Happy is the new rich, why not have both?

Everything begins and ends with our mind; our emotions are dictated by the proceeding thought.

Every single morning your day will be dictated by the first, in-between and last thought running through your mind, this determines our attitude.

We know that, everyone knows that >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

So why are so many highly successful, able, capable, smart, charismatic, amazing men, living with a lurking loneliness and low-level depression? Surely, they are outrageously happy?

 No.

 Rarely discussed, is they high price you pay in that pursuit of success. Many suffer from unhealthy levels of stress, anxiety, and a constantly moving mind. Decades of driving hard causes a mental and emotional backlog, In essence, in order to achieve, they have to give up who they are and become what they need to be.

 I was one of the 2% of women in my industry over decades, I drop down to 1% percent, when I say; I was a business owner. However, I rise slightly, when I say I was on a company board for years.

A female boss to men of all backgrounds and levels, I dealt with a global audience, in a very tough industry.

It’s given me insight, hindsight and lived experience, of why, so many successful men end up living with a low-level misery and emptiness.

 I also experienced it myself.  I arrived at the pinnacle of everything I’d been striving for, beyond my wildest dreams, but I was miserable and my marriage was a mess.

Can you have it all? Yes. You just need to go back and unxxxx yourself.

That doesn’t mean changing, it simply means keeping the parts that work: It could mean you're now a highly disciplined, passionate, driven, adventurous, risk taker.  However, you are now living with anxiety and a ceaseless mind, and no matter what self-help book or however much positive thinking you try to apply, it never goes away. Water off a duck’s back.

“Most people see only what they want to, and through the lens of whatever level of truth, is acceptable to them”. Please read that again, because in there, lies everything.

Success is wonderful, having lots of money is brilliant, achievement the BEST feeling, but; it feels empty unless we go back in and grab the man you left behind.

 Gently, well, maybe, a slight yank is needed lol.

 I’ve been there, and I walked out with an internal life I never thought possible. I just didn’t know how to bring it alongside, what it took to build the companies I built.

 I’m still driven, still wild, still high energy, still passionate, still strong as an Ox: this isn’t about the decommissioning of a person. 

This is about going in and getting the person who gave up so much to succeed and, in your case, pull him out from under the title, roles and mountain of responsibility and “personality” he's had to become.

I want to talk to him.
