Thankful.
A lot to be thankful for this year. My gf is currently knocked out from eating 2 Thanksgiving meals today. I feel like absolute shit too eating cleaning for x amount of weeks and then eating shit tons of fatty foods and desserts. But as this year winds down, a lot excites me for 2022. January i start my last semester of grad school. I'm planning on taking the rest of the year off work/school once that's done and finally get time to live life for once. It's funny to see how my perspective on life has change in the past couple years. Like this time 2016 all I wanted to do is be done with undergrad and just work to make money. Fast forward 5 years, I'm not rich but i have a decent amount of funds to live and to help my family. I've finally been able to pay off my credit cards and buy a car. It's dumb af to realize what I want to do with my life after committing to grad school but it's all a part of the journey. I'm not saying that i figured out this trading shit but I'm pretty confident that i can make it happen eventually. Even if it doesn't workout in the short term, i think i am going to be trading for the rest of my life. Like I'm super close to being funded by a prop firm and once that happens the sky is the limit. I can already anticipate all this shit coming with backlash from people that don't believe it's a real thing but it's a fucking beautiful thing. Once i get my footing right i want to help my friends and others learn about this shit and release them from the shackles we all have been taught to be attached to. Like even from back at VCU i always had a feeling that i was made for more than just working at a desk. Even when i was a kid up until now. Like all ive always been to the one to work harder at my jobs than at school. Like normal people would see working in sales or in a commission based job was the best way to like see your skills, basically you payout would be the result for your work. Although that is similar to what I'm trying to do, your still tied to shit and there are limitations. With trading it seems like there is no limits that can be hit. Everything that I've learned up to this point about trading is having a strong mental and to think outside of the tunnel vision and to see the bigger picture. A lot of traders that ive been learning from have been through hell trying to reach it. Although I don't think my shit is exactly the same, ive definitely been through my share of shit to develop my mindset today and it's only getting stronger. Like i said before, it won't happen over night but i just have a feeling it's in my reach. I want to look back at this post and laugh and say i was right. And i know I will be one day. Just speaking it into existence. I'm hype for the future, and use my past as a remembrance of how i get there. I don't think anyone is really on here anymore, but if you see this i hope your doing well in life and are striving to be what you aspire to be like I'm tryna do.
