I find that sometimes just letting my mind wander while on a hike or even sitting calmly in a room without distractions, allows my mind to freely think and plan my next moves or come up with business ideas. Thanks for the great insights.

    After a terrible 2022, shell-shocked financial backers have a lot to think about and losses to recover from. An expansion report and a wealth of other data did little to alter assumptions that the Central bank would likely keep raising interest rates regardless of whether the economy slows down. This implies that portfolios will experience more losses during the first quarter of 2023. I'm currently at a crossroads deciding whether to exchange my $250k security/stock portfolio; how might the continuous market volatility work to my advantage?

    One thing that always makes me revert back to ground zero is when my motivation/spark is over, and I believe it's because I would forget "why" I'm doing what I'm doing in the first place. Routines do get boring, even though I would tell myself "I could eat this for the rest of my life" and a month later I'm turned off by it. And the "why" aspect of it isn't that I'm trying to form habits, but I'm trying to form an identity, and I'm realizing how hard it is to go against the tide day after day-night after night, of doing things I don't want to, repeatedly, daily, whether I want to or not. It's a job. You can't just call off sick because if you do, and you'll get a day off or two, you can't get more days off for a while, and us being f**ked up creatures of "habit", we'd rather get another day off than grind through the pain. It's extremely difficult for those starting this as an old dog, even middle age, even in 30s. Personally, I would even tell myself that I don't care about anything, I don't need to succeed, I don't need money, I can live in a car in the woods for the rest of my life. What's the point in all of this? That's my problem.

      You have to really want the objective internally ... Not just because the society at large wants you to do it.
      It has to be filling an emotional void in you.
      Meaning if the emotion is not there, you have to create it first ... For example: ... Simply trying to compete with someone else and believing you are better than them can be a big motivator ... But you must really get into it and be disgusted with yourself if the other person beats you.

    I'm a millionaire and I'm not one bit happier now than I was 20 years ago. Being a millionaire doesn't make life any better but it can make it worse. That's why no one knows I"m a millionaire, not even my wife; she thinks we're comfortably middle class. If you want to find the fastest way to separate yourself from your lifelong friends and family, start showing off your money. Now when I splurge, I either imply that I had to borrow big time or I don't tell anyone. So when I went to Europe on a family holiday, no one knew that we flew business class instead of economy. By the way, I had a lot more fun on a cheap reunion trip with my College friends than I did on the expensive Europe trip.

      If you can't share your financial situation with your wife then what is the point of being married? I want my wife to know everything about my finances because if I get hit by a car and she suddenly has all of my assets, she will be prepared and won't feel shocked when she sees what was in my bank account. Seems kinda messed up to hide that type of info from the person who you are supposed to trust the most. Also I never talk about my money with my friends because it's none of their business... but you don't need to be so humble to the point where you lie to people about where the money is coming from.

Most of the things said here is definitely true. My family wasn't rich and I didn't really have a good education (I dropped out of high school).

    @DanielOlma 2 роки тому

    Got a little deep there towards the end. While I am working on starting my programming career I have been reading up on souls and the meaning of life and just going down the rabbit hole. I like your perspective. I used to ask if people were happy, but happiness is a reaction to something and not a continuous state. So, as long as this condition is met, you feel happy. Doesn't make for a long term success story,...always trying to meet that condition.
    I believe your soul will experience multiple lives and along the way pick up certain lessons. It is up to you to make mistakes and learn. The question I come up with is what are the lessons trying to teach? Maybe if there were a list, I could just not have to fail (which leads to suffering) to learn these traits. I also believe that you need to exhibit those traits (embed them into the habits of your soul) to continue on. (To what, I don't know).
    Ultimately, we will all figure out the meaning of life. Might take some longer, but we all get there. Money is not it, happiness is not it, even building skillsets is not it. I think these things help in life, but are not the meaning of life.
    Good luck on your search and keep these videos coming.

    Love the ending discussion. To me, the meaning of life is different from person to person. We all have our own definitions of words and what they mean to us. My favorite comical way to explain that is I for example don't like chocolate. So the word "delicious" may mean something different to me than it does to you. I think this stance should also be taken with someone's meaning of life. When I was younger in school I came up with a 1 sentence MOL (meaning of life) and a 1 word why. My MOL is "to be as happy as I can and spread that to as many people as I possibly can." And my why is "illuminate" because when you shed some light on someone else's path you also do on your own. Which I find is exactly what you're doing here with these videos like this!

      @@alinmarta727 I agree , but it kinda never ends , the more you discover , the more you discover and want to go on , at a point you become a totally different person, how do you deal with this especially when people around you are still the same ?

      @@mikemansour4634 very good point. I do not claim to understand life in all its aspects, I just think that these things may improve our lives and maybe also the lives of the people around us. Maybe the fact that it never ends is a good thing, because once it ends and someone cannot find meaning anymore anywhere, than they start getting depressed. Indeed, some people or things around us do not change. I think the way we change and become wiser will just allow us to accept easier the things which do not change.
