In an age of instant gratification, we are drawn to the illusion of quick fixes, often framed by a parade of success stories — whether on stage at motivational seminars or, more commonly, scrolling through social media. These narratives promise effortless fulfillment, yet they are ultimately a gamble. True stability and resilience come not from fleeting trends but from rising above them, seeking what is authentic and enduring. This path requires an uncommon commitment to self-awareness and introspection — questioning our beliefs and thoughtfully considering our actions.

Is it better to cut costs, to live simply, and minimally — so to relieve the stress of needing to work harder, or to earn more money? Or, is it better to shift the focus to finding higher paying work, or starting, developing and/or growing your business — and thus, ideally, having earnings such that your lifestyle isn’t curbed or affected by money anymore?
If you’ve achieved massive success in the capitalism of the modern world, you’re probably ready to give away 95% of all future earnings, right?
It’s very hard work to maintain the illusion. You’ll work a labor job, or office job, build a business that someone else taught you about in a book or seminar, or buy and sell real estate — all of which is designed around building material security and the traditional means by which our world still operates to this day. What you’re also readily aware of, is that all of these external gains and acquisitions can be taken from you at any moment. It happens all the time with fires, accidents, theft, market corrections and crashes, recessions, lawsuits, and any number of unpredictable economic conditions.
Walk on. You will forever attract opportunities for expansion, wisdom and growth.
