I feel in the bitcoin culture there’s negativity around using your bitcoin to live the life you want Bitcoiners will say you should stack as hard as you possibly can, pick up a second job, limit all your spending, never sell any of your stack, etc, etc, etc To me that almost feels like a fiat mentality. Almost like greed. Not knowing when enough is enough for you. For when you can say ‘yes, this will do for me’ The whole point of saving and investing is to live the life you wish to live, and If you’re too focused on getting more more more without being intentional about the why and the goal, then to me, you haven’t broken out of the mental shackles of fiat yet Just a thought. I’m sure many may disagree #gm #nostr #asknostr #grownostr #bitcoin #fiat #bitcoinstandard

Moonshot goal achieved! Installed my stained glass panel into my clients door this morning. Feeling super blessed right now! In January I took time away from my corporate consulting job to get better at stained glass making in hopes to grow a local customer base First customer reached! Hoping this can snowball into more in the near term 🙌🏻 #gm #nostr #art #artstr #stainedglass #grownostr #shownostr #zap

Anyone use the Start9 server one? What has been your experience with it? #asknostr #gn #nostr

I soldered on 2 steel rebar’s vertically through my piece before I install it in my clients door tomorrow These steel bars help give the window more strength, stability and longevity as it will be exposed to elements #gm #nostr #stainedglass #artstr #art #grownostr #zap

Soldered! My favourite part Turning it from fragmented individual pieces into a single piece Cemented it last night, now we give it a few weeks to dry and a final polish before it gets installed into my clients door #gm #nostr #artstr #stainedglass #art #asknostr #shownostr #zap

Finished leading the panel that I’ll be installing in my clients front door this month Extremely happy with how this has turned out. My biggest piece yet, and easily the cleanest cuts and leading Grateful #gm #nostr #shownostr #artstr #art #stainedglass #asknostr #zap #proofofwork

Little project I am doing for my home - to get that little extra practice. I will be making 2 of these panels to insert into an old antique door I am restoring 🙌🏻🚪 #gm #nostr #art #artstr #craftsman #stainedglass #artist #passionproject #zap

Met with my first client today for my stained glass business! They’re looking for a large stained glass panel for the front door of their Victorian home This was a moonshot goal of mine this year - to do an installation for someone’s home - and it came a lot quicker than I thought! Spent the last few days mocking up and finalizing a design for the door and today we met in person to talk more on the project Extremely excited for what’s to come! Attached is a sneak peak at what I’m working with #gm #nostr #stainedglass #art #artstr #goal #passionproject #life #zap #bitcoin

Look at life as a video game - There’s the main story line and then there’s the side quests The side quests are to gain more enjoyment, and deepen the experience of your character in parallel to the main story line Be open minded to the side quests, it helps deepen that character arc of yours #gm #nostr #life #thought #note #sidequests #saturday #april #zap

Progressed well on day 2 with my current project Scraped off the old paint, sanded it down and fitted the window space where the panels will be installed! Moving from a digital work environment to physical is something I am extremely appreciative of in moments like these… life just feels a little more real #gm #nostr #project #stainedglass #door #restoration #art #artstr #craftstr #project #zap

My first ever art work that will be out on display Grateful to have stumbled upon this craft, with no sign of stopping anytime soon Life is good #gm #goodday #tuesday #april #nostr #art #artstr #stainedglass #zap

I’ll be hanging 3 pieces of stained glass work in a local art space today - in the window, so the sun will be doing its thing 😎 #stainedglass #gm #nostr #art #artstr #passionproject #april #spring #zap

Beautiful morning stroll in the creek, a place in my hometown where I’ve spent much of my time Has always brought me great silence and peace of mind #goodafternoon #nostr #nature #river #spring #april #zap #morning #walk

It’s a shame that so many people I speak with would love to leave their job and be doing their own thing, but have such burdening commitments that keep them stuck, like children or debt We live in a world where it’s extremely difficult to venture away from stability because there is such insecurity in the money #gm #nostr #thought #note #fiat #bitcoin #zap

Sometimes you have to go back to the roots of your kid-self and let the imagination and creativity flow I used to spend hours drawing and colouring hockey jerseys, not surprised I’ve gone a little full circle with falling into leaded windows Reflect to what you loved doing as a kid when you had alone time - the purest form of you without a lifetime of influences from the world You may discover interests and skills that are hidden deep behind your curtains #gm #nostr #wednesday #note #thought #creativity #drawing #stainedglass #art #asknostr

Would love to hear from you all! What are you currently dedicating your time and energy towards that’s exciting you?! #asknostr #gn #nostr #question

When your doing chores, work, anything you are not particularly thrilled to be doing - add a dance to it Dance around, make it playful, and I promise you’ll enjoy it a lot more #GM #nostr #note #thought #saturday #life #thoughtchain #zap
