Avoid placing yourself on hold. Dont wait to live a passionate life. The timing is never perfect and if you wait to have everything lined up neatly, you just wont get started. If you are trading, that constant hesitation, born out of fear, will mean you wont place the trade. Fear is wrong, conduct your trading in a manner that wont cause you to be afraid all the time; its a signal that you havent effectively limited your risk. Life is composed of sleeping, working, avoiding work, eating, intercourse, and waiting on lines/searching for a parking spot. Thats about it for most of us. The best days give us that feeling that we can do anything. And we live for that in the trading marketplace. Most people are not working on something they are committed to because they dont have work to do that they believe in and love. Well then, are you working on something that will lead toward or prepare you for the work you were meant to be doing?
