The SteveCast Experience.

Every single founder/trader/entrepreneur that I have met towards the end of the career. It's not money that is their source of pride.

This week’s post is about developing Patience and Discipline in trading.

You cannot make it as a trader without patience and discipline. Either you have

these qualities or you learn them the hard way. But these skills are not developed in

a vacuum. They are directly linked to your confidence in two areas:

1. Your trading strategy.

2. Your ability to execute it.

Is there something that helps certain forex traders succeed that they have which other forex traders don't have.

Mindset tuning is an area which many people ignore in achieving great results.

I will tell you about the kinds of meditation I use.

The first is prayer.

Prayer has been shown both spiritually and scientifically to have a positive effect on the brain.

In fact a study conducted on a group of patients who were divided into 2, that is, the PRAYER GROUP and the NON-PRAYER GROUP indicated that the PRAYER GROUP recovered much faster when they continuously prayed for 10 days.

Why?

Because prayer improves our confidence because we know that a higher being is taking care of our problems.

This translates into confidence in the markets.

The other is mindfullness meditation which allows us to observe our thoughts.

At first it will seem like nonsense, but as you proceed, you realize that you are not quick to react to any thing.

By not being quick to react,

You are able to control any impulses which occur in your mind during trading.

Mindfullness meditation should be practiced at least 20 minutes a day.

THE THREE AREAS OF TRAINING

There are three areas in which the person who would be wise and good must be trained. The first has to do with desires and aversions—that a person may never miss the mark in desires nor fall into what repels them.

The second has to do with impulses to act and not to act—and more broadly, with duty—that a person may act deliberately for good reasons and not carelessly.

The third has to do with freedom from deception and composure and the whole area of judgment, the assent our mind gives to its perceptions.

Of these areas, the chief and most urgent is the first which has to do with the passions, for strong emotions arise only when we fail in our desires and aversions.

INSPIRATION:

"When you are hurt too badly, it changes you. Your pain and your heartaches determine what you become. You meet people with a certain sadness and you wonder why you can't be the person you were before. You open your heart less, your laugh seems to disappear after three seconds. There's this constant heaviness in your heart that seems to push you down and no matter what you do, nothing elevates you. You talk about your childhood too much, you invest yourself in the things you loved before because you know that they are your safe places, they are the only times when you were really happy and not in a way you call yourself happy now, not pretending to be happy. You know that you have become stronger, but you know that you have also turned cold. You wonder if this is fragility instead of strength because strength gives you the power to open, the power to love without walls. And the truth is that yes, strength lies in all of that but it also lies in choosing yourself before others, being cautious of who has access to you lately. Self-love is pretty hard. Sometimes, it will even make you feel lonely. But that doesn't mean that you will feel this way for a lifetime. You heart will be warm again, and you will finally learn to laugh for at least ten seconds. You will love people again with walls, and you will only open to those who will truly deserve your attention. And that isn't bad, that is true strength. But it won't happen in a day. And it won't happen if you are trying too hard to become what you were before. Maybe, you are not healing because you are desperate to be the person you were before your misery, your trauma, your heartaches. No matter how much it hurts, the truth is that person does not exist anymore. There's a new you, a better you, trying to unravel its beauty and you are trying too hard to control it. Maybe, that's why you are still hurt. When you see a beautiful sky, you do not ask for it to soften the orange, or saturate the blue. You just watch it with marvel as it unfolds over your head. Your new self is the same. Do not try to adjust and turn it into something else. Instead, breathe life into this new person and let it become and grow.

Maybe then, you will finally know that healing isn't about overcoming the pain, it's about accepting and surviving it."

INSPIRATION:

7 Habits of Highly Effective People :

1. Sharpen the saw. Don’t work yourself to death. Strive for a sustainable lifestyle that affords you time to recuperate, recharge and be effective in the long-term.

2. Be proactive. You have a natural need to wield influence on the world around you so don’t spend your time just reacting to external events and circumstances. Take charge and assume responsibility for your life.

3. Begin with an end in mind. Don’t spend your life working aimlessly, tackling whatever job is at hand. Have a vision for the future and align your actions accordingly to make it into a reality.

4. Put first things first. To prioritize your work, focus on what’s important, meaning the things that bring you closer to your vision of the future. Don’t get distracted by urgent but unimportant tasks.

5. Think win-win. When negotiating with other, don’t try to get the biggest slice of the cake, but rather find a division that is acceptable to all parties. You will still get your fair share, and build strong positive relationships in the process.

6. Seek first to understand, then to be understood. When someone presents us with a problem, we often jump right to giving a solution. This is a mistake. We should first take time to really listen to the other person and only then make recommendations.

7. Synergize. Adopt the guiding principle that in a group, the contributions of many will far exceed those of any individual. This will help you achieve goals you could never have reached on your own.

Good luck!

Knowledge Is power🌐

*TWENTY TWO*

It is as true now as then.

I think they will remember this as the age of lamentations, the age of

broken minds and broken souls,

The age of hurt creatures and sobbing out their sorrow to the rhythm of the

blues –

The music of lost Africa’s desolation become the music of the town.

The age of failure of splendid things,

The age of the deformity of splendid things,

The age of old young men and bitter children,

The age of madness and machines,

Of broken bodies and fear – twisted hearts,

The age of frenzied fumbling and possessive lusts –

And yet, deep down, an age unsatisfied by dirt and guns,

An age which though chocked by the selfishness of the few

Who owned their bodies and their souls,

Still struggle blindly to the end,

And in their time reached out magnificently

Even for the very stars themselves.
