I’ve gone back to my old roots of fiat mining in retail. This is after decades of working for myself , building and running bricks and mortar wellness centres and running global retreats with my besties.
I won’t lie, I’m embarrassed every time someone I know walks into the shop where I’m working. It’s hard. I feel like I look like a failure to others.
And despite walking my own walk, making great financial choices as an early adopter and being my own cheerleader, this stings. Sure it’s an honest way to make fiat and pay the bills, but after years of tying my passion to my work as a therapist / educator, this work feels stale.
I keep thinking about my next moves & the vision is muddy, like when big winds come up and muddy the visibility while snorkelling in the sea. It makes it hard to see anything.
It’s times like these that the strategy I recommend to others and myself is:
Practice being ok with not needing to know the whole picture.
Just figure out one or two things that are the next things you have energy for.
For me, I’m starting a GO FUND ME for someone I admire doing great things in the world, who’s in need of a home.
Next, I’ve offered to volunteer my admin skills to a Bitcoin backed organisation, in Australia.
I’m also excited to connect with more community members & to soon be chatting with
@Paula and attend my local Bitcoin Meetup hosted by my dear mate, after missing them for the past 16 months while travelling with my homeschooling family.
One of the hardest things can be getting stuck in our minds yet action will move us forward. One small action at a time. Send that email, DM that person, do that research. It will all move you forward.
Grateful to be here in this little corner of nostr.
