Imagine If I gave up…

I’ve been exactly where you are now. I made every mistake there is. Each time the lessons I learned were far more valuable then the money I lost. I got real honest with myself and real obsessed with the skill. Trading brought my deepest depressions and finally my finest hours. Despite all the turbulence I never lost my vision. I’ll never look back… taken in New York City, N.Y. by @jamesstorms

It’s supposed to crush you.. break your will

Overwhelm you .. make your stomach twist

Make you doubt everything.. yourself and your choices

Few will bear the weights long enough to gain the strength to lift them

I no longer question anything

I welcome all obstacles and challenges

I. Will. Never. Quit.
and that’s why I will never lose

Everything that was sent to destroy me merely fed the monster inside me

Remember that those favored by god are also hunted by the devil

Every situation that was seemingly the worst possible outcome at that time.. ultimately provided the wherewithal to succeed

What’s on my plate at this current moment would choke 99% of men

Instead of asking why I remind myself that I am the only one created for, custom tailored of this cloth

A relentless , unwavering, insatiable appetite to destroy all that stands in my path

What an excellent story will be told standing from the other side of glory

My life is so beautiful I wouldn’t change a thing. Even my ugliest parts.

Thank you God 🙏🏻 taken in Koko Head Stairs of Doom by @jamesstorms

She taught me what love was before I ever knew the word. Many go their entire life without experiencing true unconditional love and I’m so fortunate to be surrounded by it. I’m so grateful to have her.

Every journey into the pursuit of excellence is paved with moments of great euphoria & despair.. great losses & gains.. sacrifices , ostracizations, doubts from your closest friends and family… and the eventual self doubts.

The confidence and clarity in your vision must be unwavered. You must be willing to give up what you want most right now, for what your want most in your future. This sacrifice very few are able to make.

The most common excuse I hear is “I don’t have the time .. I don’t have the resources”. Excuses and rationalizations to cope… Yet they make time to watch the playoffs , go to brunch & dinner on the weekends, scroll on IG , play games… Many of those same people often are either driving expensive cars .. living in nice apartments.. spending money on things they don’t need. Consistently making poor decisions. A victim to their own temptations.

You see where I’m heading ? Either you make the sacrifices or someone else will fill the space and occupy YOUR DREAMS.

I was always driven to do whatever it took. Started my first business at 7, and a second at 12. Started working full time at 14 years old. Two/three jobs. Lifeguarding 40 hours.. restaurants on the weekends. Side hustles too. Selling sneakers , shoveling driveways in the winter… every dollar went towards trading eventually

Everyone sees the finished products … nobody sees the forging of the iron. From 20-24, when I began trading.. I was shot, stabbed and killed emotionally & financially every day. I made zero dollars in my first 3.5 years. In fact I lost $100,000 of my money.

At times I wavered but ultimately I never gave up. I always saw the vision of where I was heading. I made mistakes surely , but each loss is accompanied by a lesson. It’s on you to learn humility and accountability. I changed things about myself , my habits , my friends , my beliefs.

I changed my life .. and my life changed…
