You can get back at everyone whoever wronged you, wanted you to fail, or held you down by simply being happy.
There is nothing that makes an adversary feel more powerless than you just continuing to live your life as though they never affected it, because they never did.
Women want to cuck you, see you out of shape and simping for them
Your family wants you safe, with a good job, not some crazy superstar
Your friends don't want you to shine brighter than them
You have to want it more than everyone else.
You're alone in this war bro.
Bro, trading is fucking hard.
This shit will take the best of you.
It’s not all rainbows and sunshine like people online make it seem.
You’ll doubt yourself more than you ever thought possible.
You’ll question your strategy.
Yourself.
Whether you’re even meant to do this.
It’ll break you so many times you’ll genuinely think about quitting.
But somehow… you don’t.
Because at some point you caught a glimpse of what’s possible.
Maybe it was your first payout.
Your first funded account.
Your first week where everything finally clicked.
And once you’ve seen that…
It’s hard to let go of the dream.
I know that feeling all too well.
If you’re going through it right now, just know you’re not the only one.
It took me 7 years of trading to realize that your strategy doesn’t matter. The market is completely random. The only thing you can do is view it through a certain framework and get good enough at it to find high-probability setups. But ICT is no better than S&D, and swing trading is no better than scalping. It’s literally just whatever fits in your mind the best and that’s it.
Pause for a second..
Do you understand that all you have to do is make a conscious decision to stop being a fuckin amateur who is ran by their emotions and within a fuckin YEAR you could be a consistently profitable trader living your dream life?
Lock the fuck in
My favorite line from Atomic Habits has been living in my head rent-free:
“It doesn’t make sense to continue wanting something if you’re not willing to do what it takes to get it. If you don’t want to live the lifestyle, then release yourself from the desire. To crave the result but not the process is to guarantee disappointment.”
Obsess. For f*ck sakes. You only get one life. Don’t screw it up by being normal. Go all in. Act like a psycho. Let people call you insane. Please. I beg you. Obsession is the path.
