The Truth About Money
I am blogging everyday (or nearly everyday) on The Daily Stoic.
I reached my career goals a few years ago when I was promoted to manager. I thought life would be great after that. It was actually the opposite. There was some struggle and frustration. I realized I no longer had that purpose I once thought. When you’re financially strapped and looking to improve your life you have a purpose. Once you meet that goal it opens up a bunch of different possibilities.
I thought I’d spend more time playing video games but they can get old after too much time with them. I am spending more time with my family but I had to break the habit of looking for the next thing. The stoic for today talks about how money doesn’t fix what’s internal. That’s what I’ve come to realize in the last couple years, my purpose. I now need to focus on fixing all of my internal issues (and there are a lot).
