I could write a book on this topic, but for the sake of brevity I will say that whether your current circumstances are a result of your choices and actions or someone else’s, you need to take responsibility for your current circumstances - and make a firm commitment to changing them.
Something I learnt early in my journey was that if you don’t commit to doing whatever it takes to succeed, then you will more than likely fall short.
There is simply nothing I know of that is both life changing and incredibly valuable that comes easily, and doesn’t require hard work and commitment. As time goes on, information is becoming easier and cheaper to access. We are connected to people and resources in ways that are a complete change to how things were in the not too distant past, but what hasn’t changed is the work required to apply this learning and developing the skills to be successful.
You may have better or more effective learning tools than many others have or have had in the past, or have a more profitable system than most others ever trade with, but they won’t of themselves make you a great trader.
I believe that it is your ability to commit to being a great trader and then taking the actions that will bring it about which will determine your success.
You can search out shortcuts and ways to make things easier, but at the end of the day you can’t run from hard work where it is required.
