22d • USEFUL TASKS

Morning
Years ago, when I first got into trading, my goal was simple.
I didn’t want Lambos.
I didn’t want flash.
I didn’t want to “win” the internet.
I just wanted to replace my salary.
Be at home.
Spend time with my family.
Be present.
Have freedom.
That was it.
Fast forward five years and I’ve done way more than that.
And here’s the honest bit most people don’t talk about…
Sometimes I still catch myself not fully taking it in.
Not because I’m ungrateful.
But because part of me is scared.
Scared that if I slow down,
If I enjoy it too much,
If I stop pushing…
I’ll get complacent.
I’ll lose my edge.
I’ll mess it all up.
“It’s windy at the top,” right?
But I’ve realised something important.
Growth isn’t about never slowing down.
And success isn’t about constant pressure.
It’s about balance.
Because what’s the point building freedom
If you’re never actually free?
And this is where I see so many people stuck.
They think growth has to look like suffering.
They think rest means weakness.
They think if they’re not exhausted, they’re falling behind.
So they grind.
And grind.
And grind.
While quietly neglecting the things that actually matter.
Their health.
Their relationships.
Their peace.
Their presence.
Their time.
Time being the big one.
You don’t really notice it going.
Until you do.
Until years pass.
Until the goalposts move.
Until you realise you’ve been so focused on “what’s next”
That you’ve missed what’s now.
And the irony is…
That mindset doesn’t speed success up.
It usually delays it.
Because real growth isn’t a straight road.
It’s messy.
It loops.
It pauses.
It forces you to reassess.
And the people who last?
They’re the ones who learn how to build and live at the same time.
Not neglecting the little things.
Because the little things are the whole thing.
The mornings.
The conversations.
The workouts.
The habits.
The moments you don’t post online.
That’s where life actually happens.
So if you’re reading this feeling behind…
Or frustrated…
Or like you should be further along by now…
You’re probably not broken.
You’re just human.
Progress doesn’t disappear because you slow down.
It disappears when you stop caring.
And if you’re still here,
Still trying,
Still thinking about how to do this better…
You’re doing fine.
Just don’t sacrifice the point of the journey
Trying to race to the end of it.
Have a great week ahead.
