This is a kind of triathlon, when you first swim 4 km in the open sea, then ride a bike 180 km, and immediately after that you run a marathon. Another 42 km. And all this must be done in one day, within 15 hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why did I do that? Whether this is true within the framework of logic alone. There was such a goal, I wanted it for a long time, it helps well later, when it seems impossible, you remember and it is understood that everything is possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What&#8217;s the point of this. The training path took 3 years. Training 6 days a week, an average of 2.5 hours and a peak of 5-6 hours. Sometimes there were 2 workouts a day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3 years is a fairly long period of life, especially during the transition from 20 to 30, conditionally. Someone gets sick, someone dies, someone is born.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So many events have happened in my 3 years of preparation that it will be enough for a lifetime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I could have quit many times, but I didn&#8217;t. During this period, our first child was born. We moved into our own large apartment, which we had dreamed of for many years. My dad died a couple of months before the start.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Two days before the start, the whole family got poisoned and called an ambulance at night. And many more different things.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Before_and_After\"><\/span>Before and After<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>You probably noticed how I divided the events into &#8220;before the start&#8221; and the countdown. And when, after almost 13 hours of competition, I heard at the finish line: You are an Iron Man!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My wife and I cried. It was the culmination of all those three years that we&#8217;ve been through. \ud83d\udcaa (https:\/\/i.postimg.cc\/X7jbr4j0\/sunday-coffee-07-04-2024.png)<\/p><script data-noptimize>fpm_start( \"true\" )<\/script>\n\n\n\n<p>Every time things went wrong, the goal to become IronMan support and motivate do not stop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But do you know when it&#8217;s really hard? Not before, not during, but after. Because &#8220;after&#8221; life goes on and on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But it can be extremely difficult to find a new motivation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same thing happens with any activity. Almost always.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First euphoria, then recession, and then, either the end or smooth progress. It depends on what drives the action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Motivation_in_investing\"><\/span>Motivation in investing<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It works the same way with investments. When you manage to find a foothold and the result is fast and visible, euphoria sets in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If all this is happening in a growing market, then it is generally intoxicating. But after that, the second stage will always come.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The stage when you need to twist until euphoria becomes a habit, and a new spring will come after the coming autumn. When something becomes a habit, everything is much easier.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udca1So, in order to spin without suffering, be ready to answer yourself \u2013 why. Answer in such a way that you smile after hearing what you have heard and redouble your efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"You_Might_Also_Like\"><\/span>You Might Also Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beatmarket.com\/blog\/mlp-investments\/\">MLP Investments: Understanding Dividend Stocks and How to Invest in Them<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beatmarket.com\/blog\/what-is-dividend-yield\/\">How to Calculate Dividend Yield<\/a>: A Step-by-Step Approach for Investors<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/beatmarket.com\/blog\/monthly-dividend-stocks\/\">High Yield Monthly Dividend Stocks: How Qualified and Ordinary Dividends Are<\/a> Taxed Differently<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><a href=\"https:\/\/beatmarket.com\/blog\/after-i-do-it-or-what-to-do-when-the-euphoria-has-passed\/\" class=\"wp-block-post-excerpt__excerpt\">Discover the transformative journey of an IronMan triathlete, exploring the parallels between sports endurance and smart investing.
