I digress a bit in this post as I think I've outlined some really great trading principles that if followed, will help you and me become much better traders/investors. This post is about becoming bigger in a holistic way because if you only focus on one thing in life with your head down, that very thing you eventually accomplish may not bring you the happiness or aliveness you think it will.
When I finally started making some good money, I got excited, very excited. I literally jumped for joy on certain days when it seemed as if the future was looking very bright. I was so happy I finally found an approach that stood the test of time and was going to change my life. Soon after I hit my first two financial milestones, I was left thinking... what's next? Although hitting financial goals was great, each time, it didn't have the same excitement it did when I first made my first breakthrough. Now I'm not saying making money isn't great, but there are also other areas of your life you should focus your attention on as well. What good is all the money when you're sick, stressed, and fat? Health, education, entertainment, friends and family are all equally as important as finance. Find the time to be present and enjoy life, read a book, take a walk, play a sport, take your partner out on a date, increase the amount of greens you eat and reduce the sugar, dairy, and wheat in your diet. You'll ensure that you will be in tip top shape, happy, connected, and well educated for the world of tomorrow, all while slowly becoming financially independent.
