Today was an unusal day. I lost all of my Forex profits plus an addtional $200.00 for a total over $600.00 in an hour. At work, I couldn’t even think. I didn’t want to be there. This is about how I was feeling today.

However, the experience got me to thinking. I was up $450.00 for the week and I thought about talking all of my profits and putting it into my savings. However, greed was what made me place another trade before going to work. The one good thing I did was place stops 100 pips below my order.Yes, it got me to thinking about how self-sabotaging my behavior is regarding wealth and money. It caused me to think about how I view and appreciate money.  How I don’t follow my own rules that I set up for trading system. All of this caused me to be at a loss for the week.

So what I’ve learned today is that I know that I can create the type of life I want because I’ve created this life. I have no one to blame other than myself. I can create wins just as I can create losses. The only thing left for me to do is learn how to make a living without a job. I know from my last week’s trading I can, but I need another source of income to replace the job. I’m going to start tomorrow learning how people make money on the weekend. Odd jobs. I’m also going to start writing books, and creating products for me to sell.
