	For sure Reaver, Just the moment you allow someone to influence you against what you think is right, you lose that confidence in yourself that inspires courage and carries with it all the forces which courage creates. Just the moment you begin to swerve in your plan you begin to carry out another's thought and not your own. You become the directed and not the director. You forsake the courage and resolution of your own mind, and you therefore lack the very forces that you need to sustain and carry out your work. Instead of being self-reliant you become timid and this invites failure. When you permit yourself to be influenced from your plan by another, you are unable to judge as you should, because you have allowed another's influence to deprive you of your courage and determination without absorbing any of his in return so you are in much the same predicament, as you would be in if you turned over all your worldly possessions to another without getting "value received." No more chat rooms or gurus' for me. I have realized the same that self education and immersion into the abyss and darkness of the unknown is where my second coming will emerge, with wisdom that translates into a self expression that contains confidence and trust in my own judgments that leads me toward my vision, becoming a master trader. Read Kiev's book "Trading to Win." Screen time and years of playing in the trading sandbox, I will grow up. How else could it be? aint no help outside the self. Seek it outside and this is from doubt of self. Develop confidence and self trust. The Higher self never distrusts. Ya get there alone. Trader X said "We are dancing with lions when trading. Most successful traders say that Survival is the first key to success. Stop searching and start focusing". And also "In the final analysis, it’s not about money; it’s about evolving. Those who don’t are food for those who do. Sooner or later everyone gets a chance to be both. Just do yourself a favor and never stop evolving. I would like to meet you. Otherwise, I will eat you."

Great post! I am going to have to check that book out! See everyone I am buying a book, for merely for insight to add to what I already have in my head from ny own understanding and studying.
