The truth about the easy life.

ByJowi

Hey Reader,

Last night was rough.

Our son woke us up in the night.
Which happens to all parents, I know.

He cried.
He was hungry, so we gave him a bottle of milk.

Just when I was about to fall asleep again, he cried again.

At some point, he fell asleep again.
I didn’t…

My mind was wandering around.

How nice would it be to have an easy life?

  • Sleeping through the night.
  • Sitting up rested.
  • No commitments during the day.
  • Just whatever I want to do.

Do you also wish for an easy life sometimes?

It would be so nice, right?

Nope, probably not.

As much as I wish for an easy life,
I understand that it would be boring.

There would be no more drive to share.
No stories to tell.

There would be no hardship to learn, grow and improve.

I wouldn’t even know how to cherish the good times in my life.

I wouldn’t know how to really enjoy the good blessings in my life.

There is a difference between owning $1 million and being a millionaire.

The lottery winner doesn’t know what to do with all that money.
Whereas the millionaire has the character strength to know how to handle wealth.

As much as I enjoy the idea of an easy life,
I remind myself that success and blessings are only cherished by understanding the lack and hardship that would be the opposite.

If you’re dealing with hardship right now,
I want to encourage you to look for the blessings you have.

​

Cherish them and grow.

    Hey Reader, The advice to follow your passion has been talked about for many years. Recently, everybody started to talk about Ikigai. It’s a Japanese concept with four sections. The idea is to help you narrow down what you should do. It evaluates whether you’re good at it, whether others demand it, the market, and whether you have passion for it. All good things. There is one challenge though. On paper, it makes everything sound good. When I started out, I talked about fatherhood—because it’s…

    Hey Reader, I enjoy success. There is something extremely satisfying about winning. For me, success is the biggest motivation to play. A statement that I used to define was: “We’re in it to win it.” The more I chase success, the more I notice some patterns of bad success. You look like you have it all, but you’ve lost the important things along the way. We all look at business and probably think that the amount of money is the deciding factor of success in business. The biggest misconception…

  • Build the bridge, not just the offer

    You don’t sell a product, you’re not creating an offer or doing a service — you’re helping someone transform their lives. They have a problem or pain, and they wish to make a change. Anything we do is there to help them build a bridge. It is the Bridge of Transformation. So whenever we think of something to do or build, we should first understand the Transformation: Where are they coming from? Where are they going? Then we get a deeper understanding of the different options we can build. In…
