You're successful, but it's not all it's cracked up to be.
June 13, 2022 15:11 - 49 minutes - 46.1 MBIt's all wrapped up together: your YouTube channel, your business, your passion, your dreams for life, everything. Sometimes we get everything we wanted and, when we do, find out it's not really what we thought we wanted. Other times the success we're looking for feels unattainable. In both cases, the culprit is often an unclear vision for what we really want and a false assumption that the thing we think we want is the thing that will grant us peace and satisfaction.
