The reason why I trade is so I never have to care about a single thing related to money.
The stress of not having enough or having to nickel and dime everything is horrible.
In turn, I make sure to give back unexpectedly & be truly generous-- happiness, for me, is giving.

It blows my mind that it is widely revered to be wealthy beyond reasonable proportion and to WANT exponentially more.
What if it was possible to take reasonable risk at all times, be the top 1% and not face mental breakdowns + physical trauma?
Hint: it is.

If you have a 1% chance of risk of ruin you're already compromised.
Can't tell you how many times that <1% probability actually plays out in reality.
You'd think it would be much greater than that, you'd be surprised.

Thinking about the worst case scenario is one of the ways that I strengthen my mind and safeguard emotions.
I want to be as rational as I can be when things turn to shit.
Start assuming what could go wrong, plan for it and stop complaining when we all deal with it.
