Hey @rok
This is a universal truth. I learned that lesson very early on. In fact, I would say my father first planted the seed with a saying that his father passed on to him:

"Turn a defeat into a victory"
So naturally, when I first started working on my personal projects, and I came upon defeat, I instinctively already knew I was standing on a pile of gold

Now, whenever I get an idea that I can visualize being incredible where it just to come to fruition, to reach maturity, I think of it as a guaranteed success.

That doesn't mean I will succeed, it just means I believe I will succeed. That's the only mentality, as I've come to learn, that I can work with

Doubt and uncertainty result from lack of vision, not temporary setbacks, obstacles, and barriers.

The key to success is a clear, focused vision, and the drive to keep the ball rolling until it finally crosses the goal line.

Working on projects that we believe in is the goldmine that we are sitting on

Because failure is the greatest teacher. We only learn by making mistakes, and learning how to do things better. We cannot learn by philosophizing in our armchair, we must go out into the world and test our ideas out.

Then Nature, the Cosmos and Intelligence are given the space to manifest any hyper-dimensional forms that the world is ready for.

The bigger the idea, the more ambitious the project, the more satisfying it is to encounter failure, to have our expectations of success shattered, only to be rebuilt with more solid foundations, and toughened resolves.

Great post my friend. I'm sure you must be cooking up some mean beats these days. One love xx

Miss you buddy! Hope everything is going well for you! (Aside from this year's crypto bear market of course!)
Probably a good thing that the Universe is cooling everybody's jets so we don't forget about the real world and our real lives... Yes, technology and the future are unstoppable, but we don't need to get on a rocket to the moon to get there ^^'

I'm just speculating, you might be so smart that you've actually moved into your dream condo by now!
Either way I always love your thoughts and our interactions brother <3

I've been going crazy with the beats lately too! Really exciting stuff :D
Think one day we might exchange production tips over discord or email? :3

I've been learning that delayed gratification combined with patience and knowing what is coming our way leads to a build-up of excitement that when everything comes into alignment we just get the most orgasmic high

Kinda sad to say, though the condo is moreless a dead dream at this point. Needed more like a 6x portfolio increase from January’s peak, though sitting on about a 70% “loss” instead. Ah well. Proved the Buddhist point of attachment and desire leading to suffering - wasted alot of time and energy fixated on that which surely coulda been more wisely invested. Nonetheless, live and learn... still working on the delayed gratification and patience pieces, I guess. :-)

Hey @rok
You will definitely get that which your heart desires! I think the Universe just didn't want to make it too easy for you. Otherwise you might not have decided to go back to music and focus on things that really matter to your Soul.

Literally I was in the exact same boat, and learned the exact same lesson... It's funny

There will be some unpredictable event that will make everything possible, and you will be at the top of your game when it happens!

Prepare yourself for all the happiness you deserve my friend! The wait and fear that the gold isn't 3 ft. deeper will make it that much more BLESSED when it you hit that vein!

Love you bro x
Will add you very soon :)

Perhaps. (Or at least that's a good thing to tell ourselves for the time being, lol.)

T'is a good thing in some ways that it didn't happen as planned - probably would have been too much too soon. And there might be other options in different areas that are actually a better fit. Either way, there are still probably some proper foundations to set and character development to undergo prior to arrival at that level. So yeah, there's a perfection to the timing beyond what we can always see at the moment...

Hmm, so inspiring. Sometimes we get into things for the wrong reason and we fail to understand the main purpose for which those things were made. Most people in life aren't where they would have love to be, just because they haven't really known them self's this is why self realization has been my watch word since this year started.

When we actually know our capabilities then, we should know where we fit into in humanity and know what works for us. Take myself for example I'm studying Medical Laboratory Sciences in University of Nigeria not because I ever had passion for it but because of the harsh economic conditions in Nigeria and I was told that if I studied a professional course. I would be successful in life, but I have seen doctors in Nigeria who still beg for food. Because it wasn't there original calling in life.

