There Will Be Setbacks

Okay cool so Wednesday the 9th of July 2025 yeah and I have to learn how to get accustomed to setbacks. One thing that I always seem to lull myself into when it comes to kind of like a false sense of security is the idea that once I reach a certain level that I'm no

0:00

longer going to be dealing with kind of like setbacks again this is an illusion that an illusion of

maybe an illusion of grandeur, but you know, to avoid mincing my

words in essence, it's like, this is kind of like a conception that most people tend to have when they think about success and they've never really obtained that, you know, that level of success. Most people tend to think that it's like a switch of a button and then as soon as you have enough money in the bank account or as soon as you have enough wealth or

as soon as you have enough dexterity when it comes to your skills, your reputation, your relationships, the assets that you've put together, that you're no longer going to experience setbacks. And the truth couldn't be further away from that. Of course I'm not at that level yet but you know the issue that I do have especially with kind of like when it comes to my finances is just the fact that yeah man like at the moment I'm not making money faster enough than I'm spending it and that is a very uncomfortable place you know for happiness to effectively sprout if that

makes sense if you know if that kind of like analogy effectively makes sense. But this is why it's important to effectively forego the idea of what happiness is or the idea of what happiness looks like. Happiness looks like something, but it's expensive to kind of like

make happiness look like that when what happiness actually is, is like it's something that's quite internal. It's a peace of mind, it's an acceptance, it's a willingness to effectively be content in whatever circumstance one finds themselves in. And so, it's just like, yeah man, in essence, it's just important to, for me to just basically remember that, you know,

setbacks will be setbacking, you know, there will be setbacks and when these setbacks come like you know I've got to put my chin up, have a great attitude and basically just focus on the solution, focus on the way out and ultimately again just focus on becoming the person that again knows how to be competent, you know, kind of like has competence of a degree so high that these setbacks can be faced with you know little to no effort or little to no resistance to having to face the challenge. Because that's the issue that I have most of the time. I

struggle to effectively have that willingness to just basically spearhead my way through my problems. But that's it from me today.
