Brad Bird explains that each person's powers in ‘THE INCREDIBLES’ represents an average family unit.
“Fathers are expected to be strong, so I made him super strong.
Mothers are pulled in ten directions at once, so she stretches.
Teenagers are insecure & defensive so she can turn invisible & has force fields.
10-year old boys are energy balls that just go until they pass out.
Babies are unknowns, they could be the next leader of the free world or they could be a bag man, you don’t know.”

I keep coming back to this line from The Psychology of Money:
"The ability to do what you want, when you want, with who you want, for as long as you want, is priceless. It is the highest dividend money pays."
In trading, keeping the right distance matters.
Here is why the right distance gives you focus👇
Many traders do not keep the right distance from trading.
They watch charts all day, search for someone else’s strategy all day, and let unnecessary information drain their focus.
The ideal trader you are aiming to become is one who is focused on the process.
Being focused on the process means you have “eliminated everything except the process.”
Staring at the chart all day because you are anxious about the outcome means nothing.
Constantly searching for strategies that someone else recommends, when you already have a strategy and rules to follow, means nothing either.
When your process is clear and you are truly focused on it, you “take the necessary action only when it is time to take it.”
Use alerts and alarms to watch the chart efficiently, so that you act only at the moment your rules are met.
And spend the time when you do not need to watch the chart on the rest of your life.
When you keep staring at the chart when you do not need to, everything starts to look like a trading opportunity.
The risk rises that you take unnecessary trades, or that you break your rules and close a trade early just because it is slightly in profit and you “do not want to lose it.”
That is because the very act of looking at the chart when you do not need to is rooted in anxiety and greed.
Because those emotions and thoughts are what drive you, “everything looks like an opportunity” and “you close based on the money, not your rules.”
In other words, the moment you look at the chart when you do not need to, you are already exposed to risk.
If the trades and strategy you should be focusing on are clear, focus on them alone.
Take a pen and paper and write down the rules and process you must follow.
Then think about what happens when you focus only on them and eliminate everything else.
Most of what you are doing now will probably fall away, and your trading will become simple and refined.
Shut out the information that distracts you.
The reason you cannot keep the right distance from trading is that emotions like anxiety and greed are driving you, and that state itself means you are already exposed to risk.
If you are truly focused on the process, you will no longer keep staring at charts unnecessarily or get pulled around by other people’s strategies.
Follow your rules, act only when it is time to act, and spend the rest of your time on things other than trading.
That brings you mental stability and leads to better trading.
The “right distance” brings focus and calm to your trading, and it supports your growth over the long term.
Optimize the time you spend facing trading, and focus only on what you should focus on.
Then your trading will become more refined, and you will be freed from unnecessary stress and risk.
I'm liking this recent move by prop firms to get proactive about informing traders of their payout status ahead of the request. Kudos @GoatFunded and @atlasfunded. Hope to see more of this from firms in the cfd space.
Payout Day should not come with a Plot Twist, or a denial.
With Atlas Funded, you will receive an email, and a live deduction if you breach any rule which leads to profit being deducted, aswell as us including the specific rule broken.
Transparency is 🔑
It really is wild to me that the Jews themselves have documented evidence that quickly after Christ was Crucified, their own Priests' ability to intervene in the metaphysical world just basically collapsed.
Fascinating that you don't hear this discussed more often.
Every time innovation happened, there were those who swore it was the end of humanity as we knew it.
And they might have been right.
Thing is, you can choose if its an annihilation or a rejuvenation. Will you be the phoenix or the ashes?
so she was looking for someone who works very hard for their money and gives it to her whenever she demands, but without any form of accountability? fantastic.
So many scriptures come to mind.
Romans 1:21 for instance.
I think the preacher’s response is entirely appropriate, should call for concern and introspection from discerning ladies, and many of them laughing now will weep bitterly if they refuse to desist from their delusions.
