The journey is always more important than the goal - December 2nd

As I said, this month I will be a bit more active, and I will publish a post per day, for the whole month. If Possible. Let's go!

 Last summer I had a 'little accident' jumping rope, as I could hear something happenning to my knee. It is healing slowly, and I estimate it is still matter of months until I will be fully recovered. Few day ago I had some mild pain on my thight, and now, after few days, I can feel it getting worst everytime I need to walk. I still need to go to work one more day before my annual leave week, so I need to embrace the pain and go to one more 12 hours shift. Now, this is just a muscle problem, and while I am in pain, I hope it will recover faster than the knee cartilage.

Alternative future: they say the physical problems start first in your mind. I sneak in and open the 'magic book' - The mental causes of physical illnesses. I look for knee and thight. Ready for some fun?

quote: ''The knee is the link between the soul and the personality. A knee problem is related to stubborness, pride and lack of flexibility. Indicates that you are leaving your life mission path behind.''

Ok. I need to process this mumbo jumbo. What I need to accept is that I need to forgive, to understand and to be full of compassion. Is this the issue, are they on something? Ok, this being said, I need to check my thights.

quote: ''Fear to take important decisions in order to go forward.'' Oh, this was way to close to home. Yes, I have some important decisions to take, and yes, I am a bit afraid to take my leap of fate. So, what do I need to do in order to change my destiny?

Cue: Terminator quote...

The idea to work with is: I am in perfect balance, I advance through life full of trust and happiness, at any age. This it is raising some interesting questions. And I afraid of getting old, and more than that, am I afraid of dying? Right now, after I crossed the whole ocean of life during tremendous storms, and I can almost see the promised land.

Yes, you may have guest, I am talking in metaphors and parables, but the struggle is real. I am almost there, close to the end of my journey, almost reaching my final target, and I am realising that I have no plans after that. Is this the end, my only friend? Where I can find some even bigger challenge?

Actually, the thing is that as long as I perceive this as a lifelong challenge, I was thinking that I am happy to get close to my goal every day. I could learn, I could grow, I could improve myself. I do not know, I should be happy, as I reach peaks that I never imagined that I could achieve. Partially due to my perseverence, partially to 'luck'. Still, I am there, on the top of the biggest mountain and I am asking myself, that's all?

Every success book is teaching you how to get there, how to achieve perfection, but none is telling you what to do after that. Maybe I need to check some of my old books. Carlos Castaneda. Nissargadata Maharaj. Maybe I will remember how everything it was long time ago, and the end will become a new beginning. Maybe. Until then, I am taking back my human appearance. I become one with the crowd. But all that I can think is:

What if?

I was not so active in here, as most of my work at the moment is in the virtual space, related in a way of other to the cryptocurrency. I write and publish being paid in crypto, I have my main savings account in crypto and I am a co-founder or supporter of various crypto-projects. I am also maintaining few crypto-masternodes, being paid in crypto too for the work. I took this decision to go completely into this strange world, as there are quite few solid projects that are perfectly safe, offering an interest or reward in the range of 3-12% per year. I mean, I am looking at my bank offering me 0.10% as they are thinking they are making me a favour. Other than that, I am well paid for my work, even if I am a bit overwhelmed, being  currently involved in 36 projects, the equivalent of a 2 full time jobs timewise. But, I am pushing a bit, in order to be completely independent financially in few years. I am not far, and at the current level of monthly income, I will be there soon. I did not made any effort with the books, yet they still sell, now and again. No focus groups, as I am still doing my full time real job. Well, the world is changing, and it is certainly very interesting to live in it right now. At some moment I am thinking to get money to buy a property with cash, but the taxes will be up to 20% of the amount, if I am not mistaken, as soon as I am sending the money from crypto into the bank (this being categorized as a taxable event - capital gains). If you are exploring the idea of working for crypto, I will give you some hints, as you can read my fully detailed report for crypto in here
