Sometimes shit happens and it makes you feel like an idiot, and a failure. And you realize just how much you wasted and how much you promised that wasn't even close to where/what you thought it was.

Sometimes you put enormous amounts of personal capital and work into something and the results end up being "fuck all" and all you can feel is embarrassed, stupid, and angry.

I guess what I'm getting at is that's its ok ,and at some point that's just how shit is going to unfold if you try to do something useful.

Doesn't mean you will end up with what you hoped for, and that's really just part of the process most of the time.

"get back on the horse..." feels trite, but it's really all there is. Give up, or keep going are the options on the table.

I'm not fucking giving up so...

True that 🙏

So true 🫡🐕⚡💯

Chin up broski!

I’ve done this. Before I “discovered” Bitcoin I spent $30k and a years worth of work trying to patent something that was rejected by the patent office then the product itself didn’t take off.

Fuck, it hurt. And if I had been stacking Bitcoin during that whole time (2018) I would have a billion Sats by now. But it didn’t go like that. I found Bitcoin a year later and it’s changed my life dramatically in just 5 years. Onward.

This is the way 🎯✊🏼 do it for the person you become while you’re striving… onwards 🫡

It's okay Guy.

That's life ✌

You’re neither an idiot or a failure I assure you. You’re on a great journey. Ups and downs and it all comes into focus in its own time. Keep on movin’ on 🔥🤙🫂

In fact, that failure stood you up with a little more footing for next time. 

true story 🤙🏼🙌🏼

Word! ✊🏾💪🏾

Shame is a killer.

Way more lethal than failure.

I know it, although I’m ashamed to admit it ;-)

If we know how every effort is going to turn out, life isn’t really an adventure.

Be like a postage stamp. Stick to it until you get there.

We all wave been there bro. Feel you. ❤️ Sometimes we have to allow us to rest, recover and process such a punch. You will feel when it's time to get back up and coming out of this a lot stronger... 🔥🔥🔥

Not giving up is what matters 🫡

What happened?!

A bunch of things Al in the same week actually, but I’ll probably share some of it on the show in the next couple of weeks depending on how things play out. It was just a particularly heavy day at the end of a series of them.

There's value to be had from any situation even if the situation itself was undesirable.

You can't find all the value in a situation if you are judging it & yourself though.

You have to have at least have a neutral (preferably positive) mindset to find most of the value in a situation. From there, you either get back on the horse or find yourself a new horse to ride.

There are no coincidences, why did the universe show me this?

Well if it’s any consolation for any recent feelings you’ve had like that, what you bring to the bitcoin and sovereign education space is incredibly valued.

Always look forward to a Bitcoin and... Episode.

Thank you, ser.

love it. lfg

Sorry, Maury. I’m not a gymnast

We all have to play a hand and they’re not all winners. Thats ok. Much ❤️ love

Relax and release always. Let all the emotions and energies flow trough you. Hold nothing back. Use heart burn to release any compressed energy which gets reactivated by the current (random) event. Orientate yourself upwards only.

If you haven't failed your not pushing yourself

Doesn't matter if you fail

It only matters if you quit

NEVER quit

I can't count the number of software projects I've sunk dozens, even hundreds of hours into, all for no-one to see the results.

Every hour working on something had a positive effect of my knowledge and self-confidence that I can actually bring my thoughts to life.

Definitely "get back on the horse" and don't lament sunk costs.

great advice.

back on the horse as quickly as possible.

Whatever happened, you are a million miles away from being a failure. You've accomplished amazing things Guy.

This is the only legitimate tax there is:

The stupid tax.

Yes. Onwards!

Been deep in that place before. Appreciate you voicing it.

You just have to get back up & go for it

We over-estimate how much we can get done

We under-estimate how hard it’s going to be

You only fail if you stop…

If you’re not out there fuckin it up, you’re not growing.

any creative process has that Shithole moment we need to go through.

it sucks, but there will always be a Next milestone to take us closer to the shit we wanna build.

you’re perseverant! you’ll deliver 💪
