Attitude Is [almost] Everything
By: David Chandler
I often play a little game with myself when I have to go shopping; to the post
office or on other errands.
Sometimes I will just go about my business and make little comment or eye
contact with the person serving me. Other times I will smile and talk to the
person. Ask them how they are. Even make a joke!
The difference is incredible. And it is amazing what affect it has on both them
and me.
If I take the effort to engage the person in a conversation and make eye contact
- almost without exception their face lights up, they smile and are friendly
back to me. And best of all, I feel much better.
Instead of it being just a chore, it can make the whole experience more
enjoyable. And the only difference is my attitude.
Now what does this have to do with you trading the stock market?
Well, I believe that in trading your success is almost completely determined by
your attitude.
If you don't believe me, play the game I just described.
And then ask yourself, "If I can affect my experience so dramatically through a
minor change of my attitude in one small area of my life, surely changing my
attitude in my trading will have a similar effect."
Just try it.
Look at the stock market with a negative attitude [such as the market is out to
get me!]. And then review the same information with the view that the market is
a wonderful source of financial freedom.
Do you notice a difference?
Do you think the second view is more helpful? Do you think it might give you
greater confidence and motivation? And less fear?
Now don't get me wrong.
I am not saying that positive thinking is all you need for success. Clearly you
need the necessary skills and experience to achieve anything in any area of your
life.
But having the right attitude and beliefs is absolutely crucial. Because it is
this that determines which actions you will take. And when.
You see the reality is that, without a positive attitude, you cannot be come a
successful trader. Period. No question.
So give it a go.
Have a look at your attitudes to the stock market and trading and see if they
need review.
What have you got to lose? Maybe just some limiting beliefs and attitudes that
are restricting your success.
And by the way - try my little game some time!
Be nice to a cashier or a waiter or a bus driver and see what happens. Maybe
even try it on someone close to you!
You will be amazed. And so will they!
