You have to die before becoming a successful trader
Trading or any profession in the world is not about "just" learning and doing something new.
It is all about developing a new skill that will not fit our current personality.
Its all about choosing between old personality and new skill.
Old personality will never allow new skill to sprout within.
It will be either old personality will try to kill the new skill or new skill will try to kill old personality, giving birth to a new personality.
Because developing new skill is like a lady giving birth to a baby. In the process the lady dies and a new mother is born.
In the process of developing new skill, one has to overcome old methods, self doubt, fear of failure, etc. A new approach needs a new man to take birth. That brings the possibility of new skill and a new personality.
With the new skill comes transformation in the man. More confidence, contentment, purpose, joy, love, etc, will give way to a new personality.
Those who fear to die wont live either.
The dull headed analytical personality has to die to give way to the birth of a brand new creative personality called trading businessman, an art of philosophy, the highest form of psychology, which is also an art.
This art of dying and taking new birth is known as transformation.
If you think a profession is nothing more than a means to make money, then your personality is that of a caterpillar. A Profession is a means to transform the personality into a more radiant one and money is just a byproduct.
The personality of a successful professional is that of a butterfly. Profession is a means to transform the life itself.
