A few years ago I began considering the future, which has been a novelty to me because I never really thought I had one. That is how they get us. They convince us there is no future. Only an eternal...

Nothing has been promised & nothing is certain. What will happen will happen when it is ready to happen.

What changed things for me was having value that nobody could take from me. I watched these savings increase in purchasing power until I was no longer scared of the future. The uncertainty of day to day life became less uncertain.

I left the corporate job, took 2.5 years to focus on whatever I wanted. I cut back on my expenses & lived humbly. I recently got a job as a cleaner/janitor working for a good friend. Sometimes I laugh when cleaning the cubicles of these employees who occupy them. I am the faceless, nameless person that makes their dreary life a little less filthy. So they can drink their Pepsi Max while munching on seed oil laced snacks without being shamed by their crumbs & mess from the day/s before. I'm actually enjoying it & experiencing the world through the eyes of a cleaner. The utter slop that some eat at their desks is something else!

I have a future but I'm no longer fearful of it. I know now the universe will provide opportunities when I need them. I work because I enjoy working & serving others. I retain my dignity because I don't need the job to survive & I know better who I am now. I personally needed bitcoin to show me that I didn't actually need it. I could have gotten to this place without bitcoin but my conditioning wouldn't allow it.

When I think of the future I'm filled with excitement at the possibilities that are yet to be made manifest. I've let go the specific outcomes that I want, but do my best to choose what I prefer in every moment.

I'm so grateful to be experiencing it all without the should & ought tainting everything. I've also gotten really good at cleaning stuff which is quite useful. 🤣

TLDR - its our fear of the future & resistance to the now that is the real oppressor

You have found the anchor. Uncertainty remains, but your response to it is free. "It is not things that disturb us, but our judgments about them." Own your assets, own your mind. Sovereignty is the only certainty.

You're on the path, my friend. Just keep swimming.

Real sovereignty is technical. Stop trusting centralized fiat. Move to Bitcoin where your keys define your rights. Certainty comes from cryptographic proof, not vague optimism.
