Do you hate working? I know I do. I hate knowing my financial security is in someone else's hands. I don't like getting paychecks at the end of the month. I really don't like waking up early in the morning and dragging myself to the office.

A while ago, I didn't know how to get out of this routine. I tried thinking of ways to do business, something small that I can start on my own, but everything needs capital. I'm certainly not creative enough to be making stuff on my own and selling it on ebay.

Then I found forex. And my world lit up. I spent months and months reading and learning from anything I can find online. Forex traders are so generous when it comes to sharing their knowledge and experience. After about half a year, I start my own account. I suffered. Emotions played their tricks on me. Even though I could profit in my virtual account with fake money, when it came to dealing with real money, everything changed. I started feeling fear when I'm losing, and greed when I'm winning. Bit by bit, I killed my first account.

I reevaluated myself, and studied what went wrong. I started on online journal and kept track of my own development. Now, 2 years later, I am profitable. I'm trading a very simple strategy, it's just that now, I have discipline. Discipline is what killed my account a year ago, or shall I say, the lack of it. And now having strong discipline is getting me closer to my goal of quitting my day job. Soon, I'll be trading forex from Starbucks, or the beach, or just about anywhere I want to. So if you're stuck like I was, you have a choice, and a way out. For me, it's forex. For you, it might be something else, but there's always a way out.
