Listening to the linked episode of ChooseFI, and man did it resonate with my old days in corporate, and many of my clients. I highly encourage those stuck in the hustle and grind to listen in, as well those who feel like cogs in the corporate machine to give it a listen. This is never meant to say “what you are doing is wrong”, this is meant to create space of “What if there is something MORE aligned? What if I don’t have to subscribe to the norm?”
The default norm is to burn your most healthy and productive years in order to climb the ladder, and make that money, only to spend it later on vacations (to recover, so that I can continue the cycle), or on healthcare (both physical and mental).
Why can’t we have both? Where we enjoy our time and health now, in the moment, and create some for the future?
