Quick story time…

I want to tell you about a guy named Joe.

Joe had a bad toe. Real. Bad. Toe.

He limped everywhere he went but refused to get treatment, which shocked everyone he knew. 

His reason? 

He believed staying uncomfortable would stop him from becoming complacent and losing sight of his dreams. Comfort breeds complacency and that painful reminder helped Joe stay driven. Each painful step was a whisper: “Keep moving, don’t settle.”

Why am I telling you this?

Well, this approach to discomfort as a tool is fascinating.

Comfort can relax us a bit too much. Sometimes, the right type of discomfort turns up our focus. It fuels the drive to deliver dramatic dreams.

And as traders, we often prefer comfort – the familiar techniques, the usual trades, the well-trodden markets.

But stretching beyond our comfort zones is where growth happens, so…

Choose to challenge yourself. 

Embrace discomfort.

Perhaps, just like Joe’s bad toe, this approach might keep you focused, sharpen your trading skills, and deliver consistent results faster.

 

Stay sharp,

Tomas
