In the context of investing and building a legacy, the language we use can have a significant impact on the outcomes we achieve. Proverbs 18:21 tells us, "Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits." This verse highlights the power of our words in shaping our lives. When we focus on wanting something, we may unintentionally adopt a mindset that centers on what we lack rather than what we desire to create. This is especially true in financial planning and legacy building, where the words we use can shape our approach to wealth and abundance.

Moreover, the principle that "prosperity and well-being are interconnected" underscores the importance of holistic financial health. Balancing risk and return, and aligning your investments with your risk tolerance and financial goals, is crucial. Investing beyond your capacity, driven by greed or fear, can lead to poor decisions and losses.

“ Fear tends to manifest itself much more quickly than greed, so volatile markets tend to be on the downside. In up markets, volatility tends to gradually decline.” — Philip Roth

While day by day the overzealous student stores up facts for future use, he who has learned to trust nature finds need for ever fewer external directions. He will discard formula after formula, until he reaches the conclusion: Let nature take its course. - Larry Bird
