Today is September 1st.
A new month, the beginning of a new season, and exactly 5 years since I started this X account.
And it feels like the right time to begin a new chapter.
I originally started this account for an NFT project.
I had no experience at all. I followed the hype, tried to grow my project from zero and paid promoters a lot of money, but the project failed completely.
But that failure changed my life.
I saw how much money those promoters were making and decided to start hosting NFT giveaways myself.
That turned out to be a huge success.
I hosted giveaways every day and grew this account from 0 to 25K followers within the first six months.
The NFT hype eventually died down, but I had learned how to make money online for the first time in my life.
From that point on, I kept following the money while growing my account more organically. Today, it has almost 60K followers.
Looking back, these five years in Web3 gave me a lot of great memories.
For the first time in my life, I made good money working from my laptop. I built connections all over the world and learned a lot along the way.
Not every experience was positive.
My account was suspended multiple times for no clear reason. I also got scammed more times than I would like to admit, including one incident in which I lost over $100K.
Outside of Web3, I faced other setbacks too, including several injuries that kept me from playing football for very long periods of time. Football has always been my biggest passion.
These setbacks taught me not to give up and to keep a positive outlook on life.
They taught me to see the glass as half full rather than half empty, even when life did not go the way I wanted it to.
Most importantly, they taught me that health is ultimately far more important than money.
These years also taught me that money can give you freedom, but following money alone will never give you a true sense of meaning.
There was still one thing missing: fulfilment.
The feeling that what I was doing was genuinely helping someone.
So three months ago, I decided to make a change.
I started sharing the things I had learned outside of Web3 over the past six years.
Things about the mind, body, nervous system and becoming more connected to your authentic self.
Things I am genuinely interested in and passionate about. Things that feed my soul.
The lessons that helped me grow as a person, understand myself better and improve my life.
By sharing them, my goal was, and still is, to help other people too.
That is the chapter I am starting today.
A chapter that comes from within.
A chapter in which I want to help people get closer to their authentic selves and their purpose.
A chapter in which I want to encourage people to make space for what makes them feel alive, follow their excitement more often and use their natural talents.
Because I believe we are all here on this planet to be ourselves, and that it is possible to get paid for sharing our unique passions and talents with the world.
No matter where you are on this journey, I am always open to a conversation.
And if you are a founder who wants to find your voice and grow on X, I can help with that too.
Just send me a DM. No pressure, no obligation. Just a conversation.

10 habits that changed my life for the better:
1. Grounding
2. Getting morning sunlight
3. Journaling
4. Meditating
5. Working out
6. Walking in nature
7. Eating mostly whole foods
8. Practicing gratitude
9. Reading
10. Repeating affirmations before sleeping and right after waking
None of these changed my life overnight.
Repeating them consistently did.
Which one has made the biggest difference in your life?
You don't become whole when your reality finally changes. You remember that you already are.
Think, act and feel from that state, with nothing left to prove.
Then let reality catch up.
That's the whole game.
@Denx_Sol I think I usually do 8/10 of these everyday on weekdays.
Doesn't have to be perfect all the time, even if you do all of these a few times a week it will help already.
For example with working out it's important to have rest days too.

@never_yieldx@edgaralandough God or the Universe or whatever you wanna call it. Why not let people decide for themselves what they wanna call it?
Doesn't really matter.
