It can be painful to realize we're not in control.

And our investments are particularly adept at revealing this reality.

If you haven't noticed this time, kudos to you, you won't find a more accessible or powerful investing skill than intentional (even unintentional!) ignorance.

Feel free to stop reading here and keep living life.

If you have noticed, then it's served as a helpful reminder of why we do what we do.

Sometimes it seems overkill to be so careful with cash.

Or to start the year by understanding our entire financial life with a few colors and bars.

Or to talk about all the other parts of our financial life that are more in our control and add all the color to life.

But then uncertainty begins to connect the dots for us.

We do these things, because they prepare us for the seasons where it's better to look away for a moment than to stare.

Better to be still than make a regrettable move.

Better to see it as a workout making us stronger for the next one than a hole leaking water out of our bucket.
