A sniper does not fire because he has been lying still for six hours and wants it to be worth the wait.
He fires because the conditions are met.
If they are never met, he goes home with a full magazine.
That is not a failed mission.
That is the mission.
Stop being the gambler who hopes to win.
Start being the casino that knows its edge will pay off over time.
The casino does not care about any single spin of the wheel.
It only cares that the wheel keeps spinning.
Your job is to keep spinning.
A reminder from Atomic Habits by James Clear:
“When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don't have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running.”
It's never been easier to make money than it is today. But the reason people don't is because it's also never been easier to be distracted than it is today.
"The traders who can make money consistently on a weekly, monthly, and yearly basis approach trading from the perspective of a mental discipline."
