11/19/2010 (Commenting / Ranting to someone re their achieving 2% then giving up their 2% plus 2% (‑4%):

After achieving the 2%, it IS hard to keep, yes . Mike suggested something to  me during Lunch with him… At the point of achieving your goal, Choose to Win. That’s it. Choose to win. You do have the choice of stopping right there. Walking away WITH your 2% and Experiencing that FEELING. Get used to that FEELING! See what keeping your 2% FEELS like. You ever watch the movie The Secret? I have it if you want I can send it to you. It talks about that very thing. Anyway, it works for me. A problem that often pops up after achieving your 2%, is that your (controlling) sub-conscious starts to play games with you… whispering that it was soooo easy to get the 2% why not got for 3% … even better 4%…. maybe 10%…. but you choose to ignore the Time Of Day (TOD) or maybe the Market is now in Cons when the DBRS can give false signals or it is only good to the Mid BB and you hold it for too long without locking in your BE, or …. a multitude of things that you choose to ignore because now you are focused on the PROFIT and not the RISK. Pick Your Battles. Choose To Win. It’s not what you Make… It’s What You Keep. LoL turned into a Rant. Selah.
