realised being in the middle is living life on auto-drive; you're either obsessed & locked in, or you're a zombie: chasing comfort, minimum work, addicted to invoice clearances & stuck in vicious loops. i was a zombie for a brief while. consulted, sold, arbitraged, serviced; made 40L back in '24.
helped me family from 18-24 in every way i could, all while i was going all-in anyway. responsibility has been real, but courage comes in believing in yourself eitherway.
the all-in or nothing mindset disappeared for a hot minute. a mindset i can't get work without.
got 'all-in' tatted. i've followed this philosophy with work, career, poker, projects. big time believer.
never played the salary game, never will. there's no all-in or asymmetry in that. i'd rather starve myself than get addicted to that 'credit' message on the 1st. 1 reply
