Sport has helped me to know myself, I think it is what has helped me the most in life, with sport I understood discipline, suffering, pain, patience, without sport I would not have overcome the hardest moments of my life.

My philosophy with sport is very simple, suffer.

When you can't do it anymore, think, I can do it, I have to endure, and endure, be a man.

No pain, no gain.

This teaching is like Miyagi's “wax on, wax off”, if you do it, unconsciously it will apply in all other areas of your life and believe me, life is hard, you will need to learn to suffer.

Quit the damn computer games and go out and play sports and sunbathe, be a Bitcoiner.

So then you double down because discipline, suffering, pain and patience sounds a lot like Bitcoin

And that is the teaching 🫡

I started to add cold plunges to the routine (in the sea), I don't know what it is, maybe the dopamine, maybe the thought that it's over, but the smile I get right after it it's absolutely priceless

Quitting the computer games is something I have recently started taking seriously after having played most days for 20 years. I've known for a long time that it was no longer giving me joy, except for when doing it with the wife or other friends.

It's been a process of many years realizing how it has shaped me into an extreme procrastinatinator, something which I'll have to deal with over time I reckon, but it feels like a switch has been flipped to where I can no longer play without feeling guilty if I haven't first accomplished my daily goals.

Falling down the Bitcoin rabbit hole last year really started me on the journey to where this was possible, and strangely enough it was listening to a book recommended by nostr:nprofile1qqstnem9g6aqv3tw6vqaneftcj06frns56lj9q470gdww228vysz8hqpzdmhxue69uhkzmr8duh82arcduhx7mn9qy2hwumn8ghj7etyv4hzumn0wd68ytnvv9hxgqgdwaehxw309ahx7uewd3hkcam28zl, Atomic Habits, that flipped said switch.
