In my twenties my fatal flaw was arrogance.
In my thirties my fatal flaw is reluctance.
This is likely an overreaction to correcting my arrogance that has now become its own issue.
Balance is the toughest thing to master, but I’m trying.

May the ₿alancing ₿ring ease ⚖️
And you’ll have a different challenge in your 40s, another in your 50s, your 60s, 70s. There is no final state.
Just wrote a word or two about a similar things, humbleness seems to be in the air today. #Godspeed
Don’t worry, by the time you reach your 50s you no longer give a fuck 🤙
I was about to write something similar. I had a big grill day with a group of friends years ago. They called me and the missus the babies. We were in early 40s and the ranged from mid 50s to early 80s. I asked them what the best life decade was and every single one of them said their 50s - “young and healthy enough to still do things with energy and limited aches and pains, old enough to know not to give a fuck!”
💯
Chances are that arrogance helped you more than you remember though.
I’d say my confidence has been very helpful, my arrogance has not.
Wise beyond your years, I’d say. Never get to apathetic.
Well said HODL, we are only getting better when able to look back on our flaws and adjust
Losing any semblance of patience with the willfully ignorant is a big challenge in your 40s.
TBF, I turned 40 a few weeks before the plandemic, so there was a deluge.
Look forward to 60
Do you think you’d have your same stack today without that arrogance then though?
I think arrogance actually cost me in bitcoin terms.
I first came into contact with bitcoin in early 2011 when it was $7 but was overly arrogant in thinking I knew how it functioned without actually researching.
My stack would probably be 10x larger today if I hadn’t been so fucking arrogant.
I would have lost this bet
But it does track with the usual path to Bitcoin
You have to refuse the call
Fail forward
It all gets easier after 40, trust me
It's weird when flaws are also attributes which were key elements to structuring your character and success.
Recognizing them and understanding when they should be used has been my struggle.
I used to be a dick, i still am, but now it's just more self-apparent. 😂
I swear we’re like the same person. At least your online persona is 🤣
The older you get the less you give a Shit about anything
I have a voice in my head.. it's called
"chose Milk"
very simple.
You are in the office, three colleagues offer you 3 different drinks.
1st offers you a beer
2nd offers you milk
3rd offers you water
Don't be boring and chose water.
Don't be reckless and chose beer at work.
Have balance and chose milk.
no you're still an arrogant piece of shit that gives zero fucks about Digit, has gaslit me, refuses to apologize and instead has me muted
