Revisit: Break The Rules!
Episode #271 Success does not always mean having material things, making a lot of money, and getting that feeling of significance and respect from other people. Many financially successful people are unhappy because they became exhausted hustling and working hard thinking that these things will make them happy. There are so many rules in place that are holding them back and that makes their life monotonous. The more money they make, the more they become unhappy because these rules take them farther away from the real essence of what it means to be a human being. This void cannot be filled with material things. Fill this void within by breaking the rules and giving yourself permission to experience spontaneous fun. People often feel the need to be busy all the time, thinking that having fun is a waste of time and money. They do not realize that sometimes, while having fun, more creative ideas pop up. If you bring fun and joy into more areas of your life, you will make a lot more progress. Do not allow your happiness to depend on anything or anyone. We don't need anything else outside ourselves to experience joy. We have the joy and fun inside us, we just need to learn to generate it and radiate it. In this episode, you will learn the importance of allowing yourself to experience spontaneous fun and incorporating fun into more areas of your life. __________ Hungry for more?
