I have decided to begin these in a more general sense in terms of topics and have more trading based threads on twitter for now. I made this decision truthfully because I don’t feel the need to limit myself to what I talk about here – I know that it will all tie itself together in some way down the line eventually. Those who read these early on will have the best understanding of who I am and my thought process behind what I do anyway.
After experiencing a sudden end to what was a long three year relationship a couple months ago, my primary focus has turned towards personal development and growth. This involves convincing myself that I am allowed to do things that I enjoy. This is something I have struggled with my entire life as I was not raised with the mindset that happiness can correlate to success – mostly meaning that I have always been under the impression that the things I enjoy doing are not “real careers” or “substantial forms of revenue”.
This is something that I have become very aware of in recent years. It’s not a bad thing per say – it’s more of an outdated mindset that really should have left society long ago when technology first began to advance and the internet has formed. While this may have changed long ago for the majority, it hasn’t changed everywhere. I like to say that I was raised a generation behind everyone else, and this comes with many positives and negatives.
For me, this came with always having ridiculously high expectations for myself even with the most menial of tasks. However, I also believe it helped me retain a certain work ethic that has been lost among many across present day generations. I do not say this as a shot towards anybody – times change, society evolves and advances and everything else follows suit. I have seen mere glimpses of that work ethic I speak of in myself in recent months, so I really can’t boast about that anyway.
I wanted to put patience into the title of this article because it is one of the main emotional ingredients I am highly focused on building on. Patience can be tricky – there’s a difference between being patient and remaining consistent as opposed to being patient and camping out on the sidelines. I’ve spent a majority of my life chasing goals and dreams instead of focusing on enjoying the grind that will ultimately push me towards reaching those things.
Learning how to be patient is a vital first step towards mastering one’s emotions and will directly tie in and heavily affect trading even on a casual level. This is also one of the many things I believe that excites me about trading; it’s extremely difficult if not nearly impossible to master – and that simple fact is what draws me to the industry and in turn to web3. Remember to be patient, be consistent – over time, the compounding results and success will begin to flow.
