RE: Sipping from the chalice of victory

in Galenkp's Stuff • 8 months ago

The last time I celebrated a victory was several years ago when I got a new job and reached an income goal I had been striving for. I celebrated by purchasing a nice Movado watch ⌚️ (about 1K USD) on eBay.

Ironic ending. After, I felt guilty about the purchase and thought it was such a waste of money to spend 1K for a vanity watch. It started corroding after a few months and I discovered it was fake. Got my money back from eBay, returned the watch, and never considered buying an expensive watch again. 😂

        That sucks, and one of the reasons I don't like online shopping much. They are selling fake phones here,not sure about the details but they're shit. I mean, a phone that's $1000 less than in the shop and it's brand new? You'd think people would give pause but...nope, so blinded by their "need" they send the money and buy those phones anyway.

        It's disappointing your watch situation played out as it did, tarnished your reward, although you shouldn't let it dissuade you from celebrating victories, there's great benefit in it even to those who are highly motivated.

              Thanks Galen, I appreciate that. I'll take that to heart and look for an opportunity to celebrate victories more often. Reading this has made me think more about the importance of doing so.

                          You got it! It might not be immediately; I'll need to think about this and do it right.
