The section about "the stock next door" stood out to me most. I think that's something people experience well beyond trading. It's easy to become frustrated when your own plan is working simply because someone else's appears to be working faster. One thing I'd add is that sitting tight can be both wisdom and stubbornness depending on the situation. The challenge isn't just patience, it's knowing whether you're trusting a well-defined process or simply refusing to change your mind. That's where self-awareness becomes just as important as conviction.

Thanks for the comment! Yeah, FOMO comes in many shapes and sizes.
What great insight on the stubbornness element - that is so true! You have to be willing to change your mind when the facts change. Great callout!
