Well, at present we have four rescue cats and that makes for a full house. Every morning they wake me up (around 4 AM), and I start every morning by petting them, feeding them, and cleaning up their litter. I'm a firm believer that we set the tone for our day by what we do at the start of the day. I don't start by looking at market quotes, news, emails, or chats. I start by loving and serving those I love.
Actions, repeated, transform us: We become what we do.
Here are three trading lessons I've learned from our cats over the years:
- We can overcome even the greatest adversity by making use of the strengths we have and finding something in our environment that engages us: The story of Mali
- If we want to change a negative pattern in our thinking, feeling, or acting, we need to tap into a motivation greater than the one that underlies our problems: The story of Naomi
- We don't create our opportunities. We put everything of ourselves out there, and opportunity finds us: The story of Mia
Once we can put our egos aside, we can learn from everything in life--even humble cats.
