commercial servo
One of the most amazing books I have ever read is called Psycho-Cybernetics, written by Maxwell Maltz and originally published in 1960.
One thing he talks about is servos. Basically, in my interpretation of this, servo is synonymous with ‘subconscious mind’ or ‘higher self’ or ‘infinite intelligence’ if you will. This has a HUGE relationship to trade and investment.
Maltz describes that there are 2 types of servomechanisms. One is where the objective or goal is known. This is like a guided missile heading towards its programmed target. The objective is clear and known.
The second is when the target is not known, but is believed to exist. This is like Edison inventing the light bulb, or someone inventing something that didn’t exist before.
Having more than one unknown target (or less tangible or subjective), requires much more of something. That is, the person must have FAITH that the goal exists (or will exist) and that he CAN achieve it.
For this second type of goal, you either have faith that the goal exists and believe that you CAN achieve it, or after a few failed attempts to reach your goal, it’s easy to give up.
Looking at this, it becomes clear to me that having an objective and tangible goal is easier to achieve. Because in these cases you have PROOF that something has been achieved and that YOU can achieve it.
However, in most cases, for most people, achieving proficiency and then mastery of trade and investment falls more into the second type of goal. So, to increase your chances of success and your strength to keep going when you hit setbacks, you need to turn your subjective goal INTO an objective goal.
If you STRONGLY BELIEVE that something exists, like trading domain for YOU, then you won’t give up so EASILY and your chances of success are many times higher.
With a lack of a firm belief in yourself and how ‘realistic’ the goal is for you, it’s all too easy to give up when you run into difficulties or setbacks.
In trading and investing, a person only KNOWS that he/she will become a profitable trader IF HE/SHE BELIEVES HE/SHE CAN BE. They know in their minds that there are others out there doing it, living the dream of consistently making money in the markets. However, for many new people, they really don’t believe THEY can do it.
And if there is any doubt, then those NATURAL setbacks and difficulties that may occur will be allowed to have a more negative impact because without faith it is much easier to give up.
When your goal isn’t really clear/visible, it’s easy to throw in the towel. Without a clear/visible goal that you think you can achieve, one logically begins to ask “why go through all this pain when I can’t do this anyway?”
So how do you get faith and belief? People all the time say that they BELIEVE and have FAITH, but they don’t do it in their FOUNDATION… it’s really just a verbiage.
How do you get it into your core? You have to have a strong image of yourself and the identity of someone who is achieving what you want to achieve.
Start by choosing what you want to be, have and do.
Next, create the FEELINGS in yourself that you have already achieved your goal.
Keep doing that, day after day, really use your 5 senses, how do you see this successful person? what do you hear What do you smell? What do you taste? What do you feel? This could be the type of clothes he wears, the food he eats, the smell of the beach or the mountains or the cart of a peddler from the Far East… let his imagination take you there.
Stick to it consistently, day after day, and you’ll be amazed at the changes that can begin to form in your life.
