"A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step."
Lao-tzu, The Way of Lao-tzu
According to quotationspage.com:
Although [the above] is the popular form of this quotation, a more correct translation from the original Chinese would be
"The journey of a thousand miles begins beneath one's feet."
Rather than emphasizing the first step, Lau Tzu regarded action as something that arises naturally from stillness. Another potential phrasing would be "Even the longest journey must begin where you stand."
And so begins my journey of journaling with an audience.
My first intention is to journal consistently and see what comes of it. Like many would-be traders I have tons of smarts, screen time and scars.
I've been around this game long enough to see that the only thing between me and success is less about figuring things out, and more about letting go of things.
Thank you to Big Mike for creating the space for this.
