You will never be perfect You are born with tradeoffs, you have strengths and weaknesses. It's physically impossible for you to be perfect. But these strenghts and weaknesses do make you special and unique. So quit spending time trying to be perfect and right in every way. Instead, focus on understanding yourself and learning about yourself. This way, you can operate at the maximum capacity that you can operate at.

So how do you find this happines in school or work everyday? The incorrect way is to default to habits or repeating the same life every day. Instead, try to set goals and live in accomplishment. Challange yourself - in a healthy way. Seeing yourself grow and improve will only make you happier.

In the last post, I talked about what fear looks like in the market. In this post I'll teach you how to coexist with fear. First of all, it's important to understand that fear comes from uncertainty. So if you lower your uncertainty, you lower the impact fear has on you. 1) Do your research - understand what you are investing in 2) Figure out the worst case scenario - if you can accept it you're good to go 3) Disrupt you habits - next time a short emotional dip occurs don't even bother touching your account 4) Learn from your fears - to do this you must forgive your past self and learn from your mistakes.

Fear is natural. It’s human. It exists to protect us. But in the market, fear behaves differently. It acts like PTSD, especially if you’ve lost money before. Everyone says “buy the dip.” It’s repeated so often that it feels like common knowledge. Obvious. Logical. Easy. Until the dip actually happens. Prices fall. Headlines turn negative. Your portfolio turns red. And suddenly, logic gets drowned out by emotion. Fear takes over. Not because you don’t understand the opportunity, but because your brain is trying to protect you from experiencing loss again. You cannot eliminate fear. It will always exist. The goal isn’t to remove fear. The goal is to coexist with it. The investors who succeed aren’t fearless. They’re the ones who learned how to act despite the fear.

If you’re happy, you’ll be efficient. So how do you find that happiness in school or work every day? The wrong way is repeating the same routine over and over again. The right way is to set goals and live in a state of accomplishment. Challenge yourself daily. Motivate yourself to learn. That’s how you stay motivated, fulfilled, and effective.
