I already know we are all doing our best to manage the “elephant in the room”, COVID-19! So, I will say prayers and send good will to everyone.
As I thought about this month’s ChewsView’s I looked at my financial lifestyle library and realized I want to offer some positive thoughts we can all successfully use as we find a new way to walk around our homes.
As much as I am a numbers/financial kind of dude, my parents always reminded me of the importance of staying connected with my spirit and listening to my environment. It’s actually made me a better advisor and financial lifestyle professional.
These are strange times and I want to help your family with some easy tools to stay grounded whenever you feel afraid or anxious. The truth is that in all this uncertainty in the world, we forget that life is always uncertain.
Change is the only thing we can rely on, and that can be a powerful thing. I believe we can manage ourselves better than trying to control the changes around us. Why? Because we 2-leggers are adaptable.
We may not be in total control of this virus, we may not be in total control of the stability of the economy (trust me I am super busy helping clients stay calm about their money and assets right now), but we are in control of our reaction to those things.
We have the power to decide whether fear takes over or not. We have the power to let it become part of our everyday lives, or not. Do not get me wrong, I fully understand each of us has a different plight and set of circumstances, but know this; I may not know you, but I understand you…because of where I come from.
