Ensure you’ve done these 3 things today in order to maximize your success this week in blockchain and life.
Set, or realign your goals.
Our minds are incredibly potent creators of reality. The things you focus on (either purposefully or accidentally) have a tendency to become reality. Put simply, decide for yourself proactively what they are comprised of, and how to approach setting your weekly, monthly, and yearly goals.
Our goals will, and should change at times. Ensure this is being done with the express permission of your guiding logic. What is pushing you within crypto? What do you want to accomplish? Have the goalposts moved? And if so, where are they now? Decide these goals, or realign them if you’ve changed your mission. Most importantly, HAVE a mission in crypto and in life.
It isn’t until we revisit our goals that we discover how far we’ve moved off-course.
Pay attention, or pay dearly.
Quite often life may follow patterns which may become predictable, but it is ever truer that when we are not paying attention, quite a few events (good or bad) tend to coalesce around our absent-mindedness. When we have set goals, as urged above, these events surprise us in positive ways.
Without a goal to focus on, and without your dues being paid in the currency of attention, you may find that you are constantly behind the wagon, and struggle to keep up with the fastballs landing all around you. What’s more, you may find this anxiety urges you towards negativity and FOMO/FOLO.
Set aside some time today to check the lay of the land, find out what is moving, and what is on the horizon. Storms rarely pop up without warning, and you could instead take the time to enjoy them, sheltered indoors and comfortable, rather than to be caught unawares in the wilderness, soaked to the bone and miserable.
It is a small price to pay, against the potential downside.
Resist the urge to invest emotionally.
Humans react quite quickly with emotional responses, there is sound reasoning for this. There are also reasons to trust reason itself. It takes patience, and self-discipline to act unemotionally with investments. Train yourself, build your discipline, act without emotion with your investments.
Choice is a highly underrated resource, yet each time we FOMO or FOLO, we are paying the high price of choice with the losses we will likely incur. Emotional responses take less brain power, and are more quickly processed by the ol’ noggin; it’s a shortcut. Force your mind to take the long way around, and consider. Reflect. Relax. Even in times of high-stress and within hasty markets, take the time to breathe.
The overlooked projects I am looking at this week: $XTZ, $DOT, $ATOM.
Do you see what your brain did just now? You may have felt the urge to send that transaction and load your bags, and perhaps you already did. While I may not be wrong about these projects, this emotional welling-up of fear is possibly your biggest barrier to success this week.
Conclusion:
The public continues awaiting their bread and circuses in the form of politics, pandemics, polarization, and pandering. We, however, remain focused on our objectives and train our eyes where it counts. Have a great week everyone, and be excellent to each other.
