says, "You own everything that happened to you. Tell your stories. If people wanted you to write warmly about them, they should have behaved better."
To excel at anything you first have to sit in the discomfort of not knowing what you're doing and then wade through the exhaustion of being an amateur. For some this takes days or weeks, others months or years.
Avoid comparing yourself to others and keep your focus on your path.

If you're a trader, think about the reasons you got into trading in the first place. These reasons likely include freedom of time, working for yourself, and making money based on opportunity – not hourly.
One of the most dangerous things I see people do is attach their worth to their profit and loss.
As contradictory as it may seem, if you want be a successful trader for the long haul you need to detach yourself from the monetary outcome and focus on the process of trading well.
When you become certain in a trade or in life you lose the opportunity to see the possibility for other outcomes.
The greatest traders have no certainty in what the market will do, but have the ability to adapt and respond to what the market does.

I coach so many new traders that want to be 'in the game' and feel like they need to be trading all day long, but wins come with discipline and patience.
Breathe. Follow your plan. Practice patience.
The world is full of paradoxes. Here's one to always keep in mind when working toward your goals:
When things feel difficult or unattainable, focussing on the process instead of you desired end result will immediately get you closer to your desired end result.
One of the most difficult things for new traders to fully recognize is that losing is an inevitable part of the game.
Once you're able to set your ego aside and make peace with the small losses, you'll allow yourself greater opportunities for wins in the future.
New podcast drop!🎙️🔥 Listen as
@paxtrader777
discusses how he transformed setbacks into stepping stones through perseverance and resilience. Full episode here 👉
Underneath it all we are all emotional beings.
When you resist your emotions you deny your experience as a human. Doing the work to recognize, understand, and be with the emotions that make you human is a key step in self-awareness and mindfulness.
Once you recognize that you are the hero of your journey your possibilities become as boundless as you are willing to permit and ready to commit to.
Only you are responsible for your future.

Many people begin trading for the freedom it promises, but in time find it hard to pull themselves away.
It can be an isolating career, so it's vital to take care of yourself mentally, physically, & socially.
Don't lose sight of why you started & know there is peace in balance.

A lot of new traders struggle with executing in real-time what they've studied and learned. That's ok!
Trading is the most competitive game and it's like learning a new language, skill set, and mindset all at once. It will come with time.
Be kind to yourself on your journey.

The vast majority of people (often unknowingly) allow their identity to be defined by what they do professionally.
This can be especially dangerous for traders because a good or bad trade does not define you as a good or bad trader—or even worse—a good or bad person.
An amazing conversation with World Class Trader
@Jackaroo_Trades
- stayed tuned for the full podcast dropping next week on The Wall Street Coach podcast:
So many new traders want to do everything all at once...
I implore you to take it slower than you want if you truly want to be in this game for the long haul.
Crawl before you walk.
Walk before you run.
Run before you fly.
If you're a trader, your account is often a direct reflection of your internal world.
If you're stuck in a drawdown, there is something in you begging for remedy. This is where the true work begins.
Take some time to reflect on what you’re grateful for, what you’re working on, and how far you’ve come - both professionally and personally.
You might notice certain overlaps and correlations.
Remember, who you are will always impact what your do.
#MindfulMonday
Your personal life is actually the foundation on which your professional life stands, and if the foundation doesn’t get the maintenance it needs it won’t stand in a storm or last for the long haul. Take some time to focus on yourself this weekend.

Be sure you practice “constructive” criticism - not just left hooks 🥊 on yourself. Yes reflect on what didn’t go well this week. But don’t lose out on improving your trading by going down the rabbit hole 🕳️ of beating yourself up - instead ask yourself, “What can I do better
The market is not responsible for your wins or losses.
The market is not responsible for your attitude toward your trading.
Only you are responsible. Once you embrace the responsibility for your risk you can embrace the responsibility for your profits.
Seven years ago I was writing my book Transforming Wall Street on the Big Island of Hawaii outside this wonderful little coffee shop. I had stepped away from NYC to focus and finish my book. It was a journey I could have never seen coming in so many ways.
You’re physiologically hardwired to do the opposite of what is best for your success as a trader.
High stress effectively shuts down the prefrontal cortex – your thinking and reasoning. This is why as a trader you need a plan for everyday & every trade.

New traders so often just want to be "in the game." Sometimes it's best to sit back and do less.
If you want trading to be your future you have to be patient with yourself. Your knowledge and account will compound with time.

22 years ago this evening around 7 pm ET I got two phone calls. One was from my work colleague Latasha who told me she had just gotten a call from United Airlines canceling our 8:20 am flight out of Laguardia Airport to Colorado the next day.
I replied, “That makes no sense.
Aloha! Thank you for the DMs filled w 💗 I am fine. And I am feeling very sad. Life is so fragile. Life is so short. Hug 🤗 those around you. Focus on all you do have. Each day is a gift 🎁. Everything can change in the blink of an eye so practice presence. And practice love.
Winter Solstice. ❄🌙 It is a time of quiet, inward energy. The long night offers a good time to sleep more, rest more, dream more, heal more . . . Listen to your body if it's asking for more rest. Be gentle to yourself. You are nature & nature guides us to what we need. 🙏
The truth is that there are a million different ways to win and lose in trading.
And along those same lines, there are a million different ways to achieve peak emotional and mental clarity as a trader – but it will undoubtedly be unique to you and your journey.
The discipline of keeping your emotions under control is what makes or breaks a trader. One who is patient, disciplined and has strict rules that they can adhere to will come out on top.
Discipline only feels like punishment when it’s imposed by an outside force. Self-discipline is empowering and liberating.
Have a great weekend and don’t forget to rest and reset!
Knowing your emotional patterns is just as important as knowing your favorite setups and technical patterns.
If you're reviewing your performance based on your technical execution, why aren't you also reviewing your emotional triggers?
Your personal life is the foundation on which your professional life is built. If the foundation doesn’t get the maintenance it needs and deserves it won’t stand for long or last through the inevitable storms.
Be sure to nurture and invest in yourself.
Life will often present you with something completely out of your comfort zone – and it might scare you to death.
But if you are willing keep an open mind and step into the discomfort and fear, you might discover something about yourself you could never have imagined.
Everyday you have the opportunity to initiate change you want to see in yourself & the world. It is up to you to be the authority that will transform your life and the world at large.
This begins with with awareness & living consciously.
Consider this your invitation to do so.
The majority of people often (unknowingly) allow their identity to be defined by what they do professionally.
This can be especially dangerous for traders because a good or bad trade does not define you as a good or bad trader - or even worse - a good or bad person.

Don't forget the art of patience. In trading, as in life, the magic often happens not when we act, but when we wait. Allow the market to reveal its hand; your patience + discernment is your edge. 🕰️📈
Your success is going to look different than everyone else’s.
Embrace all of your accomplishments and all of your setbacks.
And most importantly, find gratitude for what you’ve experienced and learned along the way.
Your journey is unique to you.
