Life is kind of a game. The goal is to find your way home. People spend their whole lives running around searching for the perfect place, person, income and identity. They search far and wide but no matter how much money they spend or how far they travel, they don't find "home".
The answer is not "out there".
It's been inside you the whole time.
We always think the grass is greener "over there".
We think we have to go after stuff to get it.
The best way to end up where you belong is to stop frantically looking... find peace ... and let it come to you.
But it can't find you if you keep running around in desperation.
"Home" finds those who are at peace.
You cannot be taken care of until you find peace inside yourself.
Only then can things come to you.
It's counter intuitive but that's how it works.
Stop chasing.
Start attracting.

Have a Royal Weekend!

One of the biggest illusions is that people with money have less stress. Sure worrying about food and rent is stressful, but everybody has challenges, no matter the income or status. Higher income almost always means more complex problems, which means more stress from issues unimaginable to most. There were times we lived out of a car and times where everything just flowed with no end in site. We've met people in both extremes and realized some of the unhappiest most stressed out people are those with the most money and "things". It's a common cycle with most people- start poor- scratch your way to "the top, grab as much of the good life as you can, realize the price is too high and not worth the hassle and then back off to something simpler again. The one thing almost everyone learns at some point is that simplification is one of the biggest factors to a longer, happier, stress-free life. Unfortunately most people don't want to hear this- everyone thinks they are the exception that can "handle" all that pressure. It's a lesson almost everyone must learn firsthand the hard way. The issue isn't money. It's complexity. Those who truly feel peace are the ones who learned that lesson. The more stubborn people are at learning the important lessons, the more painful the lessons are. If we can help in any way, it helps to not go after what we've been told, ...but what gives us peace.
