The Quote That Changed My Perspective

Ever heard the quote “Comparison is the thief of joy” by Theodore Roosevelt?
​
It’s one of those perfect quotes, so short, yet so accurate…
​
There will always be someone with a nicer car, a bigger house, a bigger boat…
​
​And the same applies to the trading journey.
​
​Comparing your year 1,2, or 3 to another trader’s year 15 can be counterproductive.
​
It steals the joy you should have from the progress you are making.
​
And guess what?
​
If you carry on the comparison game throughout your journey, you’ll get to year 15, perhaps making 7 figures and look at the 8-figure guys with envy.
​
The joy of being one of the top 1% of traders is stolen from you because you look at someone doing bigger numbers than you…
​
So where does it end?
​
​You can end it now.
​
​There’s no need to compare yourself.
​
Sure, learn from others who have trod the path before you.
​
But compare?
​
Na… You are on your own journey. There will be ups, downs, ecstatic moments, and times you wish you hadn’t started…
​
Find joy in the small wins, joy in the progress, and joy in the process.
​
Do that and you’ve achieved a major unlock that will always serve you.
​
It’s easier said than done, we humans love to compare!
​
But well worth the effort.
