An example of this type of mindset is setting a goal such as making a certain dollar amount from your investing or trading.
The goal should be about attaining that dollar amount from the result of specific behavior - the behavior is the goal - not the dollar amount.
And when you attach a powerful emotion to your behavior, the odds of your hitting your goals change to greatly in your favor.
You can achieve the success you imagine if you want to - it comes down to relative strength.
The question becomes "are you going to be remain uncomfortable sitting in your current dirty diaper getting the results you think you don't want," or "are you going to be uncomfortable making the changes you want?"
You get to choose what type of discomfort you want in your life.
"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom." - Anaïs Nin
