Being a trader or a poker player isn’t about quick money. It’s about endless inner work. Every morning feels like going to war—not with the market, but with yourself. With greed. With doubt. With the exhaustion of constant decision-making. Every day, you stare into the face of chaos, wrestling with your emotions, with fear, with the shadow within. You’re always on the edge — because you live in a world where everything can change in a second.
You’re never truly balanced. Never really “on top.” Because the next risk is already on the horizon. And even in victory — your mind is already in the next battle. You learn not to panic when everything falls apart. Not to get euphoric when everything takes off. You learn to simply be. Strong. Real. Whole. Because there’s no other choice in this game.
This life isn’t for everyone. It demands spirit, pain, patience.But it’s in that fire that true strength is forged.And if you’re still here — you’re already much stronger than you think. On this day of sacrifice and reflection, remember how far you’ve come. And how much lies ahead.
