New hobby, but the similar journey

How trading guides me through the whole life, since I started trading.

I like to do hard things. Back then I did MMA for sometime (read it like one year) and I was not so old - around 15 years old, but to be honest what I did not like too much was the damage it could do to me in years as I would be doing this sport. What I liked the most about this sport, was the ground game. Grappling.

After many years, now I have an option, to go to one of the best gyms I could ever imagine and do Jiu-Jitsu with one the best mentors in my country, so that’s exactly what I am doing now. I am training BJJ now.

To be honest, I expected it to be hard - but it is way harder than I could ever imagine. I am getting beaten up much more than I did back then in the MMA. Main reason for that is that I was not the tallest guy in any room and now imagine when you are the guy who doesn’t have weight to overwork other nor the technique to beat someone. I am still one of the weakest people there, but you know what? I am used to it.

When I started trading, I knew shit about the markets. Anybody around me knew the same shit I did and was beating me up mentally, that trading sucks and it is just gambling - but here I am. Almost 6 years later, doing the same thing almost everyday. I am used to pain.

There is something about getting beaten up every training (you can read it as trading session as well), but still showing up and giving it all.

Trading simply built me this mindset I have now. I can do hard shit and don’t give a single fuck about the short term outcome.

If you do trading (probably you do if you read my letters), believe that even if it sucks now, it will help you in other aspects of your life. It might be miserable now, but you will become unshakable. Because the short term results will not create any hard feelings. You will just go and get beaten up.

After all - the life will beat you up.

But that’s what’s beautiful about that.

There is no joy in summer, when you don’t know that the winter is coming.

Bless you all.
