When it first shoots up out of the earth, we don't condemn it as immature and underdeveloped; nor do we criticize the buds for not being open when they appear. We stand in wonder at the process taking place and give the plant the care it needs at each stage of its development. The rose is a rose from the time it is a seed to the time it dies. Within it, at all times, it contains its whole potential. It seems to be constantly in the process of change; yet at each state, at each moment, it is perfectly all right as it is.” —Timothy Gallwey [1] I love this excerpt because it captures my thoughts for this week's email. Sometimes, we make mistakes and that's perfectly normal. What's not right is judging our whole lives based on the mistakes we've made. I love the excerpt above by Timothy Gallwey because it shares the right perspective for handling life or money mistakes. Even when we make mistakes, we should never stop seeing ourselves as work in progress and constantly moving in the direction of our dreams. Life can be tough and set-backs can be discouraging but when you think of growth, think about the seasons when the rose plant loses all its flowers. It doesn't stop being a rose plant. However, you need to give each stage of your journey they care it requires. Care, in terms of getting the right knowledge, building the right skill set, nurturing discipline, and keeping yourself accountable The rose seed never stops growing. It is constantly seeking to get to the next level. Every day it is moving forward This week on the millennial investor series, I share my perspective on questions from subscribers like yourself.
