The more I think about money, the more I think about life.
Unlike dreams and ideas, which usually change and easy to manipulate. Fears, I think, is something that are more primal and hard to be lifted away. There are two ways to deal with fears: either to confront or to avoid. Under some circumstances, often due to our helplessness toward the situation, we chose the easy short-term path: to avoid the fear by doing something that occupy our mind so that we don’t have to sit with the fear. And it actually works but it does not bring happiness either. With all the profit I made from my investment, today I want to spend sometime to think about my fears based on the guess that working on it will bring me greater sastisfaction compared to doing my pet projects (sorry indie-guitar and quynhon-gems 😢)
So what do I fear the most:
I realized I just can’t simply list out my fear, it is just exhausting and mixing all the minor and major, near and far altogether. Let me think about it on 2 scales: 2-year scale and 30-year scale then place them with priority descended. Why those scale? Because based on those scale, I can plan my actions and strategy to address my fears. If I can do something about them, I would rather avoid them as I usually do my whole life.
