Embrace life’s everyday graces as sacred gifts. The dangerous thing about shiny toys and material treasures is that they become your drug of choice. They bring fleeting excitement and amazing inspiration only until they become your new normal. The positive psychologists call this quirk of human behavior “hedonic adaptiation”. We enjoy the novelty of the cherished watch, adored purse or enthusiastically imagined tech device until we grow bored with it. And then we begin our next hunt, like an addict obsessed with their next fix. Things never bring sustained pleasures. As a matter of fact, I humbly suggest, it’s only in life’s freest blessings that we’ll find a joy that lasts to the end.
This is what my latest book The Wealth Money Can’t Buy is all about. Real wealth versus fake success. True winning versus spending your life climbing a mountain, only to find out at the end that it was the wrong one. You can order it now by clicking here.
