The Power of Perspective: Navigating Uncertainty in Financial Success

I want to talk about perspective today and how it can literally alter your reality and make or break your financial success. This may get a little bit out there but for those of you that have been following, you know I study cycles and how time and price come together.

I was reading an article this morning on how sentiment has become distorted and more people are uncertain about markets than in the past. The author talked about how they wanted to go back to the good ole days of the market where there was less uncertainty and times were good. He was suggesting that this time was different and we will see more volatility in the years to come. Well, let me tell you why this time is not different and uncertainty is a key aspect as we approach the peak of the cycle.

Late last night going down the rabbit hole, I found something very interesting on the topic of time. Without sounding too radical, basically this person’s work suggests that based on natural laws, we will be seeing an intersection in time this November 8 and 9th. During this time reality will literally cross into two paths. Depending on how you see the world and whats going on will determine what path you go down. Now, this is not something to be taken lightly as it suggests that you can choose your reality going forward.

But what it also tells us is that we will start experiencing increasing polarity between these separate realities. Some people will be living in one reality while the rest that didn’t wake up will be living in a completely different reality. What this means is that people living in another reality from you will literally not be able to comprehend what you are saying because you are on a different frequency. You exist, you are a person in their world but they literally cannot see from your perspective because they are in another reality.

Great, but what am I getting at? I don’t know about you but this phenomenon seems to be all too true in our day to day lives. Consider you have a positive outlook on life, you are healthy, have a career you enjoy, you don’t watch garbage tv and media propaganda, you don’t worry so much about who is doing what on the other side of the world, you’re focused on yourself and how you can be better and contribute to your direct environment. You look at markets and prices are up 30% on the year so you see opportunity and make money.

Conversely, you have another person who has not chosen this path. They watch the 24 hour news machine, they get angry about who did what to someone they don’t even know. They get mad listening and reading about the political system, the way the government has screwed them and their family. They look at the market and it looks like a ticking time bomb because everything they hear on the news is bad. Rising interest rates, government deficits, soaring house prices, and impending recession cast a shadow over their perspective.

Are you getting the picture because this is what I am experiencing first hand. Many people are choosing to see the bad in life and are therefore living in a different reality where they cannot comprehend a more positive outlook. They live in a world where the uncertainties are too much to bear. The government is after them, WW3 is on the horizon and they will never get ahead due to high rates and inflation.

Others are choosing to take a higher road. They are reading between the lines and ignoring the propaganda designed to keep them in fear. They look for positive headlines that show we are in a major boom and not a recession. They look at prices and see they are going up and not reflecting the bearish sentiment. They see the uncertainties and know that life is full of them but time is universal and just as sure as the sun will rise and set the cycle will find a way to chug on.

Now, I’m not suggesting these people are some hippie attitude people ignorant of the issues taking place around the world. What I am saying is these people choose not to live in fear and seek the truth of the situation at hand.

The undeniable truth is that the economy is ALWAYS headed for a recession or a boom. The difference is TIME. As we push further into the 2020’s I believe the uncertainties around the world are only going to increase. It will be very hard for some people to understand and keep a level head. But if you know the nature of the cycle as we approach the end of it, this is exactly what we can expect. No matter how much the talking heads want to peddle fear, asset prices are telling us the truth about the underlying economy. (Hint: they are going up not into a recession)

Markets will climb a wall of worry and trust me there will be plenty to worry about. But if you peel back the curtain and pay attention to what is actually going on underneath the surface you will see that a universal force is pulling the strings and pushing this cycle to completion as it always has.

You have a very important choice to make that could literally determine your financial future among other things. What perspective will you choose to take? What outlook will you have on life? Signs of a boom are all around us but so are signs of a bust. Thankfully, we have price and time tell us which one is correct and which one is a false reality.
