The Headwinds vs. Tailwinds Asymmetry

People tend to dwell on the obstacles (headwinds) they face and discount the advantages (tailwinds) they experience in their lives.

This bias may cause overreactions to market downturns (headwinds) while underestimating steady gains (tailwinds), disrupting long-term financial plans.

Appreciating the tailwinds in our lives can improve well-being and help maintain a balanced perspective, especially in financial decision-making.
