Have you ever gotten motivated or accomplished something huge after a loss? Yes I have, and I think some of us have also experienced that, right? One day you have something and you are scared of losing that thing, the next day you find yourself losing what you were scared of losing. Now you feel like you can do anything because nothing matters again, you just watched your biggest fear become real, now you have nothing to lose, you start doing things that naturally scares you. For instance, you could have a huge loss today and that will release some fearless hormones into your bloodstream you start trading extreme risky meme coins and might just get lucky and make a huge amount of money.

Well for me, a huge loss just reminds me how fragile the crypto market is and how fragile digital money is, and a reminder that I need to start spending money on myself. Most times I get overwhelmed with the chase and hustle that I keep my own needs and wants aside. I have been longing to buy myself a wristwatch, I think I am in my wristwatch era and also car era. Been checking out some cars online and I think I want one before my next birthday which is in January. Few months ago I could afford to buy myself a car and the wristwatch, fast forward to today after some few losses, I can’t afford both.
Few days ago I decided to withdraw some money and take care of my needs, I took myself to the spa and did some facials, took myself to the swimming pool to remind myself that it’s okay to spend my money and don’t always chase the bag, it’s sad that it took me a huge loss to realize this and do this.
