Monday Prep
72 days to 2026!
Hey hey, it's Monday!
And it's actually getting serious.
We will definitely be traveling on Wednesday.
I'm at the place where I printed out all the documents needed.
I haven't uploaded them yet tho...
Still waiting for the portal to open, as it's not working.
It's past 2pm now....and I'm just waiting around.
Dad wants to make sure we have all the needed documents before we travel and that's what brought me outside.
Thank God I did the laundry before stepping out.
(Last laundry session at home 🥲)
Still not sure when I'll be going home today, and I have an X space to host today.
It will be later in the evening around 6pm or so. Let's see how it goes.
Any other update?
Ah yes....I'm back on good terms with God.
I was reconciled last night, after opening up to Him in prayer.
And then this morning, He told me why yesterday didn't go so well, and what I should do.
It's up to me now....to obey.
I definitely will.
Alright, let me share today's highlights and then more thoughts from Duon-mind 😁
365 Days With Self-discipline
📌 On Cutting Your Losses
"Cut your losses short and let your winners run."
Quote by a Wall Street saying
I once invested several thousand dollars in an extensive coaching course.
I thought that since I was already an author, it wouldn’t be that different to become a coach, too. I spent over a month learning from that course, and ultimately gave up with little to show for it.
After a month of studying, I didn’t feel I knew that much more about coaching to be able to coach — and it didn’t matter, because I knew that I wouldn’t do it, anyway.
My idea to become a coach was a mistake.
I realized that my strengths lie in writing books, and not in giving personalized advice.
Continuing my education would have been continuing to invest my time and energy into something that was destined to fail anyway. I cut my losses short and
refocused on writing.
Due to loss aversion, people have a tendency to avoid losses over acquiring equivalent gains,
This means that you’d rather keep investing your time and energy into a failed project than cut it short and redirect your attention to something that can produce better results.
It’s a dangerous trap for persistent people, because you might spend months (if not years) doing something that will ultimately lead you nowhere.
If you’re keeping at it only because of what you’ve already invested, ask yourself if it’s the best use of your time.
If it isn’t, and there are better things you can do, accept the losses as a learning experience and move on.
My take? Know when to give up.
That's just it.
Update‼️
I haven't published this post yet.
And it's almost 10 PM!
Thing is, I had to leave the place where I was staying earlier.
Printed out most of the documents anyway, and even all that's remaining is to upload the documents for online clearance.
And I would be done ✅
Oh yeah....let me not forget to tell you about today's X space.
No one showed up! 😅
I find it funny because it was just bad timing.
Last time, it was in the afternoon.
I decided to host by 6PM...and actually started some minutes after.
It actually felt stupid...
Me talking to myself with no one listening....and ending 30 minutes later.
I did it anyway.
As long as I can type and publish a blog post with no one eventually reading, I could do this too.
That's the essence of showing up
And I have an extra day to pack...because Dad changed his mind and said we would go on Thursday.
It's all good...
Well, I think I would end today's post here.
I'm not feeling too well, probably because of all my walking today.
I hope this headache goes with the night, because it's real bad 😣
I'll pray and I hope you do same....
God knows why it happened this way.
He knows what's best and I trust that He will work His wonders.
Enough talk now....
Thanks for reading 🎀
I won't share links today....you might not need them.
See you in the next post 💜
