One Failure: Me with this newsletter

Some might have notice I’ve actually not been sending these newsletters out weekly. I have no excuse for this, I just haven’t been disciplined enough lately and I’m not proud but I have own it. I’ve started a new routine which I hope would help.

My week

Where did you expect yourself to be 5 years ago? Are you where you expected or hoped to be? On our recent trip to Switzerland, I had a bit of time to reflect on the past I wanted to understand what motivates and stresses me out.
I think a big part of it is because I had pretty high expectations for myself for where I will be today and the fact that not only I’m not a millionaire yet, I’m actually still regularly struggling with money. Life has a tendency to get pretty complicated, looking back I’m pretty happy with what’ve done, my expectations were just a bit too simple, causing me to question my own ability and self worth.
