I really wanted to avoid the mistakes I made last time and now it looks like I might not even get that chance.
If you don't get the chance then you didn't make the mistake.
I think the mistake you're making now is thinking you won't get the chance.
That's not a good headspace to be in.
It increases the chance of failure.
I honestly don't care. This is all free money for me for the most part. It's not like I am depending on it to pay my bills. I was just hoping to put myself in a better position to have a little more fun in the second half of my life.
I guess what I'm trying to say is that you definitely will care if you let what's happening right now put you on tilt and then you fishtail into even more tilt later on the winning side. I've seen gamblers rationalize losing what they've earned countless times, especially at the poker table.
It even has a name: "easy come easy go".
Winners tilt is even worse than losers tilt.
I'll be working very hard to stay ever vigilant this year.
Ah, okay. 😀 I still have my targets in mind, both soft and hard. I might need to adjust them if it looks like we aren't even going to hit the soft targets or the soft targets need to become the hard ones.
It's been proven that almost all gains occur within less than 20 days out of the year.
There haven't been any indications that "this time is different".
Everything we are seeing is perfectly normal.
