Pick a challenge too big for who you are now.
That's how people change. A challenge above your level drags the new version of you out.
It will suck. You'll fail constantly. You'll feel like a fraud for months. Your old self will beg you to stay the same.
But if you can pull this off, 10-20 times throughout your life, you will blow past everyone else.
If you want to make the most progress you've ever made in your life, you need to be alone. You need an extended period of isolation, not influenced by friends or media, spent building your future. You need space to learn, think, experiment, and fail.
Give yourself 6 months. Focus solely on the development of your mind, body, spirit, and finances. This is how you get ahead of most people.
I'm actually quite disgusted at the 1-2 punch between the Politicans and Market Makers in the past 24h
> Spread credible CLARITY rumors
> Nonstop bid, zero red candles
> Full rug after breakout, zero pity pumps
> Leak that bill is being rejected
Fucking GROSS
You seriously underestimate how much you can do with time. 1 year is a fucking lifetime. 6 months is enough to go from 0 to 100. Even 1 week of full commitment 14 hours a day is enough to push the needle so far forward you won't even recognize yourself. Just do more. Just do what your heart desires. Just be better.
remember this: you can have an entire garden and still become miserable by staring at the one tree you cannot have. that’s how distraction works. it makes you obsess over the relationship you lost, the opportunity you missed, the money you don’t have, the life you haven’t reached yet. meanwhile, you stop noticing everything that is already yours. gratitude doesn’t mean you stop wanting more. it means you refuse to let what’s missing blind you to what’s already here. be ambitious, but don’t become so obsessed with the next blessing that you forget to appreciate the ones you’re already living in.
Life becomes 100x more enjoyable when you start playing it like a video game. You have free will. You can literally do anything you want. Go anywhere. Build anything. Become anyone. The only rules that are stopping you are the ones you inherited from people who also felt stuck. Drop them. Step into the game with wild self belief and borderline greedy ambition. Dream so big it feels irresponsible. The life you always wanted is not out of reach. You just finally have to decide to go collect it
Y’all are way too attached to money.
Too happy when you make it.
Too depressed when you lose it.
You treat money like some really rare event instead of something normal.
Loosen up my friends.
See money for what it truly is: just a tool in this illusion, not a trophy.
Don’t worship it. Don’t fear losing it. Don’t let it ever control your emotions.
If you made it once, you can make it again.
If you lose it, trust you can create tenfold more if you choose to.
Stop acting like abundance is somewhere in the future. Feel abundant NOW.
Choose it. Claim it.
Let go of the attachment.
Money comes and goes. You remain.
You attract what you are.
I love you so much.
what kills traders the most, from 5 years of being in this industry
- leverage
- drugs & alcohol
- fomo
- unwillingness to take a loss
- not taking profit
- overtrading till zero
- not taking profit
- coming back in and sizing up to "catch it"
- not taking profit
I think ambitious people should treat life in “seasons” rather than trying to balance everything every day.
A few years massively overallocated to work. A period getting seriously fit. A year or two nomading. Then family takes priority for a while. Then maybe at 35 you go completely insane again and spend four years building a new company, and so on.
The mistake is thinking every metric needs to stay green all the time. Most great outcomes (building a company, writing sth serious, training for an event) need uninterrupted runs, not daily moderation. Sometimes work should suffer cause you’re travelling, sometimes your social life should suffer cause you’re building, sometimes career progression should slow cause family matters more. That’s fine.
And tbh it probably makes life more fun too. You get actual chapters and completely different versions of yourself instead of spending 40 years maintaining the same perfectly optimised routine. A few intense years in one city, a weird nomad phase, an obsession that takes over your life, then something completely different. Probably much more memorable than one very long well-optimised Tuesday.
It's why I encourage everyone to think of balance in years, not days. A good life can look horribly unbalanced on some random Tuesday and still be very balanced over 10 years.
