When you come down to it, happiness is what we are all after, this means different things to different people but without a foundation of health, money and the freedom to enjoy it you’ll struggle to achieve it in the world we live in.
Without goals you’ll find it hard to focus and without focus you’re unlikely to end up where you want to go. Goals are arbitrary by definition but required for success.
Money is not the be-all and end all but it does facilitate freedom and allows you to pursue the experiences that make life amazing. And as for problems, if a problem can be solved by money then you have no problem.
The paradox is that we want to be MORE productive and do more while not wasting time on doing it for the sake of it. Identify the important things worth doing and focus on those. Everything else can go.
Money won’t buy happiness. Getting shredded won’t make you happy. You have to do the inner work. Journalling, meditation, reading books, sharing experiences and building relationships all contribute to happiness.
