The current presidential election has put millions of Americans in a panic. I get it. No matter who you\u2019re voting for, there\u2019s a lot of troubling news.<\/p>\n\n
And that\u2019s just the election. Throw economic and international instability into the mix, and sometimes it can feel like we\u2019re being swept along in a powerful current, headed to a destination we aren\u2019t sure we want to go to.<\/p>\n
I see it in social media, when I travel, even among my friends and neighbors. There\u2019s a groundswell of uncertainty rising about the future of our nation. Fear is taking hold.<\/p>\n\n
But just because our national future is uncertain doesn\u2019t mean our individual futures need to feel the same. We may not get the leader we want, but we can always choose to lead ourselves with wisdom and purpose.<\/p>\n
Imagine being swept away by that current of fear and suddenly realizing you have a rudder. There may be rocks and sandbars, but now you can steer your way through.<\/p>\n
What is that rudder? It\u2019s the Life Planning process my friend Daniel Harkavy and I detail in our new book, Living Forward: A Proven Plan to Stop Drifting and Get the Life You Want<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n\t\t
