Be Brave and Believe

Had an excellent weekend and a lot of time to think about what i'm doing. It was my birthday on Saturday so of course a lot of time was spent thinking about the future, where i'll be this time next year and again in 3 or 5 years time. It was great to spend some time with my girlfriend, family and friends I hadn't seen in a long time. They all made the day.

In the evening we went to see an Irish singer songwriter called Declan O'Rourke. He has written one of my all time favourite songs so I was really looking forward to the gig, if not just to hear that song. (Sarah) As it turns out, the whole gig was amazing, a really small intimate setting in one of the local churches. It was my first time seeing him live and he completely blew me away. It has been a few years now since i've played any gigs but this really made me want to pick up my guitar again. One song in particular spoke to me, one I hadn't heard before but have now listened to a lot since the gig - "Be Brave and Believe". Despite it's intended audience probably being outside of the trading community I couldn't help but relate a lot of the lyrics back to myself and my trading. I've found my mantra.

I also sat down and had another session with my Dad, addressing issues I have whilst in a trade and using techniques to get myself into the right frame of mind to approach each trading day. I'm feeling a lot better since this with confidence and a readiness to tackle each day.

Be Brave and Believe.
