During my 1 month plus of “Gaming in the Zone”, i found one of the crucial element that involves in successful trading. The answer is PASSION!
Passion is define as : a strong liking or desire for or devotion to some activity, object, or concept.
To master trading successfully is never an easy task, and i could say that it is the toughest profession in the world. As it involves the art of pyschology and science. For those who have just started to learn trading, you may feel excited even at the slightest movement in the market. However, when the going gets tough, you will be facing with the toughest challenge in your life (Your own pyschology). This is where it makes the difference between those with true passion and those with “3 minutes of passion”. It is the deep passion that keeps you going and overcoming the obstacles along the way.
So i guess we have talk enough about one of the crucial element (passion) involves in successful trading. So how do you actually duplicate the same enthusiasm and high level of excitement when you wake up early in the Sunday morning playing Warcraft while having only slept 3 hours before?
First of all, you need to identify your goals and dreams. Without these, you will get mentally burnt out in no time. Trust me! During my period of “Gaming Obsession” levelling fast is my goal, and it is what keeps me going on and on, night after night of sleep deprivation. So you need to identify your goal in trading. What you want to acheive? Your timeline in acheiving your goals….etc.
Next, form a close circle of team mates who share the same passion as you. It will increase your enthusiasm level and push you forward to the next level.
“No two minds ever come together without thereby creating a third, invisible intangible force, which may be likened to be the third mind” by Napoleon Hill.
Another advantage of having a close circle of team mates is to share your goals and dreams to them. The more you talk from your heart, the more real it will become and soon you will reach your goals.
So how do you know if you develop the passion? One of the guideline is when you speak of intensity and focus about trading. You will find yourself thristy for knowledge and welcome any challenges with positive mind.
