Life is a journey to find intersections. It’s about discovering commonalities between two different attributes: what I want to do and what I am good at, what I recognize and what others recognize, and what I have to do and what I want to do. Knowing your identity well increases your chances of success. However, many people focus only on what they want to do. This mindset can weaken the connection between me and others. We live each alone in this world, but not completely alone. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Making money is far more addictive than spending it. Once you earn money, the pathway to creating more becomes clear. If you try that method and succeed again, then money-making becomes a religion beyond mere addiction. When this method is experienced as an accomplishment, one must remember that the purpose and core motivations suddenly shift from their original intent, leading to corruption. Addiction knows no distinction between good and evil and disregards the line between the sacred and the secular. Be cautious of becoming addicted to seemingly good things. Anyone with a firm conviction of good and evil should always raise concerns. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
