When unhappy, look for the underlying unfulfilled desire

Chris Labs

Desire is a contract you make with yourself to be unhappy until you get that thing you desired. It’s okay to have desires. But don’t pick too many.

You don’t know what good money is

Chris Labs

Maybe right now, that’s 1 million dollar, but once there, you’ll realize that this is not good money… Why think about how much you make an hour? How much money you make an hour is irrelevant. Wouldn’t you rather make just huge amounts of money and maybe no hours at all, work one hour a year? So don’t think about it in terms of an hour or even money, really. It’s lifestyle.

How much is your time really worth?

Chris Labs

“At this point, I was worth 125$/hour. Then I made the decision, if there’s anything I’ve been doing with my time, that could be done by spending less than 125$ an hour, then I’d be an idiot by doing it. If I enjoy it, it’s a different story, but if I’m not, it’s just stupid. So I paired that kind of idea, what kind of value would I place on my time? Even if I paid a premium, if I paid someone 75$ an hour for someone to mow my lawn, it would be worth it. Most people don’t value … Continue reading How much is your time really worth?
