Psalm 43:3–5 (NIV)

3 Send me your light and your faithful care,
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy mountain,
to the place where you dwell.
4 Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God, my joy and my delight.
I will praise you with the lyre,
O God, my God.
5 Why, my soul, are you downcast?
Why so disturbed within me?
Put your hope in God,
for I will yet praise him,
my Savior and my God.

Today’s scripture reading brings comfort after yesterday’s roller coaster of emotions. God already sent His light to earth 2,000 years ago. That light left the Holy Spirit with us, to lead us into communion with God.

The disturbance in my soul yesterday is something I need to understand better — and not let affect me so deeply. I know it is going to keep coming. What I need to do is apply what I’ve learned in meditation: let it come, let it be, let it go. If I give it the attention it craves, consciously or subconsciously, I will end up back on that emotional roller coaster — one that could easily lead me back to where I’ve been for much of this year.

I am putting my hope in God. There’s nowhere else that warrants it. Throughout the entire year, He has been there, waiting for me to draw back to Him. That is where I am now. I yearn to draw even closer — to feel myself being led by Him.
The funny thing is, as I draw nearer to God, friends are slowly being drawn back to me too. I guess God really wanted me to go through this year so I could see just how much I needed to depend on Him, in preparation for what’s ahead.

The mood today felt right. I woke up and immediately set my timer to do my sit — a solid 36 minutes. It also showed me clearly that my attention still needs work.

When I reach the posture portion of my sit preparation, I always recite to myself:
“Relax. Observe. Look for joy. Let it come, let it be, let it go.”

Today, the word “observe” stood out strongly. The mind wanders because I stop observing. When I’m not observing, the blank spaces at the end of the out-breath get filled subconsciously with plans, actions, or random thoughts.

I realized I need to be much more attentive after counting the ten out-breaths — especially at the very end of the out-breath. That emptiness is where most of my mind-wandering happens. That’s where my observation needs to rest more firmly in the next few sits.

Another recurring thought was that I should use last night’s sit as a catalyst to restart my night practice. A half-hour sit before bed could help quiet my mind and improve my rest.

I also need to bring back my running. It’s probably been two weeks since my last run. The rain hasn’t helped — but neither has procrastination.

All that stops today. I will run, and I will meditate. I know how beneficial both are for me. I just need to make it happen.

Not much movement in the three coins I’m still holding — KERMIT, MINER, and NOTHING. I’ll continue monitoring them for exits today.

On the broader crypto side, I’ll be putting more time into exploring projects in the attentionFi space. A thought that keeps returning is that many of these projects feel pre-Binance, early-stage. So far, I’ve mostly been yapping about Space, Zama, and IXS Finance. That said, I don’t actually have much interest in Zama, and IXS Finance blocks Singapore IPs due to regulatory concerns.

Phase one for me was simply getting projects to talk about — just to start yapping and exploring the attentionFi space. I didn’t do much research then. Now that my X account is growing and I’m no longer as lost, I need to put in more hours to find projects I genuinely want to use and believe in. That way, if an airdrop does come and I qualify, it’ll hopefully be worth something.

Because of that, I’ll most likely drop Zama and IXS Finance and look for projects where I can actually do things. Projects I can dive deeper into and contribute to meaningfully. More research to come.

I’m putting this pic here because I like the number. I’m growing at about 100 followers a day now — a slight slowdown, but that’s okay. As I continue building the numbers, I need to start pushing better quality content.

This is only the beginning of my X journey. I’ll keep building and praying that when the bull returns, this account will be ready to ride whatever new waves come.

A slightly crazy thought that’s been running through my head: how do I convince a group of university students in Vietnam or Singapore to join me on this crypto Twitter journey? I’ve had this idea since the meme days but never had the confidence to push it forward.

In my head, I want to create a crypto villa somewhere in Ho Chi Minh City — rooms for livestreaming and shilling coins together, and a shared living space for networking and building. Writing this down here so that, in time, it might be manifested into reality.

I didn’t capitalize on the previous waves over the past few years, but I believe God put me on this journey for a reason. He made me wait until now to return to crypto for a reason. I still don’t know why — but I trust that everything will eventually fit into His perfect plan.

In Him we trust, all the days of our lives.

Let me check first.
