For some reason, this really resonated with me! In fact, I felt this strange surge of emotion when I read it. I even came back to it after reading everything else and I still caused the same weird feeling for me.

I'm not sure if this is really my own purpose or not, but there's something about it that feels right.

Now, here's my thing... I've always wanted to be a full time investor/trader. I'd like to treat stock trading as a business, and would love to do this more than any other type of business I've tried. I'm certainly not ready for this yet because I have a lot of learning to do before I would be able to.

But, how does one reconcile the desire to be a stock trader with having a life purpose that really adds value and helps other people? I want to do those things, but I'm not sure how that fits with trading the markets. For a trader to make money, someone else loses money.