I'm not disputing the fact that you might not fall in love with what you're doing in time to come but when these things don't work out we tend to get frustrated. We would have done better when we really found our purpose in life. Looking at where you're in life no matter what you've achieved, there seem to be this satisfaction when you achieve what you really wanted to do in life. Many people end up with the wrong spouses because of some of their selfish desires, some others because of their greed and whatsoever. I would be Frank with you even me myself, I entered into steemit because of the funds but it's not working out and I was frustrated at first but you won't blame me cause it's really difficult for me here in Nigeria. But I got to find another purpose which was self discovery and I really appreciate @rok-sivante for his support in my life. He really might not understand the feeling but if you can see this it's from the heart. All these in essence is to find out what works for you and be good to others, because you might not know who is watching, sorry for the break in transmission I went short of data, finally got a Wi-Fi connection in my class today. Please mind my grammatical errors, I would also work on that too.

Thanks at @rok-sivante, I remain my humble self @tobex. Stay blessed 🙏 ✌️❤️

This message is very deep, it really have a lot in it. I read the story by Napoleon H and i must say it was really touching. I really felt for the man, what a waste of time and effort and just with little persistent, he could have gotten there. Am also so glad, he learnt a lesson and put the result he got from the lesson into test in another field.

This somehow sound like my steemit journey. I remember i was doing ponzi fully and a time came ponzi became frustrating here in Nigeria. If you place your money in any one, it will just zoom off and that will be the end lol. I call my self to order and i said i want to stop ponzi, not too long, my ponzi friend told me about steemit, I checked on it and i keep seeing people receiving cent.

One spirit came to me and i said if i be on Facebook for more than 8 years and no day has Mark Z rewarded me, then i should park my belonging and move here and see if in 8 years it will be same. That is how i came to steemit, starting bogging at the end, i met Host of others including you who have contributed/change my life Massively. Remember what i showed you that i possess, it is fully from steemit and no other place. You can see consistency is the key.

* challenges is bound to come/creep in, holding on is the key. To round it all, i remember i joined steemit when sbd and steem were just 1$, and i never got discouraged but things changed and it went up before this current down time.

* never look at the now, there is surely light at the end of the tunnel. Don't be like the story of the man above, just keep digging and surely you will get to your dream land which is the Gold.

am not settling for the less, the three feet to Gold must be attained @rok-sivante.

First of all thanks for sharing this book and the story that consists by this book. Truly it's really inspirational because most of the time after point of defeat we tend to lose the patience and we stop that particular work.

Life is full of opportunities if we want to see, otherwise we can find ourselves at losing side. In many cases people failed not because they are not capable, instead many of them willfully loosed hope and never tried once again.

I personally admired how you compared the true lesson of story with your music production life. Every day will not be same and every project will not hold the same enthusiasm. But, we are the driving forces and if we want then for sure we will continue no matter how many times we fail in life.

These type of inspirational stories can really influence us in an good way. The most important part is we have to implement this type of mindset in our life so that we can stood in our path no matter how many times the wave of failure hit us.

Thanks for sharing this post with us and wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

I actually listened to that book in audio book format but I found out that was an effective way for me to consume and remember written content. I caught myself spacing out too much.

I would say that crypto has always been the goldmine I have been sitting on but my expenses in my daily life are pretty high despite not living what a lot of people would consider a comfortable life. A lot of stuff for me has been bad timing and over the years it is easy to get burnt out looking at this stuff everyday.

Ah! Sometimes your mind is bogged down by so many questions that you seem to have no answers to.. and then you come across a good read and it looks that someone wrote it just for you .. to answer the questions of your wandering mind and pacify your soul..

@rok-sivante coming across the post is kind of motivation or inspiration. As Darby stopped mining i am in similar situation and can relate the story with current scenario. And coming to question....i am still in dark what kind of gold i am sitting in. With my profesional career already coming to an end so early in life...and falling steem prices...i am standing no where...just floating on hope for some good happening....though i have not given yet...the fight is still on....race against time!

I can relate.

Though, perhaps the unfinished works aren’t a bad thing - merely stepping stones on the path, better abandoned. Though ultimately, yeah, there probably does come a point where we just gotta start publishing...
