Big picture thinking in life and finance

By the time summer solstice came around in 2025 a younger family member asked me what's the big deal behind summer solstice, aside from it being the longest day - like what's going on?   


I thought that was a great question, and while I knew the answer, I began looking for a picture to explain the mechanics unfolding behind the scenes - how the northern hemisphere tilts 23.5 degrees toward the sun, bringing the sun much higher in the sky from our vantage point, while folks in

the southern hemisphere experiences the opposite.   

In the process I realized how much of life and money

could be better explained if we could see things from

a very big perspective - like REALLY BIG. 
 

- Where have we been.

- Where are we now. 
- Where are we headed.
- How does it work.

This really can be helpful - To see yourself in the largest of

frames. Your meta setting.    

Because then it is easier to see the big themes and the big

trajectories playing out in your life. 

You can navigate better because you wont get lost by the trees in front of you, but rather see the whole forest from high above.

A great financial coach can help you
draw the picture.

Many happy solstices in the future.
