I find there are three things that people want in one form or another. Better relationships, finding the ‘right one’ to spend their time with, more money and more freedom. At the beginning of the journey, it seems that these are the core requirements on the path to fulfilment and happiness. And it makes sense. You find someone to love and they love you back, more money leads to financial security and freedom gives us back our time. Time to do the things we want and spend it with the people we want.
When you really look at it, it’s about having choice. Not being stuck in a job, barely scraping by hoping to make it to the weekend so you can breathe again. We want freedom, life on our terms, not on someone else’s schedule, paid just enough to get by, while prices keep going up so we never really get ahead. Stuck in a cycle of give and take. It’s about breaking the mould and living the life where you get to make the choices and it starts with a new relationship with the self.
