If you're feeling any frustration, any sadness, any overwhelm, depression,

if you're feeling like just, ah, I'm not catching the break, I'm getting sick all the time.

I'm not creating the financial opportunities I want.

I feel like people are using and abusing me.

If this is part of your narrative right now and your reality, then I want you to know

that in today's episode, we are diving into a topic on how to really create more fulfillment and

happiness in your life. I'm bringing on Simon Sinek today, who's one of today's most

influential thought leaders, and we're talking about perspective and how obviously comparison is the

thief of joy and social media creates a lot of comparison, feeling like we're not enough,

but how lasting happiness comes from contribution rather than achievement and why friendship

might be the most valuable asset that we're sacrificing in our pursuit of success.

And let me tell you something.

I have accomplished a lot in my life.

And I'm grateful for my accomplishments.

But for part of this time in my teens and my 20s, when I was accomplishing, I was not

happy because I was pursuing something to try to be seen, to try to be accepted, to try to fulfill

some wound and mend something from my past and never felt good.

It felt momentarily like exciting.

But at the end of the day, I went back into sadness and suffering and kind of frustration

and overwhelm and all that stuff.

And so we need to be thinking about how can we

truly create lasting happiness, lasting joy. And that comes from contribution rather than achievement.
