Optimism is a key factor not only for mental stability, but also overcoming FUD. I’m not referring to just blind optimism where there’s no research in your investments, that’s hope. I’m talking about that confidence of your own knowledge and decision. FUD can come in many forms. It can be a hazing experience so to speak for new investors as other players may be disgruntled with their experience, or maybe a strategy to increase individual profits, but no amount of uncertainty should knock you off of your square. I enjoy the obstacles and battles in this financial game, as I see them as training. Molding to make me that much sharper with my funds. It is an exciting, almost magical, feeling when money is able to be obtained from moving it around.
Knowing the skies aren’t dark forever is also a rewarding feeling. The sun always comes back to shine. Being optimistic is akin to being very patient. Knowing that end goal and enjoying the journey on the way. Life in general can give you many reasons not to want to be happy, but it is scientifically easier to smile. Loss or gain, everything is a learning experience to make you that much better.
