As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, my God.
My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.
When can I go and meet with God?

I remember learning to sing the song based on this scripture when I was really young. At that point in my life, I don’t think I truly understood what it meant to thirst for God.

As I’ve grown older—walking in faith, stumbling, crying out to the Lord—the picture has become much clearer.

This morning marked the start of a beautiful new week. I woke up bright, fresh, and ready to take on the world. As I read this passage, I searched within myself for that longing—to truly want to converse with God.

I received a call for a meeting, but I decided I really needed to quiet my heart first. I chose to do a 30-minute sit, setting the intention to silence my own voice so I could hear the Holy Spirit more clearly. I also set an expectation to seek joy during the sit.

My mind still wandered, but only for a few seconds at a time. I found joy in catching myself quickly—before I used to spiral into long chains of thought before the catch happens. That alone felt like progress.

It was a good sit.

One thought that came to me was whether I should bring back my nightly sit. If I’m going to spend that time watching random videos anyway, I could easily carve out 45 minutes to quiet myself and align my heart more closely with God.

After my sit, I met a friend—a startup founder working on a longevity project. His idea involves sending people for various tests, then using the data to suggest ways to extend lifespan. He’s currently looking to raise funds just to build the data-collection side of the technology. It’ll be interesting to see how the project evolves over the next few months.

Later, I met another friend who shared about government grants available to companies in Singapore. The government does give out money when it’s warranted. The real question now is how my friends—or I—can responsibly capitalize on these opportunities to grow businesses.

After both meetings, I came home with a lot on my mind. That familiar urge to escape crept in—showing itself as inactivity.

But I told myself this: Even if I feel like wasting a day, I must at least write.

Not just to say I accomplished something, but to prevent myself from making excuses and backsliding.

Writing activates my mind. Taking one step often leads to the next. Since I’m already here, the plan is simple: finish this entry and complete at least one thing I planned today. Test out Space.

I was up 30% on NOTHING and didn’t sell. It’s now back at my entry—again highlighting a recurring issue in my crypto journey: holding too long.

I’m also currently holding MINER and KERMIT. I entered KERMIT yesterday and it tanked, invalidating one setup. It still looked strong though, so I exited half and kept half. It’s recovering nicely now. I plan to exit both MINER and KERMIT before bed.

I need to keep reminding myself: we are in a bear market. The trenches aren’t ideal. I must stop chasing multiple Xs, take my 30%, and wait for the next setup.

Compounding 30% gains will get me where I want to be—round-tripping wins will not.

Less greed. Less fear. That’s my reflection these past few days.

I didn’t hit my 200-followers-per-day pace. Today would have marked 4,000 followers.

Still, I’m not disappointed with what I’ve built. There’s room to grow—and I’m actively thinking about how to increase the speed of growth.

I know I need more original content. That means testing more projects myself and sharing my findings. I’ll continue my usual posting, following, and replying—but originality is the next lever I need to pull.

As the day comes to a close, I’m thankful I managed to write this. After this, I’ll be testing out Space and will share an update tomorrow.

Even when I feel like giving up, my God brings me back—strengthens me—and gently places my hand back on the path He has already prepared.

Lord, my soul pants for You.
Guide me to trust You more deeply as I walk this path.
Thank You for always being there for me.

Take it easy.
