The Truth about the Struggle
Your struggle isn't wasted; it's strength in process. Thereâs a story about a man who sees a moth struggling to break free from its cocoon. The struggle looks painful. So, he takes a knife and gently cuts the cocoon open. The moth emerges easilyâŚBut its wings are weak. It never flies. It dies shortly after. What most people donât know is that the struggle itself is what forces fluid into the mothâs wings, strengthening them so it can survive in the wild. Remove the struggleâand you remove the strength. Now hereâs the part most people miss: The man with the knife isnât cruel. Heâs impatient. And the one who doesnât intervene? Thatâs God. God could remove the struggle. He could make it easy. He could hand you the result. But He doesnât. Because the cocoon is the Cross youâre meant to carry. đ Why Trading Feels So Hard (On Purpose) If trading feels frustratingâŚIf discipline feels hardâŚIf youâre tempted to quit when drawdowns hit⌠That isnât a sign youâre failing. Thatâs the process working. Trading pressure: - Builds emotional control - Forces humility - Exposes weak habits - Burns impatience out of you - Teaches obedience to rules If He stepped in and removed that struggle, if He âmade it easy," youâd emerge financially weak, unable to survive long term. And eventually⌠youâd blow up. đĽ The Test Isnât the Market, Itâs You The struggle youâre in right now is the test. Not of intelligence. Not of strategy. But of how badly you actually want freedom. Everyone wants to fly. Few are willing to fight their way out of the cocoon. Those who endure: - Stop chasing dopamine - Stop needing certainty - Stop reacting emotionally - Start executing like professionals And one day, almost quietly⌠They fly. âď¸ Trust the Process. Carry the Cross. Finish the Mission. God allows the struggle because He sees what youâre becoming. Your job isnât to escape the cocoon. Your job is to outgrow it. Stay disciplined. Stay patient. Stay obedient to the process.
