There are some people who have no reason to fight you, they could be older, richer, and more established, yet they won’t let you rise.
Just like Herod, who was intimidated by a baby, their fear isn’t about where you are now but where you’re going. But today, I pray for you: Anyone after the order of Herod in your life, standing in the way of your joy and progress, will go down for your sake! May God remove every obstacle blocking your path, in Jesus Christ's name!

Another big misconception about gambling is that people think it’s all about luck.
Yes, some people get lucky, but gambling requires skill if you want to make it long-term.
Most people who gamble don’t understand risk, and they lose money. That’s the side everyone focuses on. They don’t realize there are professional bettors in sports betting, professional gamblers in casinos, people who aren’t relying on luck but pure skill.
So, should they deny they’re in a gambling business just because they worked hard to master their craft?
I get it. Many traders don’t want their years of struggle dismissed by someone saying, “You’re just gambling.”
They want recognition for the hard work and dedication that most people can’t handle.
But the reality is this: trading is a gambling business.
Your real defense shouldn’t be denying it. It should be saying, “Yes, it’s gambling but not everyone can survive in this business. And those who do deserve their accolades.”
I’ve seen a lot of traders arguing that “trading isn’t gambling,” expressing frustration at the comparison.
Many reject the idea simply because they suffered to learn the skillset.
But here’s the real issue: people associate gambling with negativity.
Growing up, we were told gambling is evil, that no “child of God” should go near it.
We’ve heard countless stories of lives ruined by gambling, yet, at the same time, we’ve seen people make fortunes from it.
The hard truth? Trading is gambling.
Gambling is a broad industry with many forms, sports betting, Russian roulette, casinos, and more.
Yet, people refuse to recognize trading as a part of it. The reason traders struggle with this reality is that they’ve spent years refining their skills.
They want to believe their hard work makes it different.
But gambling isn’t just luck; it involves skill. That’s why we have professional gamblers, just like we have professional traders.
Not all gambling games are the same, but they share fundamental principles: risk, probability, and edge.
Yes, trading is a gambling business, but it has more potential than other forms. In casinos, “the house always wins” because the odds are stacked in their favor.
In trading, however, the market doesn’t care whether you win or lose. It doesn’t even know you exist.
If you’re skilled, you become the house by stacking the odds in your favor.
That doesn’t change the fact that trading is still gambling.
The truth will set you free but first, it will piss you off!
A lot of traders want medals for the sleepless nights, the blown accounts, and the years of struggle before finally making it.
I get it! Nobody wants to put in that kind of effort just to be told, “You’re just gambling.”
But denying the nature of the game doesn’t change reality.
Trading is a gambling business. The difference is that skilled traders, like skilled gamblers, tilt the odds in their favor.
They aren’t just throwing money at the market hoping to get lucky.
They have an edge, just like professional poker players, sports bettors, and high-stakes casino players.
The real flex isn’t saying, “Trading isn’t gambling.” It’s saying, “Yes, it’s gambling but I’ve mastered it”.
The only time traders call someone a gambler is when they think that person isn’t skilled enough.
But why don’t professional bettors do the same? Why don’t they say, “Oh, that guy is gambling, but I’m not because I’m skilled”?
Because they understand the game. They know that gambling isn’t just about luck. It’s about calculated risks, probabilities, and having an edge.
The truth is, most traders who say “trading isn’t gambling” are just trying to distance themselves from the negative perception of gambling.
They’ve put in the work, suffered through losses, and finally found consistency, so they don’t want to be lumped in with reckless, unskilled traders who blow accounts with no plan.
But here’s the thing, being a professional doesn’t change the nature of the business.
It just means you’ve learned how to survive and thrive in it!
Kenny Rogers’ song, The Gambler isn’t just about poker. It’s about life, risk, strategy, and knowing when to play your hand and when to fold.
Every morning, when I play that song, it reminds me that trading, like gambling, is a game of probabilities. It’s about reading the table, understanding the odds, and making the best decisions with the hand you’re dealt.
Some traders will argue all day that trading isn’t gambling because they’ve “suffered” to learn the skill. But what they fail to realize is that suffering doesn’t change the nature of the game. It only makes them better at playing it.
A professional poker player doesn’t say, “I’m not a gambler because I’m skilled.” A sharp sports bettor doesn’t say, “This isn’t gambling because I study the stats.” They accept the game for what it is and focus on becoming the best at it.
Yet, traders, who literally speculate on uncertain outcomes get offended when they’re called gamblers. Why? Because society has painted gambling as reckless, foolish, and dependent on luck. But professional gamblers know it’s not about luck. It’s about an edge.
“The secret to surviving is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep.”
That line applies to gambling.
It applies to trading.
It applies to life.
So every morning, I play The Gambler, not just because it’s a great song, but because it’s a reminder.
A reminder that no matter how skilled I get, I’m still playing the game of probabilities.
A reminder that emotions will destroy you if you let them.
A reminder that discipline is what separates winners from losers.
Because at the end of the day, whether you’re at a poker table or in the financial markets, you gotta know when to hold them and know when to fold them.
In business, you can adjust your strategy based on direct control over supply and demand.
In trading, you’re at the mercy of the market.
You can develop an edge, but you’re still placing bets on uncertain outcomes, just like a professional gambler does.
So, why do people, the majority of whom are extremely successful in other occupations, fail so
miserably as traders? Are successful traders born and not made? No. What's
necessary, he says, is that the individual acquire the trader's mindset.
