How to create a well-rounded life for yourself.

I like talking about work and crushing it and all that sh*t.

But not at the expense of living a life of integrity, kindness, wisdom, and happiness.

Maybe it’s just my algorithm, but all my feeds are about getting rich. Whether it's through crypto, content creation, coaching, or entrepreneurship, the focus is always on this one-dimensional aspect of making money.

Work can be so much more than that. In fact, research has been telling us for years that money isn’t a sustainable incentive anyway. There has to be other motivations, like autonomy, fulfillment, and purpose.

So when I see all these people posting their morning routines or going into Monk Mode to get a bunch of work done, I wonder if that has more to do with creating a full, rich, and holistic life.

We are not on this earth for the singular purpose of working and accumulating money.

So, if you look at those goals you created for 2024, are they multidimensional? Are there aspects of your life other than work that are important to you? And are you working towards those things?

Do you have practices in your life that cultivate other qualities like kindness and integrity? Wisdom and happiness? If you don’t, it might be worth revisiting those goals so you can become a great human and not just a great businessperson.
