I see many podcasts these days about taking up a challenge and what not. I sometimes smile at this because that's usually the expression of those who have many basic needs satisfied. For some of us, the challenges could seem unrelenting. It doesn't seem like voluntary action but a series of bombardments that we have to scale through like an examination. Perhaps that is what life is - a continuous, neverending test of our resolve. Yet it seems like some others skip the trials altogether and have things running smoothly.
If I could I certainly would like my mind bothered less with financial and emotional issues. I have a good hold on the physical, mental and spiritual front, so I certainly am not taking up more load than is required. Yet sometimes there could be a mad rush in some critical areas that leave me looking for a break. Of course nothing lasts forever, and even the most intense trails do come to an end. The only thing I hope for is that things even out at some point, or better days take the day.
Other than consistent bad days I also am quite weary of extended ordinary days. A good example is the bears in crypto that seem to go on forever. The moment we rebound it doesn't take a genius to see the space filled with energy. Of course one could argue that the excitement is mostly from those on the outside - new entrants who come into the space. Yet every bull run serves as an important reminder about our crypto dreams and renews our hope in the space. It is like a much needed dopamine boost after a long withdrawal period.
For us in crypto, we're always assured of light at the end of the tunnel. Only question is how deep each tunnel phase lasts before we see light.
