Stop to wonder....

Life is ever so busy, always flowing..so much that people hardly stop to think back how far they have travelled. I happen to think about this especially regarding my career wise.

5 Years back I was struggling to learn how to trade..working partime basis to realise my naive dream of trading forex for a living...earning a pitiful amount of around $1k a month. The struggling never seem to end. I was dreaming of a job called a trader- those people working behind those platforms that I was trying to learn to trade on.... how nice I imagine it must be to be working with trades everyday.

5 Year down the road. I am working behind those platforms where I used to struggle to trade on. I am in fact in charge of the trading desk now with 3 people under me...with me making many trading decisions regarding client's trades fate earning many times over.
.
If I didn't stop to think, I may not have realised I have realised at least 1 dream. It wasn't easy. I was thinking what I did to achieve this.... I cant put a single reason to it. It wasnt one thing I did, and it certainly not because of the way I dress or look. It was just a continous learning of the industry, process of extending/ sharpening my skills and knowledge , exposure to all kind of readings and platform experience from all corners. But I also attribute to luck..because I have been down on my luck before so I know the difference.

It is good to reflect and at least give some gratitude. Humans always find fault with what they have..I have my share of grudges now about life but if the current package was given to me 5 years back, it would have been a miracle. Our perpective is always clouded with complaints , hence it is wise to stop and be grateful for many things.
