Taking a Bet on Myself

Failed All-or-Nothing Campaign, but that won't stop this mission
Taking a Bet on Myself

as most of you know I changed my funding goal for the CACSO Games Qualifiers I had previously posted here into an All-or-Nothing Campaign.

Sadly, that campaign did not get fully funded. That put me in a tough spot, because I really wanted to go, but for some reason I did not make the team, and I had no way of coming up with the funds to go myself.

This got me thinking, should I just let this pass and wait for other opportunities or will I find some way to make it happen…

I did the latter, I borrowed some money to cover the travel cost from someone that was willing to lend. I used last months salary to pay back 40% already, and will do that with next months salary as well, untill I cover the amount I borrowed. So I will have to rely on my parents to help me out during the month.

This is me taking a bet on myself, not in a way that gives me monetary gain, but one for self confidence.

If anything I would like this story to motivate you to do the same. Go for that one thing that you believe in, no matter the obstacles you have to face.

Get it done.

Let is flow.
