Thank you for this. I so get what you are saying. Some times we have to--or GET TO--take the long road so that we might know what success really is. Life is a wonderful, amazing mystery. It's not for us to ask why, but to embrace the journey and increasingly open our eyes. A salute your Strength for the journey and willingness to embrace, learn and grow with it. To Your Life @ Full Strength, Shawn Raul,

Some times we have to–or GET TO–take the long road so that we might know what success really is. Life is a wonderful, amazing mystery. It’s not for us to ask why, but to embrace the journey and increasingly open our eyes.

A salute your Strength for the journey and willingness to embrace, learn and grow with it.

To Your Life @ Full Strength,

You are totally right we have to keep the two separate. At one time I had found some success with a windfall, but lost a big chunk of it in mid 2008 when the market tanked. For the last couple of years I was disappointed as I never found satisfaction when I had the success. I was with out a career, little money, and like you said small collection of those "things". <strong>Your speech in Tampa about Quantum change really hit home</strong>, since then I have been seeking satisfaction. I decided to change my entire environment. I moved from Texas to Massachusetts. A friend offered me a job in a field I have no experience in and a location that is cut off. I am currently living in an island in Cape Cod and working in a restaurant. I have been humbled and woken up to the things that truly matter. I am making a humble pay check each week and I am happier now than I have been in a long time. I am experiencing new things, learning new things, and <strong>making new friends just about everyday. </strong> The material things I had were nice, but when they were gone I felt empty and I felt like a failure. As I experience these events of satisfaction I feel alive and I am living with a purpose. Shawn thank you for sharing these words of wisdom you have written. It reinforces this new adventure/experience <strong>I have begun, a new chapter in my life.</strong> In appreciation, Raul Hello Shawn,

I had a similar post in mind about "happiness ever after" not existing as a single point in time - it's a common bias many people (including me) have. Great post, Shawn… love it.
