure and stress, it's hard to see the "light", but when we zoom out, it gets better...
It's the moment to see what we accomplished! I did pass the exam! I did get the girl that I wanted! I raised beautiful children! I got the house! I got that job!
You should tap yourself on the shoulder as you deserve it! You made a change in your life, and you made a change in someone else's lives, too!
Thank you for your time.
