You are absolutely right. You're describing the process of self-sabatage. It is your fear of being successful, being rich, being important, being BRILLIANT that's stopping you.
If you became ultra successful at your day-trading, and earned 50 Million Dollars in the next 12 months, bought a 12,000 square foot home with a swimming pool and drove a $150,000 car, and wore a $30,000 Rolex, what would people think!
I'm not saying those are "worthy" things to do with money, and I'm not saying they are not. I'm saying that there is a lot of "fear" based thinking associated with wealth. What will people think? How will they judge you? What will your friends say? How will your parents feel? All these mixed emotions come up. It takes courage to dive into this line of thinking and transcend all that, and it takes courage to be TRULY COMFORTABLE with being wealthy.
