Give Thanks
"In all things we should try to make ourselves be as grateful as possible. For gratitude is a good thing for ourselves, in a manner in which justice, commonly held to belong to others, is not. Gratitude pays itself back in large measure."
— Seneca, Moral Letters
An interesting meditation today and there are so many things that we should all be grateful for, on a regular basis.
This is also true when it comes to trading and I for one, am eternally grateful that I found TTM and it's fantastic resources.
I am also grateful that trading enables me to be able to work part time, giving me a much better overall work/leisure balance.
This is why I feel that it is so important to stick to the strategies that I know inside out and back to front, because they serve me well. Yes it includes putting in lots of hard work and you must be prepared to put in the endless hours of practicing, as you learn, evolve and develop on your trading journey.
If you are prepared to stick to a strategy relentlessly and practice repetitively day in, day out, you will be rewarded in the long run for sure.
It's all about finding strategies that work for you and that suit your trading style and then having the commitment and persistence to keep on keeping on, through thick and thin. It does get easier as you become more comfortable and confident in what you are trying to achieve for sure!
So, take a moment today to think about all the things that you can be grateful for and appreciate and "give thanks," maybe silently in thought and reflection. You may be surprised, how much there is to be thankful for.
In the meantime, silently go about your business of becoming the best that you can possibly be and your trading results will speak for themselves over a period of time, as you become more and more accomplished on your trading journey.
Make it an obsession! "Give thanks" and enjoy every moment, along the way.
