Re: Just One of Those Days

zdo,

Thanks for kickin' it up a notch. It's good to get the BS out of the way and start moving forward.

For the record, I don't think I used any battle analogies, beyond maybe word choice. From my perspective, anyone who compares trading or business to war hasn't been to war.

Very true that one should question all assumptions. I've done that in my life outside trading and discovered how many limitations we put on ourselves without even realizing it. Working within the limits of other people's metaphors in the markets will certainly limit potential.

I appreciate the recommendation for Vipassana meditation. It seems like all roads point to meditation. I am currently reading about another branch of Bhuddism based meditation. Vipassana may provide a more direct approach that is less esoteric.

Great input! Thanks,

Bam-Bam
