Are you friends with your anger? I struggled with suppressing my anger for years. I still struggle with it. Buddhists believe all emotions are from One Energy, and that you need to befriend all of your emotions. From experience, I observed that suppressing anger and avoiding my emotions actually caused me to feel less happiness & love. Obsessing over shitcoins, spending the majority of my time on Clubhouse and listening to podcasts & audiobooks was a way to distract me from my emotions. It wasn’t until I started prioritizing my mind & body through making commitments to myself and keeping them that I eventually found my emotions again. The advice from the book is to acknowledge your anger, recognize it and observe it - only then can you do something about it. If you are feeling or experiencing anything in this list, you might want to acknowledge you have repressed anger and find one thing in your life you can change to befriend all of your emotions. Is it wake up earlier, meditate more, read more books on mindset / self, exercise more, spend more time with loved ones, have more fun? For me it’s all of the above + continuing to find new good habits.

Your reaction is your reflection. AKA your triggers are mirrors. AKA the world will show you where you’re not free. AKA your truth will show others where they’ve been living a lie. Pissed off about what someone said on Twitter? Getting enraged about someone’s reaction to <INSERT SUBJECT>? Feeling angry and frustrated about XYZ? These are all clues to help you identify what you need to fix about yourself. You can’t control what other people do, you can only control your reaction to what happens - and when you are triggered it’s a reflection of what’s going on inside of you, not what that person said or did. For me, usual the solution is to level up and stop playing small. Free time is a mindfuck. When you create too much free time and don’t fill it with something meaningful, it creates dullness - you are ceding territory. Notice what you get triggered about and ask yourself what you need to change about yourself in order to not be reacting to that anymore. Likely it’s wake up earlier, go to the gym, be more creative, learn a new skill, be more structured & mindful about time with the people you love, or read more to work on yourself. Bitcoin is inevitable, so your problems are only going to get bigger as Bitcoin grows. Your main job is to level up alongside Bitcoin, to become a better leader - because eventually a lot of people will look up to you and rely on you. Stack skills alongside sats.

You’re not crazy, you should feel angry - but make sure to forgive.
