The circle of success
Imagine ending every single day feeling like it was worth something. Not because everything went perfectly, but because you had a foundation that held — no matter what the day threw at you.
This guide gives you that foundation. A simple, repeating structure that turns even your hardest days into something you can be proud of. You will stop going to bed feeling like a failure. You will start setting goals you actually hit. You will find a way to show up that does not burn you out or leave you feeling empty.
And at the end of it all you will know, genuinely know, that you are enough. No matter what.
That is what this is for. Not to make you more productive. Not to turn you into a different person. Just to give you a day that finally feels like yours.
About me
I collect Pokémon cards. Not because they are an investment, not because I am chasing the most expensive pulls, but because it genuinely makes me happy. There is something about sitting down with a fresh pack, going through every single card, and finding the ones that just make you smile. That is the whole point for me. That is where the Cuteness Binder came from. My own little corner of the hobby where value means nothing and joy means everything.
Outside the Pokémon hobby I am a poor student. I always work hard and love to work out. Some goals of mine is to finish a triathlon, make a working business, bench 140kg in the gym, and bring the Pokémon community to people that does not feel like they can affor the hobby. If you are still reading this, thank you for your support <3
Frequently asked questions
WHY DID I WRITE THE CIRCLE OF SUCCESS?
I am a creator and entrepreneur at heart. While also having a lot of hobbies. This means that I have done A LOT of things, but never really succeeded at anything. Success for me is not to earn a lot of money or be super famous from what you do, but it is about actually enjoying your life while doing what you want to do. The PDF was created to make a mental model that had a practical function and not only words that said "you can do it!". Through this mental model I have felt success in most of the things that I do, even though many would call me a failure or not good enough. For me, I am good enough and I am happy about my life. Since it works for me I wanted to let you get the opportunity to feel the same.
How is the PDF different from other self help guides out there?
Most self help content is written from the top looking down. From someone who has already figured it all out telling you what to do. This was written from the middle of it. From real days that felt like failure, real burnout, and real moments of figuring out what actually works. There are no theories here that have not been lived. And it is short enough that you will actually finish it, because I want you to walk away with something you can use tomorrow morning.
Is the circle of success only for people who are struggling?
Not at all. The Circle of Success was written for anyone who wants their day to feel more intentional, whether you are going through a hard time or already on the right track but feeling like something is missing. If you are someone who wants to show up better, feel more grateful, and stop burning out chasing things that do not matter, this is for you. You do not need to be at rock bottom to want something better.
What other hobbies except Pokémon do I have?
This list is really long. Gaming has been my safe space throughout my childhood. It is where my friends were, it was where I felt like I could be me, and a place where I could include others so they felt like they had somewhere to belong. The games I played the most were Minecraft and League of Legends. I also really enjoy working out. I have been doing strength training for almost seven years and this year I have been trying to do a lot more cardio. I also really enjoy learning about myself, self improvement, self love and emotional intelligence. There is so much more about me, but this is what I do for the most part today.
What is the point of ch3stb0y?
The point is simple. I want to change the pressure that many content creators have put on this hobby. From having the biggest collection, to finishing master sets, to having the most valued cards, or opening 120 packs just to find one single card. I want people to see that buying a $2 card at a card show can be more than enough. The only thing that has to change is the perspective people have when it comes to the hobby — and hobbies in general.
Get out there! Enjoy your hobbies, and enjoy your life <3
