A critical life lesson

I nearly had to die to learn this. One of the most terrible feelings in the world is to arrive at a long sought after financial goal and find that it pretty much doesnt mean anything. You go on the next day just as you had the day before. So many people think that they want the big house, the ferrari, the million $$ trading account and spare cash in the bank. They don't want any of those things in reality, rather they want the feelings they associate with those things. The thing is, if you can ID the feelings and find legit ways to generate them then the financial stuff comes pretty easily.

Brandon, the essence or feeling is really what we're after. The feeling of financial freedom, being able to do whatever we want to.

I always come back to what Eckhart Tolle says - it's not worth going attaining goal if you're going to pollute the planet while doing it.
