Likability requires agreeableness, not truth.
If you aren't hated by the corrupt, the brainwashed, and the self-destructive, your standards are too low.

Some people go like "I don't believe in god it's fiction i believe in science"
Same people don't understand maths and read science like fiction.
Gravity Exist... why bro? Coz my science book said so... That's more like cultist talk not even Question n logic.

If you trade trend, you'll get a bunch of false starts
If you trade momentum, you'll often buy the top/sell the bottom
If you trade mean reversion, you'll periodically get carried out by an outsized move
And so on for basically every trading system
This is the cost of doing business that's embedded into every market effect you're monetising
Your job is to understand it and manage it
If you try to avoid it entirely you simply won't get paid
There's no perfect system, it's all about managing trade-offs
Go take a look at your setups/playbook or wherever your trading system lives and map its assumptions and failure cases
The stuff you wanna avoid:
1. Mutating your system because the risk feels uncomfy so you get the worst of both worlds e.g. not holding for long trends/outsized moves but still eating the false starts when you're wrong (all the downside, no balls for the upside)
2. Not knowing what the trade-offs are and sizing like a dickhead so when you're wrong it wipes out all your gains e.g. penny collecting on mean reversion with increasing size and then getting fully wiped on the outsized move

You need boredom. A lot of it. Start by going on walks without music. No stimulation. No distractions of any kind. If you learn to sit with your own thoughts, for long enough, in time they will start serving you. You'll start having ideas once again. You'll start developing an extreme sense of clarity that will shift you into the next stage of your life. All by being bored, which is pretty insane.

Underrated life advice: You can literally start to turn your whole life around by winning the next 24 hours. One clean day becomes evidence. Evidence becomes momentum. Momentum becomes a new life.

whoever said “you MUST BY ALL MEANS develop a strong opinion of yourself so you don't end up internalizing the beliefs others have of you” changed my life.

The older I get, the more I realize how much of your life is shaped by the stories you tell yourself. I’m not ready. I’m too late. I’m bad at this. I never follow through. Be careful. You believe what you repeatedly rehearse. Tell better stories. Then prove them through action.
I will let this post be my 2nd journal...

some are systems, some based on data stuff... some are just personal learnings...

Everything can be Important.
But not everything has to be priority.
2nd income is important but not more than the poor health u have right now.

Once addressing those thoughts I get more clarity about the things at hand.
and I stop negotiating the time and efforts I put on it.
The question about being Discipline is a default now. Got nothing else to do than the things at hand.

writing those thoughts take very little time that keeping them entertained on mind.
the over thinking does come from fear and it needs addressing not feeding it more uncertainty.
writing and allocating it time costs me like 30mins but I get clear image of my fears.

One of the things that i realised and has helped me study or say do focused work for 8-9hrs a day.
More time u have to do something will also give more time to do random stuff and over thinking
Trying to dodge the thoughts make open loops and that exhaust and takes more time

Finish something. Anything. Stop researching, planning, and preparing to do the work and just do the work. It doesn’t matter how good or how bad it is. You don’t need to set the world on fire with your first try. You just need to prove to yourself that you have what it takes to produce something.
There are no artists, athletes, entrepreneurs, or scientists who became great by half-finishing their work. Stop debating what you should make and just make something.
