Every summer, I think to myself that this will be the best summer ever. Well, this time it will. Feeling so much more relaxed knowing money is taken care of. No pressure to grind 24/7 to make it. Can do it because I want to, not because I have to. Sure, there are always levels to this game, and you can always make more. It's super cool to be in such a competitive industry like this, talking to hungry degens in the group chats that has motivation like I've seen nowhere in my earlier 9-5 jobs. Being on your own forces you to think bigger. You understand that no one is coming to save you. If you want to make money, it's on you. No one can do the work for you. Grateful to everyone that have helped me in here throughout the years.

Some more thoughts about motivation: When you're in a normal job, all you want to do is to get home, relax, and meet friends. You dream about beach vacations, and all the stuff you can't do. Simply because you are trapped in a cubicle from 9-5 every weekday, typically 48 out of 52 weeks every single year. If you're being honest with yourself, this is not your dream job, because if it were, you wouldn't dream of binge-watching Netflix on your comfy sofa instead. The thing is, when you're on your own, you stop dreaming about these holidays, because you know that you can go whenever you want, and this automatically leads to that you have no need for it anymore. The beach holiday was simply a metaphor for an escape. But now you don't need to escape. You are free. Also, at least for me, I seldom feel the need to watch Netflix, because I would rather spend my time on something work-related, it could be screening for new trades, writing on the newsletter, reading stuff other people have written, or testing a new DeFi strategy. The passion is so intense, and this is what I want to do. Watching a TV show steals time from work, which I think is even more fun. When I try to explain this to friends, they always think I am a sick weirdo. Well, this is something I wish everyone to experience in their life. A real dedication to something. And it could be anything. So if you have a dream, just follow it. If you fail, you can, 99% of the time, go back to the life you had.

Enjoy this, sir, many dream of such things and keep grinding every day for it You made it 💪
