Its very interesting to me that you have achieved the financial success that many dream of, which could allow you to retire and do what the heck you like for the rest of your life. But somehow it didn't bring total happiness, so you have actively gone on a mission to seek that out.

Maybe that is a warning sign for many people aspiring to make money, that even fully loaded you still have to deal with your own brain. Knowing how your own brain works and how to make yourself happy is a very important skill.




Couldn't have said it better myself, that's exactly been my experience and what I'd like to share with others both experientially in sessions and through my writing. And I'm having a lot more fun just being with all aspects of life from a human connection perspective leaving the striving, money, etc., on the side (even though it's hard and creeps back in).


To quote Rodney Dangerfield when asked if becoming successful has made life better: "You've still got the same head"
