Brain doesnt make ua smarter experience and wisdom does. Elephant has bigger brain and memories but their evolutions still slower. People still dies in the end. Peace of mind comes from internal not external.

So we all just drugs addict’s, drugs that’s our gland produces, chemical substances that affects our brains and force us to feel “emotions”. Mechanism that evolved for millions of years, same mechanism that other animals have, do right thing for survival – get some dopamine, of course it’s much complicated but it’s changes nothing. We building our entire society based on “emotions”. Be born, then give birth to your offsprings, and be “happy” feeling bunch of different hormones, and die. And even more, we can learn how to control this process, why you think masochists and similar freaks exist? You can feel any emotions from any reason you like to. All this value system working only because we believe in it, think harder, dig deeper and you gonna realize that all this it’s just a big pile of sheet.

What’s the most common winning investment strategy for a new beginner
@ann-ie4hc
September 24, 2024 at 12:15 pm
As a beginner, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. I suggest Miss Donna Patricia Hester is extremely good on that. She is really good on what she does, Now I can pay so many bills because of her help.
@Vlad-ei3bs
September 24, 2024 at 12:15 pm
This is correct, Donna’s strategy has normalized winning trades for me also and it’s a huge milestone for me looking back to how it all started.

Anxiety is fear, but an Unknown fear — once you’re into fear you’re cut off from connecting with Source information — ‘‘tis then you are operating solely from the ego. Therefore, anxiety is a friend only if you use it properly — and if you’re aware of this, then you should be able to handle the anxiety until it dissolves. After you are liberated then you can use a higher way of handling danger, you no longer need that trauma-induced anxiety which is a very unpleasant feeling.

Quality of life is about the balance between one’s expectations and one’s personal character/abilities to meet those expectations. The problem is that our expectations are constantly being antagonised by an onslaught of information from advertising, social media etc. An example is the car we buy. A car just needs to get you from a to b in an economical and comfortable manner. Yet all the advertising contrives only to play on your emotions. Hence the money we spend on a car is often disproportional to what it needs to serve. Cars swishing around mountain roads, the inference if you do not have the latest model you can not be a successful or vibrant individual etc, etc. All this keeps our expectations out of reach. Even get the latest of everything are you really happy?

07:25 Brain health is wealth’ is such a game changer! The way you connect sleep, food, and social connections to long-term cognitive health is eye-opening. We really need to prioritize our mental well-being along with physical and financial health. This makes me rethink my daily habits entirely!

Happiness to me is interacting with friends and family and exchanging thoughts and feelings, achieving goals, and supporting one another. This descriptor can be used in many ways, such as raising kids, supporting your spouse, participating in organizations like the Boy Scouts or sports teams, or a band performance. To do all of these things, we are enslaved to our work in order to pay for everything, but money in itself means nothing.

At 74 yrs old, I’d love to hear financial insightful guidance. My $450K home will be paid off in less than 3 yrs (interest 2.75%) I’ve a $535K (with no payments, by contract, till I die!) My kids are successfully comfortable.
Were I to sell them NOW, before the impending financial downturn and devaluing US dollar, I would have a gross of over a million USD. I also hold $100K in physical silver and $100K in physical US currency.
I have lost a trusted fiduciary …
Where to turn?
