I came across something the other day that captured my attention. The article was about how a Singaporean joined the World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms (WWOOF) and felt that she was emanating “main character energy”.
Apparently, “main character energy” originated in social media in 2000 and refers to the confidence exuded by someone who has taken control of his or her narrative.
This instantly made me reflect. Am I languishing or flourishing? Am I happy with the way things are progressing right now in my life? Although I’m being put through the treacherous rings of fire due to parenting, am I able to jump through the hoops and catch a breather from time to time? Am I pushing ahead with the things I can control instead of feeling paralysed?
I guess I’m quite happy with how I am posting regularly on SN (and consequently, other platforms), so my work isn’t entirely my identity. I am looking forward to paying part of my utilities bill with my April earnings from Million Sats Madness, but I guess I would evoke main character energy more radiantly if I were to live by the Bitcoin Standard. Imagine generating enough income to pay for all my bills and save for my kids’ college funds and my wife’s and my retirement! That is the dream, my lofty goal!
How about you? Are you giving off main character energy? How does Bitcoin factor into your narrative?
