Thank you to everyone who engaged with me via my yesterday's post. I truly appreciate all the upvotes and Thank you for taking your time to read my imperfect writing. Today is Day 3 of my very own 365 days challenge of writing consistently on Hive blockchain. I haven't set any personal goals yet. Right now my only focus is to keep writing every single day and build momentum and see how it evolves over time. As I'm teaching myself to view my life as a series of experiments, why should I fear failure? After all, when one experiment is done, it's done. The point of an experiment is to learn something- to test a hypothesis.

When I got started with playing the crypto game back in 2017, I told myself that I'm prepared to lose everything and willing to learn this game of investing to improve my Money IQ. I was genuinely curious about learning all the things that related to crypto investing. I had this beginner's mindset and felt like a little boy learning to walk and I learned to improve my knowledge and understanding of crypto investing. The first few months were fun, I was living in Honolulu, Hawai, and enjoying the tropical weather daily surfing. I would spend more than 10 hours per day self-educating myself about crypto and carried out many little experiments to figure out a way to accumulate more money. Watching Youtube all day and reading Reddit all night was fun and I learned things faster and I got lucky with the timing of the Bull market too.

Formal education will make you a living. Self-education will make you a fortune.

As my crypto investment grew, I became more and more generous with money. I would take out one homeless person every day for a meal and I would happily give tips to people who work in hospitality and enjoyed giving to others. Giving is my true nature and I was cultivating an abundance mindset.

I appreciated money and felt grateful about money going out and coming in. I knew that was a healthy and positive mindset about money.

Fast forward a few months, I became more and more greedy, started to take actions based on fear and my scarcity mindset was begin to develop. I made few bad decisions. Luckily I soon recognized it and told myself that I have more than enough money to live happily and sustain my lifestyle foreseeable future.

Everyone is a genius in a bull market.

I wasn't born into a financially rich family nor I had someone who could teach me how to develop a healthy mindset with money and wealth when I was younger. I came to UK when I was 18 years old with pretty much nothing and being an immigrant meant I had to work hard to earn a decent living. I like to thank all these unfair advantages that made me who I'm today. I have no regrets about my past nor do I have no fear about the future. This is how I feel writing this post.

Sorry, I go off topic easily. Because I already mentioned at the beginning of the post to apologize for my imperfect writing, I can feel at ease and continue writing in my own style.

Crypto EQ is the emotional intelligence required to deal with my reactions towards my own crypto game. Even though I will continue developing my knowledge and understanding of Crypto and if my Crypto EQ is low, I could very well end up losing everything once again. So must improve my crypto EQ so that I can continue playing this Crypto game for decades to come.

I'm so grateful for all the wisdom that I gathered through experiences that will make me a Happy Little Crypto Millionaire in few years.

I did not show enough appreciation for the money that flow into my life through crypto. I will continue to write a gratitude journal and I'm happy I could do it for 29 days in a row. Going forward I will be grateful and let the money flow into my life.

I couldn't control my greed. When I go into the cycle of wanting more, it takes away my ability to recognize what is truly most important in my life and I tend to act and make decisions based on fear instead of love. And as a rule, I want to remind myself that decisions made out of fear tend to be bad ones, based on the myth of scarcity rather than abundance.

Fears and doubts will come into my mind and I will be prepared to deal with unexpected challenges while I'm playing the crypto game moving forward. In the past I went through it on my own and going forward I have a loving family and the love and support of our Hive community.

Always believe passionate and enthusiastic people attract money.

Ps. I'm still long away from actively involved with Hive. Slowly and slowly I'm finding my way back into Hive. I do not want to put too much on my plate right now. Happy to continue curating LeoFinance content, while engaging with some of our fellow content creators on Hive and focusing on sustaining my own content creation. Hopefully, I will be in a position to give an update on 1st November about how our community members can connect with me on a deeper level.
