The Ultimate Luxury: Peace of Mind
by Cynthia Calderon, Partner at Transcend Wealth Partners
We all seek “peace of mind," but what does that really mean? My observation is that each of us yearn for something different depending on who we are or what our past experiences have been. For some, it might mean financial security, for others it might mean stability, safety, consistency or continuity, and for still others it could mean freedom or flexibility.
However we each may define peace of mind, we know its opposite is a fear. I was reminded recently that a helpful acronym to dismantle fearful thoughts and feelings is that FEAR stands for: False Expectations Appearing Real. When we are so worried about a certain negative outcome transpiring, we convince ourselves that this bad result is inevitable. But that isn’t true. Until a result arrives, we can’t know what it will be.
Getting comfortable with the fact that you cannot predict the future plays a significant role in releasing fear and inviting in peace of mind. Life is uncertain, so dependable relationships, I believe, are critical to helping us navigate the unknown. This may mean your relationship with yourself, your Higher Power or other people.
Here are some questions to help you get started:
What enables your ability to trust or “let go”?
When do you feel most empowered to make decisions?
What experiences elevate your level of worry or anxiety?
What actions can you take to reduce your level of worry or anxiety?
Everyone has their own unique relationship to fear and their own path towards peace of mind. At Transcend Wealth Partners, we strive to alleviate your worries and support your peace of mind through the way in which we provide our services.
At Transcend, we do not invest your money. In fact, most of our clients manage their own investments which is something they enjoy doing. With that piece of the puzzle off the table, we develop a relationship with you centered around your specific needs. We tailor our services to suit your preferred communication-style, the amount of information or transparency you desire, your ideal frequency of contact and so on.
Our goal is to empower you with the ability to make confident, informed decisions about your financial well-being by overseeing all the daily demands and complex planning involved with substantial wealth. We strive to contribute to your peace of mind by being your trusted partner in managing the complexities of your wealth.
