Feeling inspired is a great way to start any endeavor. It gives you the motivation to take the first step towards your goal. However, if you’re aiming for something significant, inspiration alone won’t cut it. If it were that easy, everyone would achieve their New Year’s resolutions, and trading wouldn’t be affected by Murphy’s Law.
To succeed in any venture, you need to go through several stages. First, you need to feel inspired. Then, you must figure out what you need to do to achieve your goal. After that, you need to learn and execute the necessary steps. Next, you must grow your capacity to be the best version of yourself all the time. Finally, you need to wire your mind and nervous system to ensure that you never go back to your old ways.
While inspiration is crucial, it only takes up a small part of your overall experience. Without it, you won’t succeed. However, just because you feel inspired doesn’t mean you’ve accomplished anything yet. The real work, the heavy lifting, is still ahead of you. This is what will take you from vision to reality and allow you to enjoy that reality permanently.
So, whether you’re pursuing your New Year’s resolutions or your trading career, it’s time to get to work on the hard part. With your inspiration and passion, you can achieve anything you set your mind to. Remember, success is not just about feeling inspired; it’s about putting in the effort to make your dreams a reality.
