The Focus & Development Of Your Own Unique Crypto Journey
Comparison Is Distraction
It is often encouraging and even motivational to observe and monitor the success of others. However, it is important to keep this activity within the confines of encouragement and not comparison. For some, it is often too tempting to live vicariously through the accomplishments of others. In other words, what began as a form of encouragement is now the very thing that limits and even hinders personal growth.
One must continue to grow and expand one’s reach and personal accomplishments. This is especially true regarding one’s Crypto and investment journey. However, to truly experience growth, one needs to measure one’s accomplishments against oneself. As long as you are expanding and going above and beyond your previous accomplishments, you are growing. The key principle here is quite simply… more than before.
As a trader, this means a greater degree of profitability regarding percentage gains and/or monetary gains. The same applies to a content creator… either you are looking to increase your productivity level, your income level, or both. Consistent growth automatically unlocks and activates the principle of compounding. This is always a crucial aspect or dynamic of any meaningful growth. This is how successful individuals often begin their journey to greatness… they simply continue compounding and improving upon their previous results.
Be Weary Of Plateaus
You will often hear of how many individuals hit a plateau regarding their weight-loss goals. Losing your first few pounds of fat is easily achievable for most people. However, many will report hitting a plateau after an initial weight loss stage. To overcome this plateau, one will be required to apply additional effort, as well as to readjust the goalposts. Likewise, in your Crypto journey, there will come times that will require a more concentrated effort to break through and experience a higher level of success.
This is very much tied to the content of my previous article entitled “Getting Serious About Your Crypto Activities & Productivity-Based Goals”. Remaining in a state or position of comfort is very much an early indication of stagnation. In other words, you stopped progressing. Yes, you are still very much active. However, there is no longer growth. Eventually, inflation, market dynamics, and healthy competition begin eating away at your once-profitable approach. The long and short of it is as follows:
Without growth, you are slowly dying.
This may take some time to play out. However, if left unchecked, it can seriously eat away at your productivity and income over time.
Essentially, we need to keep improving… keep pushing the limits. This is the only way growth takes place, and without growth, we can never realize our goals. Those who push above and beyond can attest to their goals becoming more of a reality with every passing day. On the other hand, those who remain complacent continue to view their goals as almost unattainable. The difference in perspective and realization comes down to continuously shifting the goalposts and continuously improving upon one’s performance.
Final Thoughts
The timeline and maturation of an investment journey can be shortened by adjusting your approach. It’s incredible how pushing that little bit harder each time compounds over time. This is how enormous goals become achievable goals. Never settle for yesterday’s accomplishments, but choose to use them as an encouragement to reach for greater heights. This is a sure way to experience increase. Doing just enough will only serve to limit your success. All the best, keep hustling… and catch you next time!
