#1 Intro

Like many, I consciously began to realize I feel comfort in progressing in some field or area. While this may come as obvious for some, I had not realized before the opposite is true as well; I feel increasingly 'unwell' or 'troubled' (for a lack of a better word) when I have the feeling I am not progressing in any field whatsoever. Whether it is in some hobby project, some video game I am playing, or even life in general, I found this to be true for them all.

After searching for this phenomena, I came across a multitude of sources with 'motivational content'. Books, Blogs, Motivational Posters / Imagery, YouTube videos (even whole channels dedicated to the subject), Podcasts. There was an abundance of material available.

I read a lot and came to the conclusion I had to filter or funnel the ideas and capture them in a place for myself to be able to return to at a later time.

This is it. This is the place where I jot down some thoughts I have about random subjects and even life in general, directed at no one in particular. Well, okay, maybe my younger self. So there you have it, personal weblog #542643641 is born. (The following image comes to mind..):

A big part of the ideas I will be writing about, will be about how having an 'investment mindset' (long-term thinking) combined with the notion of 'progress, not perfect' will get you (almost any)where you want.

Whether it has something to do with your financial position, relationship, (sense of) progress on some (school, work or hobby) project, I think these ideas are all applicable. A big part in reaching your goals is to keep your eyes on the goal while working from towards your next milestone.

Soon more.
