Trading on Target: How to Cultivate a Winner's State of Mind

THE ALTERNATIVE

So, you are asking, if I give up my quest for perfection, what will I have in its place? Will the result be chaos, mediocrity, poverty, sloth, and crudeness all around me? Of course not! You can still exercise good taste and high standards. But you can allow yourself to be satisfied with a job well done or done to the best you can do. You will discover that very good and excellent can also bring you outstanding results. And now you can sit back and take pleasure in the foibles and shortcomings in others as they display their desire for “perfection.” You can relax and enjoy the process of trading. And best of all, you can learn to appreciate all that you have. The result will be that you can now trade with a sense of joy, with the knowledge that loss is coming and it is okay because it is built into your system, that you are supported by family and friends, and that each day is a gift. Oh, and by the way, your trading will almost certainly advance to the next step.

If you do not allow for silent moments in your life, looping stories of self-talk will interfere with you accomplishing you goals.
