What I learned today from my biggest lost.....
....This is what I want to for the rest of my life. I thought this would just crush my confidence to a pulp and I would push stock to the side. I use to take failure very harsh. Failure use to mean "this is it", "this isn't meant for you or meant to be", and "you're not good enough for this..." I would continue to fail and eventually be scared to try ever again...
I'm not sure what it is, but this kind of failure is different. Failure in the stock market so far has added fuel to the fire. Every time I fail now, I'm more scared of not trying and not knowing if I ever make it, than the feeling of failure itself. I will tell you what I AM scared of. I'm scared of REGRET. I'm scared of waking up one day, very old, and realize that life just passed by... That my friends is scary.
Recently I've realized how lucky we are to be alive. I don't want to be SO lucky to be alive just to work a "9-5" (I actually work about 50 hours+ a week). We only have 1 life. 1 time at bat. 1 chance to make the most of your life. My dream is to travel. To be able to have a family I am able to see more than a couple hours a day. To be able to afford christmas presents for families, friends, AND those in need. Most importantly. Freedom.
So, with that said. I'm going to go study. Recollect myself and get ready for the next day. To everyone that have doubts about stocks or just life in general. Don't give up. The feeling of regret is worse than the feeling of failure.
Good outlook and God Bless
