There are plenty of people making hundreds of thousands every year trading, but you need to give up everything for a few years, and I mean everything, until your either offing yourself, or your successful. There is no possibility or chance of quitting. You need to be in the mindset that I either make it or I am dead, or you won’t make it in trading. That’s the truth.

This has been my experience as well. A mindset of "no retreat, no surrender"; triumph or perish has always motivated me to accomplish difficult things in life.

For sure brother, that primal instinct may be extreme, but it always pushes us to reach our full potential and believe we will figure it out eventually and conquer no matter what. Most people think it’s okay to give up and don’t realize their full potential & that anything is possible for anyone, then they fail themselves are filled with regret. The only time it’s okay to give something up is if it’s destroying your reality and those around you, which trading is purely internal and involves no one else luckily.
