Spring: Planting the Right Seeds

What does your “ideal life” look like?

Seriously, imagine it. The house. The city. The people. 

How long has it been since you allowed your mind to wander into the realm of possibility? Simply remembering what makes you happy. What you believe in. What inspires you. 

I hope it hasn’t been long. But if you’re like most of us––you’re always on the go and distracted, leaving pie-in-the-sky time as a low-rung priority.

(Another one that hurts investors.) Perhaps our propensity to oversimplify complex information to get easy answers? (Something we should keep in mind when watching the news.)
