Friends - Ask yourself - What would you be so passionate about doing - that you would do it for 10 years without earning a single rupee?
It is crucial to have a vision that goes beyond money and profits. Don’t begin anything in life with the objective to earn money.
Do what you are passionate about OR find passion in what you are doing - and as you will do it well, the money will follow.
Every time you want to do something - Keep asking why???
Ask yourself what you are pursuing in life: buying a home? getting married? Once you have the answers, ask why again. Why do you want to buy a house? Why do you want to get married?
Eventually, everyone ends up with the same answer about what they pursue in life: happiness.
What makes you Happy???
1. Perceived control
2. Perceived progress
3. Connectiveness
4. Meaning (being part of something bigger than yourself)
What is Happiness???
Happiness is - pleasure, engagement and meaning.
Most people start looking for the first one, hoping to then be able to reach the others, which is the wrong way to go.
- Pleasure is for example about buying new things. It works well, but only as long as you can sustain it.
- Engagement is about feeling passionate about what you are doing. It works better than pleasure, but is not sustainable either.
- Meaning is about finding in life what provides happiness in the long term. Finding meaning creates a long-lasting feeling of happiness.
Friends - Don’t chase the money – It will run away…
Chase a DREAM – EXPERIENCE the life – BE PASSIONATE about whatever you are doing – MONEY will follow…
