You know, Jesse, before you decide to give up—of course, no one can stop you—please take a moment to think about this.

When you were a baby, you couldn't walk, but you kept trying. You fell down, got back up, and tried again. You had a goal, even without realizing it, and you achieved it!

When you learned to swim, at first you couldn't float on the water, but you kept putting in the effort. No one forced you, and you didn't compare yourself to other already skilled swimmers. You just knew that sooner or later you would figure it out—whether it was walking, swimming, or reading. At that time, you didn't care how good others were. You were just focused on improving yourself, right?

The truth of life is: you have to give yourself time. It's easy to say "I can't do it," but if you ask yourself "why?" you won't find a real answer.

Trading is no exception. Comparing yourself to others is meaningless, especially to strangers on the internet. They might say a lot or brag about their successes, but that won't help you improve your own life.

If you're going to compare yourself to anyone, why not compare yourself to someone like Elon Musk? He was bullied in school and spent time reading 3-5 books every day. He paved his own path to success, without worrying about what others were doing or what they thought of him.

Remember, we are all born with the same basic tools: two hands, two legs, a brain, and—most importantly—our own lives. Only we can build the life we want. No one else can do it for us.

So ask yourself, what small things can you do every day to improve your life—even if it's just 1%? Maybe it’s reading for 15 minutes in the morning. Maybe it’s walking 3 miles. Maybe it's writing your goals down on a piece of paper. Whatever it is, as long as it’s meaningful.

Start small and keep making changes. Nothing worth doing comes easily.

You want to give up because you think you're not as good as others. But ask yourself: what have you done to become as excellent as they are?

You will be okay. Give yourself some time, and you will find the answers you need deep down.

Love you.
