The Financial Independence Show

Election Aftermath, Controlling Your Controllables, and Giving Thanks


Listen Later

In this episode, Cody and Justin discuss what they’re thankful for and the importance of focusing on what you can control.

We recorded this episode shortly after Election Day.

Elections leave a lot of people feeling defeated and a lot of people feeling like they’ve won.

The reality is that neither is true.

You are the most critical variable in your financial independence journey, regardless of who’s sitting in the Oval Office.

The key is to focus on what you can control and to appreciate the privilege that you have.

Even if things don’t seem rosy, the hardest experiences often shape us the most and transform us into better versions of ourselves.

We hope this inspires you to evaluate your life, appreciate your advantages, spend some time in gratitude, and get inspired for your next chapter in life.
