Changed my username, though my trademark potato avatar stays for now. It's all the better since it is the new currency we're dealing in.
I've been feeling restless and calm at the same time. I am restless to make progress, to take major action to earn more, and then some more. But I am not anxious or stressed about it to happen all in one day. It feels like I am learning the ropes, changing my mindset from the ground up. How it see it at the moment, there are more than enough ways for one person to make all the money. There's money... everywhere? Isn't it? It's right there in front of me, around me. All I have to do is seize it. But see, that's the tricky part.
I've recognized a few mental limits. They're nothing new and we've heard of them over and over again, but it's progress nonetheless to see them so precisely. 1. Lack of self-belief. 2. Comfort Zone. 3. Shame. Obvious stuff, right?
For instance, starting a new endeavor costs money. Maybe it doesn't cost a fortune, but it costs something nonetheless. My problem is not that I don't have options to arrange the said money, the problem is that I lack the self-belief to do justice to that money. Then there's the unwillingness to expand beyond my comfort zone and put myself in self-scrutinizing eyes. Lastly, um, unwarranted shame to start from the very bottom, and starting so late. Irrational, yes, but is shame ever rational. I need E3 to do its thing.
I'll stick to my goal, or shall I say landmark. It's not clearly defined and I don't think I even need to. Once I reach that first landmark, it will be the sign that I have broken free a little from the self-imposed limits above.
