DON'T EVER FEAR OF MISSING OUT. IT'S A DISORDER.

DON'T EVER FEAR OF MISSING OUT. IT'S A DISORDER.

Absolute fortunes have been lost, due to FOMO. Don't get it. Restrain yourself. If you're worried you're missing exciting, once-in-a-lifetime opportunities, then it's time to get rid of this anxiety once and for all, because it could ruin you. Just say NO to this typical human response. Keep your feet on the ground.

When euphoria reigns, you could lose your good judgment. Don't adopt the behaviours of the people around you. Herd behaviour leads to financial catastrophe. Focus instead on your own individual feelings, which may be very different, when everyone seems to be losing their mind.

Just train your mind to overcome FOMO, by doing something, that would distract you from this disorder. Become creative. Don't listen to the songs of seduction, because you will be led off course and create a sense of impending doom. It could be the end, not the beginning, of life as you've known it. 

The dangers of temptation have to be faced head-on. The only way to control these, is to become a master in scepticism. Become a contrarian, despite all the pressures. It could save you from a lot of grief. Don't try to imitate others. You'll never become like the others anyway, because you have a different destiny, as determined by your maker. That's why you need to put in earplugs and wear sunglasses in order to protect yourself from any damage to your financial well-being.
