He Had It All But It Came With A Price

Nowadays, thanks to social media, everyone has made up goals and targets for their lives. They’ve set the marker to hit a certain target and if they don’t, they consider themselves a failure. The fear of failure and longing for success has led many young people into races that drain them of their happiness and ambition. They only consider a rich lifestyle as a successful lifestyle.

Is it true? Does the definition of success is based on the amount of money you have? Or the car you drive? Or the house you live in?

This is a lesson many people learn the hard way, just like this entrepreneur.

Hear This Entrepreneur’s Crazy Story

This businessman didn’t want to share his identity but he wanted to share one of the biggest life lessons that he has learned. Just like any other person, he was also one of those people who dreamt about a fancy car, a bigger house, and a steady bank balance. Soon after, he launched a coaching company with all the debt he had gotten himself into. He managed to bring his dreams to reality by moving to the United States of America.

The Land Of Brave And Rich

Soon after, the entrepreneur moved to the US and quickly leased a huge house and a nice car. After this major upgrade, making money almost felt like an addiction where he kept on looking to make more and more because that is what success was a success for him at the time. After that, he continued upgrading his residence, driving the best cars. For a moment, it felt like he was living the best life!

The Realization

He later realized that he wasn’t happy with the way things were. There was a lot of validation-seeking, and the need to feel connected. Once he realized that the people around them were with him for what he had, not for who he was. That’s when he decided it was time to stop investing in cars and mansions. It was time to invest in personal development. This is a prime example of being influenced by external and internal factors into believing that money is the definition of success. But, once you develop those unhealthy habits and addictive behavior, you realize the gravity of the situation.
