When you lose it takes twice the amount of effort to get back to the same place. For example a 50% loss of your money requires a 100% gain to get back to the same place.
This is why Warren Buffet says the number 1 rule of investing is “Don’t money.”

noiz viol8ion blog #835 – Voice in the Darkness
Sometimes in life it feels like I am lost. I am not happy or feel like I am stuck. There is a gap between who I am and who I want to be.
When times like this come there are two outcomes, two voices and two paths I can take.
The first is I can stay in this place. I can make it worse by believing that there is nothing I can do.
The second is I can make it better by believing I can. I can have trust that the universe is working in my favor. I was put in this moment to rise to the occasion. My faith is being tested and I will not break. I can pray for strength and courage. I am worthy of my dreams and I can become good enough.

noiz viol8ion blog #834 – Grasping
It is easy to get wrapped up in the past. Who I was, what I was doing, what relationships I had, my accomplishments and where I’ve been.
The past is easy to grasp because it is known. It is real and tangible. I can study and learn from it.
The future is more scary because I am completely vulnerable. I have to project who I want to be, who I want to be with and where I want to go. The future is unknown and not tangible. I can’t grasp it. It’s only a dream.
In reality the only thing real is the present. The present is the only thing you can control and truly the only thing you are able to grasp and take advantage of.

noiz viol8ion blog #833 – Better Version of Myself
The goals I set force me to become a better version of myself to achieve them. I cannot achieve any of my goals who I am today.
I must rise to the occasion. I must become more. I must do things I have never done. What got me where I am will not get me to where I want to be tomorrow.
I do not want to remain stationary. I want to grow and progress everyday. I want to reap the rewards of compound growth.
I make plans and I am prepared to be successful. Being better makes those around me better which makes me better.
I am gaining confidence and losing doubt. I faith and believe in my potential to be the very best version of myself I can be.

noiz viol8ion blog #830 – Disgust
When you hit bottom is when we begin to rise.
Sometimes you have to know where you don’t want to go before you can know where you want to go.
Commit and act to say, “I’ve had it and I’m never doing this again!”, “Enough is enough!”, “I can’t take it anymore!”
Burn the bridges and never look back.
Quit your job in a memorable way.
Burn your bad memories and don’t let them have control over you.
Get so fed up that you can’t live another moment in disgust.

A small walk around the block.
A weekly phone call to a friend or loved one.
Having a beer after work.
Having a cigarette to release.
Brushing or not brushing your teeth.
Investing or not investing a small amount of money each month.
Each of your habits compounded overtime can lead you to the life you’ve always dreamt of or a hell you never want to go.
