Some of the most profound truths are those, once revealed, that seem self-evident. And that may also be the most potent gift possessed by the greatest writers and thinkers—the ability to reveal something we already know with such clarity that we can act on it. One of my favorite contemporary thinkers, Shane Parrish, recently shared a quote from one of the greatest writers of (at least) the 20th century, C. S. Lewis, that can be a helpful guide in any number of pursuits, especially financial wellness. Implicit in his counsel is the answer to the question, “How do we fix…
