  • 216 - Gratitude vs. Cultivating Contentment - Thanksgiving Special Episode

    Topics Covered:

    his week we recorded a special episode to set the stage for your 2022 vision, and how what you are grateful for is a great place to "look" for what you want more of in the future.

    Today we ask you to consider not just the things you are grateful for, but to ask yourself this, "How do I make sure that the things that I'm grateful for continue to manifest in my life?".

    We discuss the difference between being grateful for things as they occur in our life (a reactive response to the present) versus cultivating contentment (proactively aiming for the life we aspire to live). In other words, when we cultivate contentment we manifest, envision, and quantify exactly what it is that would lead us to live a good life.

    We wish you and your family a wonderful, restful, and renewing holiday season! Happy Thanksgiving.

About More Than Commas

From the publisher's feed

Join Sound Financial Group CEO Paul Adams and President Cory Shepherd every week, as they help you Design and Build a Good Life™. Through the information provided on this podcast, we give you the ability to do this yourself. Why do we need to do this? Because every other media you're going to engage in has a vested interest in capturing your mindshare, and in having you spend your surplus, rather than you caring for your financial future. Your financial future is inevitable and uncertain. The only question is, will you have a Good Life? No one has one by default, only by design. Most of the financial podcasts out there can be valuable, though you will notice that many of them are from someone who is unlicensed. This podcast is unique in that it is led and hosted by licensed financial advisors who have been in the industry for nearly 2 decades, hence the disclosure below and in the description attached to each our episode.
