You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take

I was going to write one of my usual researched crypto posts but I just wasn't feeling it this morning. I wanted to talk about something more important.

Don't miss the opportunity to take a shot

I know the statement sounds cliche or redundant. "You miss 100% of the shots you don't take" sounds like such an obvious statement, but it's a powerful one. I've been doing a lot of self-reflecting and stuff like that lately as my life has changed a lot in the past year. I had been stuck in a loop of working the same day job day in and day out... It was time for a change. It was time I took a shot at something that scared me.

As I've gotten older, I've learned that in order to get anywhere in life, you need to step out of your comfort zone. If you stay within your comfort zone, you'll probably do the same thing forever and that's just not something I want to do. I want to achieve financial freedom. I want to be able to travel. I want to be able to really live life. Above all else, I want to take care of my family and live a simple, minimalistic lifestyle.

I don't want to be Squidward.

The way I look at work has evolved a lot since I started doing crypto content. I've been in crypto since 2015 and you'd think at this point, I would have figured it all out and achieved what I want. Unfortunately, the universe has had different plans for me, and I just have to keep pushing. I want to create crypto content for the rest of my life.

When I quit my job, I had 2 goals. The first one was to open my own business, which I did. My second goal was to become a well-known crypto content creator. I've never been much of a writer and honestly used to dread it. But since I started creating content here on Hive, I feel like I've found myself. At first I was just lost and trying to figure out what worked for me. Then I figured it out. Now I just have to be consistent and persistent.

Don't miss the opportunity to take a shot

Yeah, I know I already said that above, and I did that for a reason. Every day in life, we are presented with hundreds of opportunities, no matter how small they may be. Whether it's doing something a different way than you're used to or the opportunity to do something you've never done before. The business I opened is in a field that I have zero experience in, and I'm learning along the way. It's not the way I wanted to do things, but I took a shot. Maybe I'll make it. Maybe not.

I believe in the law of averages. I believe that if you try your best at as many things as you can, that you will succeed at at least one of those things. I've been juggling so many things in my life recently that it feels hopeless. It feel like 10,000 pounds sitting on my shoulders and I'm just struggling to keep walking up the hill. But because I believe in being persistent in every single thing that you do.... I keep going no matter how hard it is.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that you need to wake up at 4am every day to succeed. I'm not going to tell you that you need to work 12+ hours a day for some giant corporation to survive. What I'm getting at is that the way I view "work" has changed a lot, and there's so much opportunity for individuals to make it on their own. The more shots you take, the more opportunities you have to make it, and I'm not talking about alcohol.

For a long time, I've wanted to launch my own NFT collection, and I feel like it's time to take that shot. I'm not getting any younger and the crypto world moves at 10,000 miles per hour. If I don't take the shot, I'll never know if I can make it doing that. I'm not looking to get rich. I'm just looking to do something bigger than what I'm doing now.

So if you're pondering about taking a shot at something.... Stop pondering and just do it. It's time we all take the shot.
