Hello all, this week has been jampacked with activities — most of it unplanned! I planned to do my taxes the other day but since it was a holiday, I ended up doing all sorts of mommy duties becoming flat out to do taxes. I summoned the strength to get up early and it is no small miracle that after doing the taxes, I came upon Dr. Van Tharp’s newsletter *(Dr. Tharp my trading coach). If you haven’t already, please sign up to get his free newsletter. I received his newsletters for years and I remember getting so much inspiration and lessons on trading from them. Find the latest one here.
The article in today’s newsletter is very special. It talks about miracles and I remember my own. Extra money is always a miracle, and especially back when I was struggling to become a profitable trader, it is kinda hard to believe that one day, I will be trading for a living and won’t have to leave my babies to go work long hours. Everything just felt right when I tell myself that even if I haven’t become the success that I wanted to be, I keep on praying, keep on learning, keep on improving. One day, as I’ve done my quarterly transactions, I noticed that I have been hitting my targets of generating 3x what I risk per transaction, and so I have become, a better trader. It then emboldened me to ask God to send me a big amount of money to increase my capital, I felt I had earned “the right” to ask this money because, even with small amounts of money, I am able to use it wisely at last!
Lo and behold, an earthquake struck. And that earthquake became a real blessing. We got a “windfall”, an insurance payout (no tax! 🙂 ) from our damaged property and I’ve used it as my trading capital, profiting many times over.
So I’ve resolved of just praying for what I want, with trading, I can CREATE OPPORTUNITIES for myself and believing that it is for me and for good, it comes.
