Living Without Restriction
"The unrestricted person, who has in hand what they will in all events, is free. But anyone who can be restricted, coerced, or pushed into something against what they will is a slave."
— Epictetus, Discourses
Today's meditation demonstrates how the rich and famous have restrictions. They can become slaves to their success. Certain things that they have to do and certain things that they need to avoid. That is the price they pay for their success when becoming rich and famous.
This can't really be compared to trading of course, because it's impossible to make the millions from trading, that the rich and famous earn!
What trading can give you though, is a life without restriction, as you can continue to live your normal life and make it even better with a regular extra income. As traders this should be our goal; slow and steady growth through patience, discipline and using the correct trading mindset.
