I'll be successful when ______ \ stacker news ~meta

Well, I was being a bit sarcastic regarding a sports sub because it was a bit of a running joke about me constantly talking about SN creating a sports sub but they did one better and created custom subs.

I consider myself pretty successful. I have a great wife and two awesome kids. We live where we want. I don't need to work full time. I can work if and when I want and on things I want to. I live close to my parents so I can help them with the things that get more difficult with age. I have designed my life in a way I am happy with. I consider that success.

That being said, there is always room for improvement. I could be more diligent working out and not eating junk like ice cream. I could work a bit more and earn more money so that we could move to a bigger home (which my wife wants) or renovate our place to make it more functional for us. I have always wanted to write something for my kids that entails a mental framework and life lessons that I hope to instill in them just in case something happens to me. I would like to start another business at some point. I would like to help SN reach its potential. I would like to help more people understand why they should save a bit of their wealth in bitcoin.

How about you?

I like that you have so many goals. And it could stem from you having the space to ramp it up or take it slow, as you see fit. You are not bounded by money n time.

It’s a thought-provoking question! I think eventually I will like to carve my identity as a paid writer/content creator. Something that uniquely belongs to me - apart from my identities as a parent n as a teacher.

As the Koreans will say, “Fighting!”

It’s great that you have SN as a kind of testing ground to showcase and hone your writing skills.

when I'll be in my calling meaning giving glory to God for how he created me

using my talent God deposited inside of me, deep down inside of me (that I waste my life looking elsewhere)
making my light shine to others and be as salt of the earth
BEING before DOING, realizing all the infinite true love God gave me
living life as God intended it to be, meaning a life of faith as a child of God

=> 1st chapter of the book of Ephesians

That's actually interesting 🤔

I used to had a very standard idea of successfulness. Money, the perfect house, be able to travel at least one or two times a year and so on...

When my son was diagnosed with ASD (Autistic Spectrum Disorder), everything changed. Now I'm just happy just to have him around...

It's not easy, the single act to take a walk means that we need follow the exact same route almost everytime.

If I'm able to convince him to do something different, it's already a victory.

I certainly not sure what is to be successful anymore, on the other hand, there are small victories everyday.
