It's the horrors of falling short of my own standards and feeling like I didn't achieve anything that motivated me to start being serious about reviewing my steps to know the things I got right and the ones I can improve on. I'm in the habit of doing this as often as possible and the beginning of a new month is always a very good time to do so.
It's a new month, you know?
The first half of this year went by in a flash. It happened so fast and got me wondering if my goals for the year would be achieved before we see the end of this year. The first half of the year was filled with expenses and to be fair, each money spent was for a good cause. Nonetheless, it was still a costly first half of the year.
The last big expense I have to take care of to completely bid farewell to the first half of this year is my yearly rent which runs from this July to next year's July. The money to cover that is already carved out but a part of me is begging for some bullish crypto miracle to happen because my rent is set aside in crypto. Cashing out now would warrant losing a lot of money.
Well, that's a life lesson. It's one of the money lessons I'm learning from the previous half of the year. Subsequently, I would be very careful of keeping 100% of my rent in a volatile crypto. Instead, I would put some percent in stablecoins and count on the Naira vs USDT imbalance when cashing out the rent.
Will this new month and the second half of the year be different from previous months?
That's all anyone in my shoes would hope for although I'm not one to be naively optimistic about a paradisical experience in this month. The truth is that the world is becoming harder and the economy is obviously getting worse in my part of the world. Since crypto has also joined this depressing dance, we all would have to break our bones in half if we want to make something good out of what's left of the year.
In line with that observation, I'm already mapping out plans to explore in order to improve my earnings. I did a couple of research and even got to share thoughts with some people about this. There's no certainty about anything but we haven't really been thriving on certainties. So, it's going to be a giant leap of faith.
One other thing I would like to explore in this second half of the year is skill augmentation and improvement. The reason for this is self-evident, especially for anyone who really wants to have a lot of valuable skills. I've long paid attention to Video creation and I will be doing a lot of those in this second half of the year.
Well, that should be enough said for the moment. It has to be backed up by genuine hard work, or else everything said would be for nothing.
Have an amazing new month.

Living in a country that thrives om Plan C cause you can't see a guarantee on plan B and Plan A has left you with nothing else to say 😞
Bro... The whole thing is no joke at all. It's insane to see what's happening and it's interesting to see how we are surviving all of it.
It has been a dramatic first half of the year
We are really learning quite a lot that we are actually familiar with and that we have really learnt
