If you went to be the best at what you do
Be excessive, be obsessed
Average person does 20 Pushups
You do 100
Average person works 8 hrs a day
You do 12 and work Sunday.
You are surrounded by people who live in a controlled comfort zone
It is so easy to beat the average person because they refuse to be anything but ordinary
Many people don’t take the first step towards their goals because they assume they have to do their first step forever. But it completely misses the idea of additive improvements.

@BowTiedCrow@BowTiedOx Coward deleted his post. Disrespecting a book that honors Jesus and Virgin Mary is ignorant. He’s getting more people to convert to Islam
@theG616 @JohnLoc18 Regardless of fundamentals or news we are getting a big dip in oil soon, because if this is long term bull trend now, not just based on short term events- big players want to load up cheaper. Price moves in waves. You are thinking like a geopolitical analyst not a trader
@theG616 @JohnLoc18 time to buy is when trade doesnt look obvious. best time to buy oil was weeks ago when nobody wanted it. its gonna drop sharply within weeks. any headline suggesting peace deal will at least get it to drop enough for nice profit on short, even if its gonna continue higher later
@dozocrypto@AdamMancini4 He uses wider stops. Have to consider high VIX/ more volatility. 39+ was safe long and nice run level to level since. Stop would be under 6715
Deeply convinced that the best way to get anything right is to start with the intimate conviction that you’re gifted at it. You either prove yourself right and discover a new talent or get so frustrated about failing at it that you give it your all until you master it.
the only consistently proven path to success is being completely delusional about your own abilities and refusing to let reality update your priors until the universe eventually gives up and lets you win. every founder who made it was told they were crazy. every artist who broke through was "unrealistic." every person who built something from nothing had friends and family genuinely concerned about their mental state. the "rational" people who "knew their limits" and "had realistic expectations" are all working for the delusional ones now. you literally cannot achieve anything extraordinary while maintaining an accurate assessment of your odds. the math never works. the market is always saturated. someone more qualified is always already doing it. if you actually internalized the statistics you would never start anything. success selection bias means we only hear from the delusion that worked out. but here's the thing - the cautious realistic people didn't make it either. they just failed quietly at things they didn't care about instead of loudly at things they loved. fake it till you make it isn't a hack. it's the whole game. you act like the person you want to become until your skills catch up to your confidence. there is no other way. the gap between who you are and who you're pretending to be is called growth. stay delusional.
