COUNTING YOUR LOSSES AND MAKING PEACE.
The records of my finances this year has been and interesting one and from an objective platform, all I feel is gratitude, though more could have been done but that’s okay. The first quarter of the year is gone and the pressure is getting worse for a lot of people to meet their goals and everything and I’m over here rooting for everyone doing what they’re doing. It is a rat race, everyone is trying to save their heads, minimize loses and increase gains.
I have been trying to improve my mentality around loses, while I pride myself as someone who is okay with losing shit, because I understand not everything is meant to stay, I have realized I don’t fare too well with financial loses, no one does.
Money is our token for survival and basic tool for existence, it is literally up there with air. We need as much of it as we can get and it hurts to lose money we’ve been expectant of. We tend to have a collective habit of spending money before it arrives, appropriating and allocating them towards solving our different needs before the dough even hits our bank account, so any interception renders our plans futile, leaving us confused and devastated.
Loses just like other negative occurrences in our lives are unpleasant but they are okay, because there is a place for everything for the sake of balance. And, there is usually very little we can do to change things and we have to make peace with that. My mantra remains: everything is okay. It doesn’t feel good, sure but it passes. The impact stays but eventually it won’t matter anymore.
As an aspiring blockchain whore, I have to learn to be okay with loses. Because it is a common occurrence with the digital financial eco system and, it calls for balance too just like other environments. As huge as it may be, it has to always end with a shrug and determination to move on and go stack some more.
The year is nearly coming to an end, and there have some grave loses recorded, beyond what anyone could have anticipated, but look at everyone surviving, moving on and grinding and surging forward. That’s the beauty though, the rush, the unknown, the lack of certain expectations.
I have to admit, company is great for misery because while the bear market was kicking everyone’s behind, we had one thing and that’s community, each other. Sharing our miseries, tears and most importantly - encouragement. Leoverse is so great.
Loss is natural and inevitable so making peace with it helps. The most important wars are fought in our minds, once we can make right with our mentality on certain situations and subjects, the universe gets the memo.
Thank you for your time. I hope you find this helpful and not just with finances but with other aspects of our lives in dealing with loss.

What language...jeje Good morning Sugar!
Losses on Hive, well unless you invested money into the Hive ecosystem and Hive went down then there are no losses. I have not invested into Hive, so for me everything here is pure unadulterated profit!

The only thing I’m really salty about is Coinbase changing the cost basis. I already paid taxes on my “earnings” from Coinbase Earn, so now it shows as +$0.14 when it really should show as -$2.86, for example. These are 1099-misc taxes too, so the highest of high. Sigh.
