Your Soul Doesn’t Give a Shit About Your Job Title, Car, Clothes, or Money

Your soul doesn’t give a shit about your job title, car, clothes, or money.

Your ego does. It plays a mean little trick on you,

“When I…Then I…”

When I get that promotion, then I will be someone.

When I buy that new car, then I will impress people.

When I have this much money, then I will be happy.

How’s that work out for you?

Sure, these things feel great at the moment. But what happens when the moment is over? When the promotion comes with more responsibility? When the car is no longer new? When X amount of dollars is no longer enough?

It’s a fleeting high, one that leaves you empty and jonesing to feel the way you once felt.

So it’s onto the next target. The next shiny thing. Never grateful for what you have, always chasing.

All the while, you feel something deep inside that is longing for more. Something more profound than a promotion, car, or money.

Purpose and meaning. Fulfillment and abundance.

True fulfillment, joy, and happiness come from within. They come from doing things that make you come alive.
