    One of the most confusing parts of taking the Surrender Experiment to real life was: does this count as surrendering? I kept second guessing myself on every decision I make and every action I take, until I realized that the “test” is simple. Whether you are truly surrendering was never about which action you take. #retireearly #firemovement #financialfreedom #personalfinance

    Life is not just about the doing, the productivity and the money.

    111. Financial Freedom is NOT True Freedom

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 21, 2024 10:17


    Do you believe money equals freedom, and the more money you have, the more freedom you have? I used to believe that too, until I hit my FI number, got myself to a place where I can live without a job, without active income, and realized that I'm still so far from being truly free. The counterintuitive truth about freedom is that you cannot be free until you let go of control, expectations and preferences. You can't force freedom to happen. You can only surrender for freedom to happen. #retireearly #firemovement #financialfreedom #personalfinance

    In this world, we are taught about different standards and what we should and shouldn't have, and little do we know that it's making us ungrateful for things we have, resulting in us feeling imprisoned from our thoughts. Achieving true happiness means being free from your negative thoughts and becoming more grateful for the things you have in life. How about you?

    I've been feeling lost and wobbly ever since I retired early. I was so used to building my entire identity around my grades, my school, my job, the company I work for, etc., but I never built that sense of self outside of these external labels. Today, I had a life-changing therapy session and finally discovered my core values. “So this is why I've been making these major life decisions. So this is why I've been running my business this way.” It was full of ah-ha moments. Hopefully you can find some insight in my journey of self-discovery and analysis. #retireearly #firemovement #financialfreedom #personalfinance
