The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, yet we still need to cut, weed and water it.
There are many aspects of today's society that can cause each of us to not be able to enjoy our successes because we are told to expect more even when we do surpass a target.
Sometimes we reach new heights and then beat ourselves up because we could have done better. A trader can become very depressed if they only focus on what they could have made if they would have stayed in longer or gotten out earlier or some other action.
For each of us to enjoy our achievements and to continue growing, we need to set challenging goals and when we meet them, we need to congratulate ourselves and move on to new goals.
