QUOTE: "The other day I was telling people—I think I was in Mbale—and I said, 'Poor people will not go to Heaven.' They said, 'Hey, you man, you've committed sacri— I said you will not go to Heaven, do you know why? 'When you are poor, you won't go to Heaven. Do you know why? Because a poor man wakes up in the morning, first thing they do is curse God: 'God, oh God, why did you make me poor? Why is everybody else better than me?' >God gave you a head and brain for free. He gave you hands for free. He gave you legs for free. He gave you energy for free. He gave you land for free. He gives you rain for free. Then you curse God for not giving you money? God gave you the attributes of making money. That's why he has not come here to set up a business. God has no business, he doesn't look for a job, he doesn't earn a salary, so he can't give you money because he doesn't make money. But he has given you assets for making money. So stop blaming God for your poverty. In Uganda here, the poverty is in your head"- Gen (rtd) Kahinda Otafiire.

My life is beautiful because favor knows my address while life is experiencing me.
Good things don't visit me by accident
I manifest them and they arrive in abundance.
Positive outcomes seem to gravitate towards me.
Opportunities, Blessings, and breakthroughs find me even when I'm not looking for them.
I've learned that Gratitude unlocks even more of what God has already prepared for me.
I am living proof that God's goodness is not limited.
I Am Blessed.
We’re Blessed.
【The Fundamental Error In The Phrase "Sometimes The Strategy Just Does Not Work"】
On a night when a losing streak has left you discouraged, you open your timeline on your phone.
A trader with many followers, someone who looks successful, has written this.
"Even the best strategy has times when it does not work."
For a moment, that sentence makes you feel saved.
I see.
Maybe my strategy is not the problem.
Maybe this happens to every strategy.
But the very sentence that comforted you is the very culprit keeping you trapped in the same place.
This phrase is wrong at its root.
And the moment you feel saved by this phrase, it clearly exposes what kind of game you think trading is.
■ It Is A Phrase That Sees Only One Side, "Winning Equals Working"
The idea that "sometimes the strategy does not work" comes out precisely because you are seeing only one side, "the strategy is working equals a winning trade."
In other words, it lacks probabilistic thinking.
I often describe trading with two phrases, "the win or lose game" and "the game of probabilities."
The phrase "it does not work sometimes" is exactly what comes out of the mouth of someone playing "the win or lose game."
I am playing "the game of probabilities."
So that phrase never comes out of me, not even by mistake.
In fact, I have said the opposite many times.
A rule based loss is exactly where the edge is.
This is not consolation, and it is not blind belief.
It is logic.
Positive expectancy only holds when both wins and losses are included in the distribution.
A rule based loss is part of what makes that positive expectancy real, and even in the very moment a loss appears, the strategy is working.
■ When Is The Strategy Actually "Not Working"
So let us think about it the other way.
When is the strategy actually "not working"?
It is when you do not follow the rules.
The strategy stops working because you do not follow the rules.
If you are following the rules, the strategy is "always" working.
The wins and losses that occur there have nothing to do with whether the strategy is working.
Because those individual results are already accounted for, from the very beginning, as part of the strategy.
In other words, only one thing decides whether the strategy is working.
Whether you are following the rules, and that alone.
■ "But When I Keep Losing, It Feels Like It Is Not Working"
Here, someone will always say this.
"But when losses continue, it really does feel like the strategy is not working."
That is because you still misunderstand winning as the function of the strategy.
A strategy also includes "rules for losing."
And those rules themselves are the function of the strategy.
You repeat entries and exits under the conditions the strategy dictates, and the sum of the wins and losses that occur there leaves profit.
That is a strategy with an edge.
In that sense, losing exactly as the strategy dictates is an absolutely necessary part, and that itself is proof that the strategy is working.
If continued losses make it feel like the strategy is not working, that is only because you have not understood that strategy through a large sample size.
Unless you view the strategy from a large overall perspective, as statistics and probability, the fact that "a rule based loss also has edge" will never truly settle inside you.
■ What You Should Truly Be Asking
A strategy with an edge does not exist to win the single trade in front of you.
It is built so that profit remains when you repeat its rules.
That is a strategy with an edge.
And to make that strategy work, your following the rules is essential.
If you are following the rules, the strategy is always working.
So what you should truly be asking is this.
Do you truly trust that strategy?
And have you spent the time and effort, through your own hands, to build that trust?
That is the only place the answer exists.

Thank you for reading.
The older you get, the more you realize
Luck is just exposure
If you sit in the same chair, same routine, talking to the same people, nothing new happens.
You have to touch the world to win. Travel more.
Talk to strangers.
Try a new coffee spot.
Post on social media.
Start a side hustle.
The world rewards motion.
You don't find opportunity sitting still.
LIFE IS SO PEAK WHEN YOU JUST DON'T CARE
Not in the sense that you stop caring about people.
Not in the sense that you give up on your dreams.
I mean when you stop caring about every little judgment, expectation, and opinion that was never yours to carry in the first place.
When you stop worrying about whether everyone understands you.
When you stop trying to explain yourself to people who have already decided who you are.
When you stop asking for permission to live the life that feels right to you.
It’s funny how much energy we spend trying to control things we can’t control.
What people think.
What they say.
Whether they approve.
And then one day you realize that freedom was never about getting everyone on your side.
It was about being okay even when they’re not.
Because the moment you stop living for an audience, life starts feeling lighter.
You laugh more.
You take more chances.
You say what you actually mean.
You become who you really are.
And somehow, the less you care about being accepted by everyone, the more alive you feel.
Life is so peak when you finally realize that your happiness was never supposed to depend on someone else’s opinion of you.

Traders who make a lot of money fast usually do so by taking excessive risks.
And when the pendulum swings back, they often lose a lot quickly.
Those who make a lot slowly usually do so with thoughtful risk control practices.
Their success is more reliable and sustained.

@guzu_p Bro hasn't carried DNA to confirm weather the child is his, but is here putting a pose of his career to be available during birth, what if he does a DNA later and find out the kid isn't his😂😂😂😂
📍 learnt this after 1000+ trades
- Mindset is greater than strategy because you can have the best setup but if you lack; patience, discipline and emotional control, you'll quickly burn
- overtrading is the top of the list in what keeps traders unprofitable
- Repetition will build your edge
- Risk management is the Holy Grail you're looking
- In good times or bad times, keep showing up, because with the best system and Management if you don't show up, it's all a waste.
Believe it or not you don’t have to re invent the wheel to be successful at trading in fact, it’s easier if you don’t! Find something that makes sense to you and you can profitably repeat with proper risk management and sizing and you can change your life quicker than you think
