My Life For You To Follow

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

I’m back.

New Alessio.

I took the Summer off to think.

Why?

I didn’t feel satisfied.

I ‘thought’ I was doing well.

People where telling me I did.

But there was something inside…

It didn’t feel right:

“Is this it?”

“Will this be what I do for the rest of my life?”

I’ve worked towards this point for 4 years.

“Writing is my passion.”

“I love ghostwriting.”

“I love helping people with their personal brand.”

I kept repeating those sentences.

I was living life on autopilot.

But deep down I knew this wasn’t what I wanted.

I was lying to myself.

So I put a halt to everything.

Full stop.

This can’t go on anymore.

I’m glad I did.

Because now I’m back.

More motivated than ever.

I had time to think.

Time to analyze my life.

What do I love to do?

What are my core beliefs?

What am I naturally better in than others?

That last one stuck with me the most.

I never was a good writer.

I always hated writing.

I dreaded it in school.

And sure…

I’ve said it myself.

You can learn writing.

You can master writing.

You can become a great writer.

And I even started loving it.

But that’s not what I’m naturally good at.

What I’ve always been great at is:

• Maths
• Logical thinking
• Pattern recognition

Nothing to do with:

• Writing
• Speaking
• Teaching

Sure those are great skills to master.

But they don’t align with my core skills.

But what skill does?

Trading

Before you get all skeptical.

Because I was too.

It’s a skill that can be learned.

A skill that can be profitable.

A skill I’ve spent this summer learning.

I haven’t mastered it yet.

I’m gonna be honest…

I’m not even profitable yet.

But I will be.

I can tell that for a fact.

How?

Because for 3 months it’s the only thought that’s been crossing my mind.

And that I haven’t had for a long time anymore.

I know you haven’t followed me for that.

I know you probably won’t be interested in my content anymore.

So no hard feelings.

If you wanna unfollow me I wish you all the best.

But if you wanna see how my journey goes…

Glad to have you a board.

And even more glad to be back

@supraanima Interested

@ky_markets training

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

@zaruww Same happens the other way around.

There will be a moment you’ll stop being sad about the losses. It’s just according to plan. Now you’re one trade closer to a win.

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

@alexeixbt Hesitation leads to negotiation.

And your brain will always negotiate your way out of it

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

Your brain negotiates when you hesitate

See a cute girl? Don't think. Say hi.

Don't wanna train? Don't think. Go.

See an A+ trade setup? Don't think. Take it.

Your instincts are smarter than your overthinking.

Move fast. Act before you think.

That's when things happen.

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

What do you want out of life?

The real version

Not the Instagram one

Most people chase 10 paths and get nowhere

Pick 1 main goal

That’s your foundation. Everything else builds on it.

Achieve that and the fulfilment of all your other desires will follow

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

You think one cheat meal won't hurt.

One skip day won't matter.

One break won't kill your progress.

You're wrong.

7 days of consistency is easier than 4 days broken up.

Let me explain.

I used to train every single day. It was hard the first week.

Then it became automatic.

My body expected it. My mind expected it. No willpower needed.

Now I’ve injured my shoulder. Can't do chest or shoulders. Can't play padel.

Now I only exercise 3 days a week.

You'd think less training = easier right?

Wrong.

3 days a week is infinitely harder than 7 days a week was.

Why? Because I broke the chain.

Now every time I don't train, my brain says "see? You can skip."

The habit is broken. The momentum is gone.

Every single session requires willpower again.

Restarting is harder than continuing.

That's the trap with "one cheat meal" or "one skip day."

You think you're taking a break.

You're actually breaking a chain.

And getting that chain back together?

Takes way longer than never breaking it in the first place.

7 days straight is easier than 3 broken up.

Don't break the chain

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

@DenizTheTrader Yep

[Trader Theory @tradertheory]

Trading changes your life through the work.

The journaling.

The back tests.

The long nights.

The losses.

The grind.

Every hour you put in is a brick.

Stack enough bricks and your whole life flips.

Start building.

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

Every day you gotta find a way to celebrate life.

You got a paycheck.

You got a roof over your head.

You got a mother who loved you.

Even just waking up in the morning is a win.

However small it may be it’s a win.

Celebrate it.

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

@TheH0n3stTrader Really gotta create again… Thanks for the reminder

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

@Sholly_Pee1 I’m there now but close to being out of it.

Passed the first phase of a challenge this week for a first time.

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

@LayahHeilpern Thanks. Logging off now

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

@Jacobtradesz The dopamine hits in the beginning are just so extreme from winning a trade.

Had to get used to it.

Now I have multiple accounts but only trading on one until I pass that one.

Passed the first phase for the first time now. So almost there.

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

@andrew_nfx Great struggle to have tho haha

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

School taught you the wrong game.

Memorize the words. Pass the test. Forget everything by summer.

Now you're an adult doing the same thing… bookmarking 47 articles, highlighting entire paragraphs, collecting information like it's Pokémon.

And still feeling behind.

Here's what nobody told you:

Information is not understanding.
Memorizing is not learning.
Consuming is not thinking.

You could read 100 books this year and stay exactly the same person.

Or read 5 slowly, painfully, repeatedly and actually rewire how you see the world.

Stop asking "what should I read next?"

Start asking "what haven't I understood yet?"

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

You don't need more discipline.

You need fewer options.

Think about it….

When where your most productive seasons?

Let me tell you:

When you had no other choice. Back against the wall. No plan B. No distractions because you couldn't afford them.

Then you got comfortable. More money. More options. More "opportunities."

And suddenly you need podcasts about discipline.

The monk isn't disciplined. He just lives in a place without Netflix.

The prisoner gets in shape because the yard has nothing but a pull-up bar.

You're not lazy.

You're surrounded by too many exits.

Burn a few.

Watch what happens.

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

@Mach_Tactics But but what if I fail in those 17 years and so they’re wasted????

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

The market doesn't reward the smartest trader.

It rewards the most boring one.

Same setup. Same rules. Same response. Every. Single. Time.

While everyone's chasing the next secret indicator…

the profitable trader is just repeating Tuesday.

[Alessio @ItsAlessi0]

Most people never become a playable character in the world.

They spend their whole life as an NPC…

Following scripted paths, giving the same responses, waiting to be interacted with.

The difference?

NPCs react. Playable characters initiate.

NPCs have dialogue trees. Playable characters write the story.

NPCs stay in their zone. Playable characters unlock new maps.

You don't need permission to pick up the controller.

The game was always yours.
