You’ve already achieved things you said would make you happy

In gratitude mood lately. Just realised a lot of the problems I’m having now, worrying about, trying to solve for now, are the things my past self from just 2-3 years ago would yearn for:
- Trying to add more revenue sources on top of a stable cash runway, without the pressure of needing it to survive.
- Being too busy with freelance work to build my SaaS, trying to find time to work on my SaaS, compared to having no work.
- Having choices we can afford when choosing the right city to move to, versus not being even able to leave the country.
- Researching the right international school for my kid when all are so expensive.
- Thinking about where to travel to next for the school holidays, versus not being even able to travel.
- Being able to choose to take a cab instead of ploughing the public train.
- Having enough buffer to even learn something as expensive as driving (costs $2k+!)
My past self would be celebrating now knowing this.
You’ve already achieved things you said would make you happy.
Onwards.
In gratitude.
