“Change your thoughts and you can change your world.” is a well-known quote from Norman Vincent Peale’s book The Power of Positive Thinking. I’ve been thinking about the renewed sense of optimism and positivity that has begun to build as cities and towns across Canada begin to open up.

A less-restricted summer is an ideal time to rest and rejuvenate. Put away the screens and enjoy spending time with family and friends outdoors. And, it can help your financial strategy too.

How? Having the right outlook on life can help you on your financial path. Positive thinking is like a growth mindset, it:

• embraces challenges
• persists in the face of challenges
• learns from mistakes
• looks for lessons and inspiration from the success of others

Cultivating these practices and principles in your financial life can have a positive impact on your money and on the path to successfully pursuing your goals.

So, take your vacation, get outside, and let me know how it’s affected the way you think about your goals. I can put positive thinking into action in your strategy.
