As I think back...
During my years as a financial analyst and advisor, I would often ask clients a simple question:
“What is your most valuable asset?”
Almost every answer was material. Money. Homes. Businesses. Portfolios.
Very few ever answered: their health or their time.
And yet without either of those, none of the material things are even possible.
The older I get, the more I realize the market can quietly consume both if you let it. Not just money, but years of your life through stress, waiting, chasing and attachment.
Success still matters to me. Ambition still matters. But I think wisdom is learning the difference between building a life and spending your life endlessly waiting for one position, one moment or one number to finally make you feel complete.
