It’s funny how markets change people.
At the start of the journey, everyone talks about peaks, freedom, legacy, life-changing wins. The energy is loud, conviction is high, and risk feels justified because the vision is bigger than the fear.
Then drawdowns happen.
And suddenly the same people who wanted mountains start praying for the base camp.
“Just breakeven and I’m out.”
But if breakeven was always the destination… why start the climb at all?
Nobody willingly chooses discomfort, volatility, and sleepless nights just to end where they began. We started because something inside us believed there was more on the other side of uncertainty.
The market doesn’t just move prices.
It reveals motives.
Some will exit at breakeven and feel peace.
Others will sit through the storm, evolve, and eventually witness views most people never experience.
Both are human.
But only one keeps the original dream alive.
