Do you have insurmountable circumstances that you drag behind you like a victim?
- If work feels heavy, what if it went easily instead?
- Everyone is writing about drops, but aren’t there surges too? Gambling is dead again, but people are still driving traffic, aren’t they?
I realize that part of me also wants to play the victim—like, well, it didn’t work out, the sites didn’t grow, oh well, at least I tried…
In reality, I watch YouTube, Instagram, and occasionally catch news out of the corner of my eye—95% of which is negative.
What kind of motivation do I have after that? None at all. Maybe I actually just have too much free time?
I used to think I needed a «magic money button.» A leaked secret strategy. That’s when things would take off. I kept looking for it and feeling disappointed that nothing got leaked publicly again.
But I never considered: what if internally I feel overwhelmed by insurmountable circumstances and a victim mindset? It holds me back from moving forward, and even if you handed me that coveted button on a silver platter, I’d blow it and waste the chance for a high ROI.
Just dwelling on psychology isn’t an option either. I realized that solving tasks can actually be easy and that circumstances haven’t necessarily crushed me completely—and I got back to work.
P.S. The photo was taken right before a sandstorm hit, after which I got soaked to the skin.
