A stock is a share of a company. If a company was worth $100 and they issued 100 shares, each share would be worth $1, if you bought 51 shares, you would own 51% of the company.

Buying as tock gives you a part of a company

A dividend is them paying you if they do well, think someone giving you interest.

Stocks go up over time as the company value goes up, think that $100 company value goes to $200.

Basic of options:

Options are trading the right to buy or sell 100 shares of a stock at a certain price on a certain date.

You have an $8 stock, you think it will go to $10 in 6 months. You pay to have the right, so you pay $20 for the right. If the stock goes to $10, you get 100 shares, but you only pay $8.

Options are expensive because there is a premium on them, you have to pay for that right

You don’t have to take the shares, you can sell that contract to buy 100 shares to someone else.

I was reading a book called Who switched off my brain. It’s about dealing with stress, negative emotions, and toxic thoughts. And I came across something fascinating, it talks about, how your thoughts and what you think of, can determine your mood or make it even worse.

So, here’s an example: If you’re feeling down, you always think of the worst possible things. Let’s say you’re lonely, you conjure up every memory that you have of when you’ve been left out, all the times you’ve been wronged or weren’t invited over. You dig yourself deeper and deeper into that plot.

And, it just gets you more set in your ways.

When you’re thinking of something, how do you get out of that funk? Or, how do you ensure you stay in a positive, healthy mindset?

Giving, I’ve talked about it before and I’m talking about it again, because, nobody gives. That’s why, although, its one of the greatest things you can do, so today, I’m bringing that point to you all over again.

Why give, well, it makes the lives of others better, that’s for sure, but it’s also got a whole bunch of health benefits, so let’s go over those first.

Giving makes you feel happy, meaning, it’s good for your health. Giving reduces stress and decreases blood pressure. And it’s contagious, if you give, others give, it makes everyone happier, giving creates a chain reaction, a chain reaction of good.

I know I’ve found myself in situations where I wasn’t sure how to build a habit. I wanted to stop sleeping in, start going to the gym consistently, eat right and be consistent with my work on Thought Hustle, but it wasn’t easy. Then, I read Atomic habits, a book that takes you through, how to build habits, day by day.

Imagine if you could improve by just 1% every week, at the end of the year, you would be an entirely new person, so often, we try to start a new habit, we go full throttle, and then burn out within a few days or weeks. Why? Because we bit off more than we could chew, so what’s the solution?

Start small, so small, it seems ridiculous.
