How I Got Interested DeFi as a Guide: Building a Better Life.
Life's realities put things into perspective, and I decided to change. Keeping an open mind toward a different, better future, I turned to DeFi as a guide.
I wouldn't call myself an expert in Stoicism.
However, I have spent over 3000 hrs. reading and learning about Stoicism. And I have spent over 2 yrs practicing Stoicism in my own life.
Here's how I first got interested in DeFi:
2 years ago, I hit a turning point in my life. I was working tirelessly and neglecting my family. I took pride in my achievements, believing I was making a difference. But then, I fell ill and faced my mortality.
In the hospital, I felt deep sadness. I realized I had spent too little time with my daughters, missing moments to share my wisdom and love. I recalled the words of Stoic philosopher Epictetus: "We don’t control what happens, only our interpretations." This insight gave me hope. It was never too late to change.
I decided to model resilience for my girls, teaching them to face adversity and embrace new challenges. As I began writing about my journey, I discovered the power of feedback. Growth comes from being open-minded and willing to adjust our paths.
Today, I want my daughters to know: If you desire something in life, pursue it without hesitation.
So my goal over the next 2 years is:
Continue practicing mindfulness and having an open mind towards a new path in DeFi.
Life Lesson:
Today is a gift, and tomorrow is an opportunity. Don’t wait for time, because time will never wait for you!
