"You suffer more in your mind than in reality."
— Seneca (paraphrased)
Think about it.Most of the pain that keeps you up at night isn’t happening right now.
It’s the replay of yesterday’s bad trade, the fear of tomorrow’s dump, the story you keep telling yourself about why you’re not enough,
why she left, why the world is against you.The market can drop 20% in a day — that’s real.
But the extra 80% suffering? That’s you adding layers: catastrophizing, shame spirals, resentment loops, endless "what if" simulations.Reality is usually just a moment.
Your mind turns it into an endless movie with you as the victim.The mind-blowing part:
You are both the director and the audience.
You can rewrite the script — or keep torturing yourself with the same reel.
Mastering yourself means cutting the extra suffering at the root:Notice the thought before it owns you.
Ask: "Is this happening right now, or is this just a story?"
Choose the next action instead of the next rumination.
Breathe. Move. Act. Repeat.
In crypto, this is the real edge:
The guy who can sit through a 40% drawdown without mentally imploding is the one who HODLs, accumulates, and wins the next cycle.
Same in life, relationships, leadership.
Ease the self-inflicted pain.
Stop paying rent to thoughts that don’t pay you back.
Save this if you’re ready to stop suffering twice.
What’s one mental story you’ve been torturing yourself with lately?
Drop it below (no names, no shame) — naming it weakens its power.
