8/26/2025 - Create a structure for each day that commits you to spend time on activities that energize and develop you physically; activities that push you to love and care for others; activities that stimulate your interests and make use of your talents; and activities that challenge you and move you toward bigger picture, meaningful goals. Every day should have fun time, meaningful time, energizing time, and close, loving time. All of that is hard-wired into the daily and weekly calendars to ensure that you make your well-being your overriding priority--because that is how you'll have the most energy and passion to be effective in every area of life. As I describe in my upcoming book, a key to trading success is to discover the markets, strategies, and connections to others that bring out the best in what we do. Frustrations and impulses are not the problem; the problem is that we never take the time to explore and experiment and find out what we're really good at. When we structure our time positively, we bring energy to everything we do--including our learning and our trading. As Professor Diener explains above, "Happiness is an ongoing process of fresh challenges".
