Fuck Contentment

A while ago a realization struck me, something, I don’t know what reminded me of a story one of my mentors shared with me. So this guy had a goal to make 1k a day, and when he reached that the contentment hit him, he was pleased with that amount and became more relaxed.

He also started smoking weed, partying a lot more and of course, working less. After that his business failed, he smoked all the money and was broke again and returned to his mom’s basement. Of course, that was a precious lesson both for him and me, and he raised from there and got back and made even more money after that.

So, I realized that I’m somewhere in the same position as he was, contentment hit me since I only wanted to make fifty bucks per day in the beginning and now I’m making even more, and for a short period, I took it easier. I didn’t waste all the money on yayo and hookers as he did but instead, I invested them, but the idea is that I took it easier with my Steem game.

Don’t get me wrong; I’m still working more than most people just that I am working less than I used to back in the days when I just began, had nothing but tremendous aspirations and time. My time is a lot lesser now because of my studies than it was in the summer, when I was free so of course that I can’t work ten hours per day when I don’t have ten spare hours just that I feel that I work less than I used to, in the same amount of time.

Keep on going

You see, not only in mine or my mentor’s case happened something like this but I’ve seen or heard stories of people that were pleased of what they have accomplished so far and stopped or took it easier and as I said it before in other posts, stagnancy is death.

You have to set goals that are huge enough so it will be a challenge to accomplish them so you will always have to pursue something, you will always be in movement looking for other opportunities to make your vision come true.

Another sad thing I saw are people that don’t even accomplish what they want but stop before that and are pleased with the outcome and take it easy from there on. You can’t do something like this; it’s constant improvement or nothing, you can’t just stop because you will die in a way or another. I wrote an in-depth post on this subject that I urge you to check out in case you want to know more.

To give you an example, I use to comment a lot more, in the beginning, now I’m mostly only replying to the comments I receive, and that’s all. Of course, I spend more time on Discord and working on my projects, but I won’t let that to be my excuse. I have no other excuse that I become contentment with my situation, which is excellent but there’s always room for growth.

Conclusion

Life is an endless raw of trial and error, you fail, but you keep on going despite any feeling of stopping. Even if your situation is great you cannot let it become your limitation, you have to transcend it too, or it will become your coffin. You have to keep on going.

When I realized what’s happening, despite the fact that I had a long day and I was tired as fuck, despite the fact that I wasn’t in the mood for writing, I fired up an inspiring track, and I pushed myself out of that shitty state and started writing until 2 am.

This is just the beginning, now that I have resources like support and people reading my blog, a channel to share my ideas, I’m soon going to work on more projects, even besides those that I already started and besides running the Romanian community that’s almost 100 users big on Discord right now. More great stuff is going to happen from here on.

Keep on going until you have reached your goals and even past that.
