Mark Manson on how to win at life:
1. Commit to doing a hard thing.
2. Do the hard thing.
3. Feel good about doing the hard thing.
4. Become someone who enjoys doing hard things.
You can’t force trading to click.
It happens at different times for everyone.
But once it clicks,
it’s life changing.
Don’t rush it.
Just keep grinding.
As a man, after you cross 30, sit down and study the patterns in your family. Look at what distracted, delayed, or derailed the men before you. Look at what destroyed them. Your father, his brothers, your uncles, older cousins etc... is it booze, is it gambling, is it women, is it recklessly siring everywhere, is it poor financial decisions, did they struggle with deep anger issues, domestic terrorists, did they practice witchcraft and all that.
Sit down and study those patterns,, then make intentional decisions to break those cycles. Remember some of these things are normal vices. Look for a recurring or deep recognizable patterns that are plastered all over men in your family. What brought them down. Do you see a pattern? Now that!
As Joshua Selman always says “As a man, number one thing that will help you live to your potential is knowing what can bring you down”. And you may not run away from your family tree. Refuse to be a victim of repeated patterns. Because they are there.
Whether you know it or not. Whether you recognize them or you don’t. They exist. They didn’t have the knowledge and resources we now have. Honor your progeny. Break out of them. Be made of Gold.
Your trading should feel relaxed.
If you’re anxious,
reduce your risk.
If you’re fearful,
backtest more.
Confidence in your trading comes through confidence in your model.
Never ever ever stop being humble
If you’ve been blessed with a permanent roof, certainty of getting a decent cooked meal regularly and a family, you’ve made it big in your life 🙏
Be ambitious
Work hard for it too
And know life’s not the same for all🙏
I asked my Guru, “What is anger?”
He smiled and said, “Anger is the punishment you give yourself for someone else’s mistake.”
I said, “But they hurt me.”
My Guru replied, “Perhaps. But the event lasted a moment. Your anger keeps it alive for days, months, even years. So forgiveness is not for their peace. It is for yours.”
Had a consultation this morning.
Grade 3 fatty liver.
Non-alcoholic.
What food?
6-7 meals a day.
Almost no protein.
Chapati after chapati.
Sabzi cooked in Seed oils every day.
Eggs once a week.
Then people act shocked when the report says Grade 3 fatty liver.
The biggest nutrition myth in India is that home-cooked automatically means healthy.
Rakesh Jhunjhunwala once said:
"Jab apni biwi sundar ho, toh doosri biwi Real Estate mein kyun jaaun?"
The man bought land in Alibaug for ₹60 lakh.
Someone offered ₹16 crore for it.
He still said no.
Not because Real Estate was bad.
Because Equity was better — for him.
Know your edge. Stay in your lane.
That's the whole game.
