Every condition reverse itself (IM 322)

..... and tries to become normal.

That's the nature's law...

What goes down will rise and what rises will fall trying to come to normalcy. Same applies in investing as well: oversold stocks will rise and overbought stocks will fall trying to become neutral.

Problem and the cause of problem (IM 321)

Don't confuse the cause of problem with real problem.

A company going out of business is not a problem; it is the cause or probably the result of the problem. The real problem might be not offering proper service to client or not having the great products or it might be something else.

So figuring out the real problem and the cause of problem is important, but what is more important is not confusing one for another.

Who we're living for? (IM 320)

The answer to this question will bring everything into perspective. This answer will change the decisions we make every single day. It is the powerful source of motivation that drives us toward our purpose.

We know we are all living for ourselves. But why are we worried about other people's opinions? Why are we demotivated by others’ criticism?

It’s because we don’t have a clear and honest answer to this question. The question “Who we’re living for?” will change our lives if we have an honest answer.

Flexibility and self-accountability (IM 319)

These two are among the most important qualities for succeeding in life.

Flexibility allows us to accept reality and remain open to learning—from other people, from experience, and from situations we did not expect. It keeps us from becoming rigid, defensive, or trapped inside our own limited view.

Self-accountability means taking responsibility for our failures, our choices, and our results. Instead of blaming circumstances or other people, we acknowledge what is ours and learn from it. That is how failure becomes useful rather than defeating.

Both flexibility and self-accountability are crucial. One keeps us open to correction, and the other keeps us honest about our part in the outcome. Together, they help us grow, improve, and move forward with greater clarity.

Goals and desires (IM 318)

There is an important difference between goals and desires, even though people often confuse the two. A goal is something meaningful that requires commitment, sacrifice, and direction. A desire, on the other hand, is often immediate. It is something we want in the moment, whether or not it serves the larger path we claim to care about. When these two are confused, life becomes scattered.

Goals usually ask something from us. They demand patience, discipline, and the willingness to delay comfort. Desires usually ask for quick satisfaction. They pull attention toward what feels good now, even when it weakens what matters later. This is why many people fail not because they lack dreams, but because they let passing desires interrupt the work their deeper goals require.

The problem is not that desire exists. Desire is part of being human. The problem begins when we allow every want to carry the same weight as a true aim. If we do not distinguish between what is essential and what is merely tempting, we end up feeding impulses while neglecting purpose. In that confusion, progress becomes difficult.

A clear life requires separation. We should ask ourselves: Is this something I truly need to pursue, or is it simply something I want right now? That question alone can prevent many distractions. Goals build a future. Desires, when left unmanaged, often consume the energy that future requires. So we should not confuse goals with desires. One gives direction to life; the other can easily pull it away.

Riding the wave (IM 317)

Things in life happens in waves. There are many options along the journey. Nobody knows which one is the right wave to step in.

So, we need to ride the waves that comes along our way and figure out which one gave most value to us. Exploring all the path and determining the best path is in our control, everything else is just not.

How it works? (IM#316)

According to Ray Dalio - personal evolutionary process occurs in 5 steps.

Goals

Problems

Diagnosis

Design and

Doing

First, we go to pick our goals This will determine our direction. Then we encounter problems. This problem is the seed of lessons that we need to learn from. So to do that, we have to diagnose the problem, and design a plan to solve it.

Finally, after diagnosing and designing the plan to solve the problems arising from our journey comes the doing part which is crucial. This gives us the result which will show our way.

Our battle (IM#315)

We all have our own battle that we need to fight. But most of our battle is with our mind. It's about making our mind right.

We all struggle with different things when we ignore that battle. A bright day come even from the darkness when we start to acknowledge this battle. Even from the failure or loss we gain something. But to sense that our mindset should be right.

This battle is tough but it doesn't mean it's impossible...

P.S: These days are important in the history of trading. Dow is fluctuating by 350 points every week signaling for a big recession. But this is a real time to read the trend, learn and experience the market. Again it is battle of making our mind right.

Positivity is everywhere (IM#314)

Positivity is everywhere if we just have time to stop, listen and learn.

Even the tiny and trivial things that exist in nature has something very important lesson to teach. For an instance, we can learn patience by seeing and adapting the pace of nature and its really important.
