Hi Eric, never feel bad or guilty. I remember listening to you on the whaleshares show b4 we knew each other at all, talking about how you got your delegation and yes you were lucky, but you also were and still are exactly the person that blocktrades put their trust in. It is that giving back to the world attitude, without question, which shows the type of person you are. I'm trying to do the same with the various things I am involved with and I know you have done it a thousand times over with the many projects/competitions you have set up.

I also remember that I asked you a question on that whaleshares show - 'what is the most important thing to consider as a digital nomad?' You were really helpful in answering that minimalism was something that you should strive for, or at least get used to. What you said here made me smile:

I left my city to travel around the world and I left with 1k usd and no idea about how I was going to survive.

I started to make posts about my adventures in central america and how I struggled to stay afloat.

As my planned date of departure for travelling nomad style gets nearer and the markets keep taking a beating it is looking more and more likely that I will be sailing off in to the blue with a similar budget. Maybe sailing will be literal, like paddling a dingy across the Atlantic lol... but no matter what I will make it. Determination is key, which you touched on in your freewrite and luckily, the raj808 family trait is bloody-minded stubbornness. I shall also have to learn the art of minimalism of course ;-)

My advice to anyone who kept reading: Don´t be ashamed of struggling in life to achieve your dreams but, when you fulfill them, don´t you dare to feel guilty about your success.

The struggle is half the journey I think and without all the hard work, the reward wouldn't be anything special. One day soon I'll make that dream a reality and when I do, I'll take your advice matey and not feel any guilt.
