Shower Thoughts

serious question: is anyone in crypto *not* having an existential crisis right now?

deep down the existential crisis probably exists 

but I’ve reached a level where I know it doesn’t matter. I just have to *do*. And the integrity of just doing removes that doubt from my mind  

idk maybe that sounds arrogant but that’s what I feel

"So obsessed with getting to the answer. Completing the project. Producing a result. Which are all valid things. BUT, not where the richness of the human experience lies.

Stop rushing to what you perceive as some valuable endpoint - learn to enjoy the expenditure of energy that may or may not be on the correct path."

I’m reminded of this tho it’s likely not exactly what you mean…

I think “crises” are a part of life, so I focus on trying to sturdy my “internal locus of control” or focusing on my inner sense of mission/purpose/drive/over external.

Then, just ~simply~ doing the next right thing. It’s not “just” doing it (that minimizes it). One foot in front of the other.

I wrote a bit about this recently:

I think the difference between you and me (not that there’s a moral right or wrong, just how we lead our lives) is that I have an internal locus of control too, but nothing matters to me 🤗 

My ego wants control, my heart tells me it doesn’t care. And so I’m just doing. And that’s just me!
