Looking back I wasted so much time being loyal to the wrong people.

Massive miscalculation.

Probably a self worth issue on my end.

I extended loyalty to those who didn’t deserve it and of course it blew back on me.

It was my fault, not theirs.

They never deserved it in the first place.

This is what stoicism is all about.

Looking back and realizing that you were actually the cause of all your suffering.

Not others.

I was loyal to a group of people and was offered something many years ago that i didn’t take due to misplaced loyalty. Life lessons. Would have made me a multi millionaire . These things happen to teach you. 🤙

sounds personal- or was it business relationship?

Your quality is yours, it belongs to you, it defines you and no matter how many people are disloyal staying loyal is staying true to yourself.

All my apparent miscalculations dictate todays decisions, BTC perfect example. I suspect I’ll make a few more miscalculations let’s go!!

We all create our own reality. The challenges you created are for your future evolution. It’s a wonderful system harmony and balance.

Exactly what I needed to hear at exactly the right time. Thank you.

I feel that way about my medical coworkers. I was loyal and 100% dependable, and did good work for *decades* but refuse an experimental vaccine and it’s like that history never happened.

Good thoughts brother. I'm glad you can see the forest for the trees and are out of the woods with all that bullshit. Stay strong.

The only person who you can count on to be loyal to you is yourself (and sometimes even then, you'll still let yourself down). That's not to say you shouldn't trust others--just keep in mind that everyone is fallible, and likely to at some point disappoint you. Part of life's lessons I suppose....

Wish I would have read this book many years ago to understand how to navigate relationships. It would have saved me from delaying career, marriage, financial success: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1303.The_48_Laws_of_Power https://image.nostr.build/b0cfd1a358c4dad9a9ee7ebfec6c916655d32b0...

Yes. When the Buddhists translate “life is suffering” the real word is called dukkha and suffering is actually a poor translation. It more means self frustration. You’re the source of your own self frustration and you can take that power back pretty much whenever you decide to.

the story you posted on trying to help friend made me understand way better where you're coming from in the recent years. sorry it went like that and thanks for sharing it nostr:nevent1qqsf60udtpsd9p6fhpy6fcez4dgtpp28yepj7vydvu32zld6f5xru4gpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsygq6lcx8fc7h0p8t4ya9u0...

I gave up trying to get friends into it. They all laughed behind my back. Thought I was an idiot who had been sucked into a scam. I’m doing very well and I think they still think the same. I don’t let it bother me. I tried to help them because I care about them and their families. Now they wil...

All part of a hero’s journey. Without these betrayals we wouldn’t be who we are today. Forgive but don’t forget

Master of your fate; captain of your soul.

Same here man. Was just talking to my wife about a "friend" that I put years of energy into and just never got it back. Sometimes you just take the L and move on.

Many things end up being a self worth issue.

We all do this. Evaluating the wrongs helps us determine the rights.

I’m at this place now. Where from here now?

mate sometimes you say stuff that makes me think we run parallel lives. This is my experience. You go out and make a bit of money or whatever, and then someone in your life is struggling. You're their friend, and they say they arent happy, they have an obstacle in their life stopping them from g...

That's 100% how hospital hierachy works and I feel it's mostly like that in big corporations in our fiat world: 1. In the beginning they make you feel completely worthless until you start believing it 2. At some point you'll get accepted if you stay long enough (out of "wrong loyality") and endu...
