Daily Stoic Challenge
The highest form of gratitude is probably being thankful for painful and/or hard things. My challenge yesterday was to write down three things I am grateful for, or rather should be thankful for, although they were really challenging.
So I sat down and found indeed three. One was the long crypto bear market in 2022/2023. Gosh that felt long! And every time you stacked some more, the prices fell shortly afterwards and the wallet was worth less, although you had bought more coins. Sometimes I was really tempted to resign and stop it all. It was a hard two years.
But today I am grateful since it trained my patience and sharpened my conviction. I read a lot of books during that time about Bitcoin and Blockchain, learned and built knowledge. I have my bags ready now and bought at good prices. So the bear market taught me quite some things and I am truly thankful for that although it was though.
What are you thankful for though it was challenging?
