Don't Tell Yourself Stories
"In public avoid talking often and excessively about your accomplishments and dangers, for however much you enjoy recounting your dangers, it's not so pleasant for others to hear about your affairs."
— Epictetus, Enchiridion
Today's meditation is really about not trying to constantly be the centre of attention and to appreciate the value of listening and connecting with people.
X immediately springs to mind for me, with the amount of people boasting huge green screens and enticing the vulnerable and newbies in, with the promise of massive profits! These people are posting most days; Look at me, look how great I am. I can teach you to be the same... for a fee!
Steer clear and let your journey into trading come from building your own knowledge and developing/following strategies. You need to put in the hard work of course, but this way you will build and grow.
Listening and connecting with people through TTM's Discord group is a great way to learn, look at various strategies and find something to build on, as you develop as a trader.
So listen and connect with others, because as we often say here at TTM; "together we are all trading the market."
Happy trading guys and gals.
