Thanks for sharing this perspective. I've found balance by reducing desires overtime and wanting to still contribute and do something in the world - so I enjoyed this read!
Glad you enjoyed! And yes there is far too much dialogue about sacrificing everything for success but I don’t think there’s enough discussion on being happy along the journey. There is no finite place of ‘success achieved’ so the idea of prioritising happiness later never made sense to me.
Completely agree, the naval quote about you can be happy or successful you just have to choose one - seems to be the prevailing philosophy in finance/tech
I've always found the framing of this as a strict dichotomy unsatisfying. Of *course* opportunity shows up when you're happily pushing.
Watch the movie 'Being There' - you'll like it and relates to this post.
