Stop fixating on market forces you can't control. Focus instead on what you can: your strategy, research, and risk management. A mindset shift toward seeing the world as supporting your goals, paired with disciplined skill-building, leads to consistent income growth.
Market manipulation is real, but focusing on it too much is like chasing conspiracy theories. You'll end up feeling stuck, convinced the game is rigged. The truth? You can't control the whales or the market. What you can control is your strategy, your research, and your risk management. Stop worrying about the noise and focus on what you can actually do. That's how you move forward.
I like that. You know, a lot of times people feel like they're victims. They can't control their outcome, or they have a goal or something they want to accomplish, and they're just like, the world is conspiring to make them unhappy. I mean, there's a quote from Matthew McConaughey in his book Greenlights, and I love it. He says, I decided to choose that the world is conspiring to make me happy. And I believe that anyone who kind of simply changes that outlook is going to immediately get better results, and their life is going to be better as a result of it. Focus on skills, developing yourself, and the strategy, right? You can control the strategy. Ultimately, long term, you're going to become a 1% person. You're going to be able to create 1% income.
