One of my biggest believes in life is :

"How we think about something determines how we see that something and what we will do about that something in relation to our believes about that something will directly impacts the possibility of that something to have an effect on us and our life and our ability to have an impact on that something."

What is really important to me not only in trading but in life is to be motivated and have purpose to reach goals. I also believe that motivation and drive can be learned and shared by anyone and this positive thinking energy is one of the strongest forces in the world.Its what makes people start building billion dollar companies from their garage to people beating life threatening diseases like cancer or for people to survive major disasters against all odds never mind succeeding at trading or being a great ping pong player.

I wish to share some of things that truly motivate me each day in the hope others might do the same so that like minded people may share what motivates them.
This might be anything from a quote,poem,book,song,video,movie,inspirational person,exceptional traders here at Forex Factory and elsewhere,great success stories ect. There is no limit to what can motivate us.



Proper motivation and a purposeful drive in trading especially in the beginning with the doubts and fears is important for building a strong trading character that can take the wins and the losses.Its something everyone has a different coping mechanism for.

Even as we become better at trading proper motivation is important to keep us striving for the best and to get the most out of our trading.

You can like,comment or discuss anything posted or anyone's views and

THERE IS NO RULES FOR POSTING IN THIS THREAD.FEEL FREE TO SHARE ANYTHING BUT PLEASE DONT BE NEGATIVE AND DISRESPECTFUL.EVERYONE CANT BE THE SAME AND THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH DISAGREEMENTS BUT COMMENTS THAT ARE WITHOUT RESPECT WILL BE REMOVED.

Motivation IS the most important factor. However, motivation can also be a killer. If you love this game too much there is this risk continuously changing your already successful system; enough is enough. Truth is that when you have a solid system including a fixed daily routine trading can actually become boring.. That search of excitement can easily corrupt your system.

In my opinion, motivation is a MUST, yes, but it would definitely not hurt to have a side-job/second hobby in order to eliminate the daily routine.

Wow - Thanks for that wealth of inspirational quotes by a truly remarkable man and a great thinker in the field of motivation and how we as humans perceive things we want to attain in this modern age.​

"Every act you have ever performed since the day you were born was performed because you wanted something."

Such a great thought

Hi Robertk

I agree.

Trading I suppose can be very monotonous once you have an understanding of what you want to do.But then its just a matter of how hard you want to try and push the system or idea.The sky is the limit.

I personally have been trading for just short of three years and I am far from it becoming boring or repetitive.There is a million ways to get more out of something even is it is as simple as gardening.But I do really understand where you are coming from as this happened to a trader I know but then he just went into buying and fixing and selling property as well.

Thanks for taking the time to post.

Hi Breza

I agree.

Money is a great motivator in today's world where it what we use to make a living.

Money is a tool. Thats all.So you can have trading for the purpose of generating money and doing other things or like you say you can truly enjoy being involved with the market and putting yourself to the test.Much like a professional sales man,football player , surgeon etc.

One of my all time favorite stories and views on trading and liFe by Jason Stapelton.
He is very cocky but I like the story and how he uses in trading
( I have no affiliation with him but he has masses of free video that you can learn a lot from.)

Never give in. Never give in. Never, never, never, never—in nothing, great or small, large or petty—never give in, except to convictions of honour and good sense. Never yield to force. Never yield to the apparently overwhelming might of the enemy.”

My Bedside book since that i can remember now, eternal wisdom that works everywhere, anywhere, anytime.

P.S. Just to let u know Andrew is not Dale Carnegie, they are not the same person, Andrew sent Napoleon Hill in a mission to discover The secret of sucsses and after many years and thousands of interviews with very rich and successful people the book " The Law Of Success " and " Think and grow Rich " was born and become an eternal Blueprint for any individual who wants to make it in life.
