Hey Reader,
⏀Your Money Under Trump – How will Trump affect your finances? Here’s a good primer of his agenda. Regardless of your political views, an anti-incumbent mentality is displacing political leaders across the globe – largely to rightward and “Strong Man” governments.
💡 Expect an extension of the 2017 tax cuts; lower corporate tax cuts;battles with the central bank regarding interest rates; higher consumer prices because of tariffs and a possible trade war with China.
⏀The Secret to Getting Ahead – I’ve never been a “schmoozer” and I have envied and resented less talented people who were able to succeed without talent. Just a bit bitter am I? Still it’s a lesson worth noting: success in life is almost entirely about relationships whether romance, work, or family. We live in an era where almost every relationship we have is being degraded or re-defined. In this insightful TED podcast, U Penn organizational psychologist Adam Grant talks about how to advance ahead by connecting with others.
💡 Don’t try to gain power (control of resources), rather build influence through status (relationships and social arbitrage). Don’t believe me? Listen to Kramer :
⏀A Moment of Reflection-
Life is not set up for you to line up all your ducks in a row before you make a move. At some point, you have to jump. Life requires this of us constantly.
– Steve Harvey
💡 Think critically, but ask yourself: What are your next 5 moves?
⏀The Meaning of the Things – Growing up, I used to think that beauty, music, morality were intrinsic parts of the universe, much like a carbon atom or hydrogen dust. Living right was a matter of perception. Now I realize that beauty does not exist in the absence of a self-aware witness. We create these elements into existence. A recent NYT perspective piece by a cosmologist highlights the tremendous power this worldview has for our daily lives.
💡 The universe’s emptiness can be a Void or your Canvas. Choose wisely.
