embrace your own magnificence

With trading being a challenge with various subject groups needed to be mastered and even more moving parts on a day to day procedural sequence one can get easily overwhelmed throughout the years of challenges with a seemingly never ending string of failures.

I recently mentioned in our weekly live call that measuring success through P&L statements is the worst way on how to measure ones progress.

I also pointed out that complex problems are best solved by junking down a complex issue in more manageable smaller parts.

In addition I shared that that it is important to pet oneself on the back=celebrate in-between for all progress made and hurdles overcome even if the bigger picture still seems challenging and it is super important as such to measure ones successes by setting goals of what is being worked on and what is achieved

=business plan with time scheduling.

What I want to address today is that in a long term row of consistent setbacks one easily could lose ones focus, motivation,even general mindset and emotional makeup since a passive conditioning process is possible that can even make a hardcore optimist into a person who sees the glass half empty.

As such it is necessary to see that a constant focus on problems is not actually the path to solve such issues.

For example,

If you are going to a doctor whose mindset is examination of your momentary state of being from a dominant view of "what is wrong" with you, answers emerge that point exactly those findings out and are not necessarily entirely helpful on how to actually heal you.

Yet if you seek medical help and the practitioner has a holistic view and most of all is looking on all the aspects of your health and is supporting those strength, the body might align itself quicker with a general positive attitude awakened within the patient and supporting a realignment of the body with a general state of well being.

What I am meaning to say is that as a trader with a few years down the line of hardships reaps in benefits in underlying his or her strengths and building upon those with supporting a "glass half full' attitude and hip pocketing problems to this general mindset in a "can do" or better said "can solve" attitude rather than tunnel vision reaching a point where the light at the end of the tunnel can't be seen anymore.

After all without light nothing grows.
