Life can throw curveballs the best pitchers in the world wish they could deliver. These curveballs come in many shapes, forms and fashions. Some we can swing at and some we can’t. It’s important to recognize that this is when big mistakes, financial or otherwise, are most likely to occur. Often, life asks us to just relax & let the dust settle before making any decisions.

The Retirement Rules of the Road

Knowing oneself and staying patient and nimble are beginning ingredients to pursue an extraordinary life on our own terms, no matter what is thrown our way. In an external world that is constantly competing for our attention and comparison to others, turn your focus inwards. It produces a magnet like
effect that manifests desires into reality and helps calm down emotions when major life events happen. Our goal is to attract the lifestyle we want by engaging in a purpose-filled life of variety and contrast that is well thought out, deliberately designed and continuously acted upon. The resulting feelings and actions from such foundational reflection can illuminate a path to healthy contemplation, joy, gratitude, encouragement, hope, contentment, lasting happiness and an abundant mindset.

There are few items in life more disruptive, expensive and unfulfilling than not knowing who we are, what we want and where we’re going. Emotional endurance and being in the moment is a place we come from rather than a destination to arrive at. To work towards accomplishing this feat, we’re asked to stay present, aim in our preferred direction, hold on to the future loosely, engage in life from the heart, allow serendipity to happen and expect that everything will eventually unfold as we want. Many times, something bigger and better is given to us when we soften our grip on life. Often, there’s nowhere to go and nothing to do. Relax, take a deep breath and just be.

Take care,
