Honestly, I've been having this deep conversation with myself lately. I can't seem to find what I am good at or what gives me happiness. I feel like we all chase what we call financial freedom because it affords us the happiness we are seeking which is the freedom to do whatever it is we want to do without worrying about the bills getting paid. However, I've been told numerous times when you serve others then the money follows because you are doing something "beyond yourself". Very thought provoking article.

Yes, I've also heard the mantra that when you serve others, then the money follows.
I'm not sure how I feel about that.
In a karmic sense, yes, it does work, but I can recall two specific cases where I had "business partners" with whom that did not work. That is, I didn't feel I got paid directly for my efforts.
But then again, I did learn some fundamental skills about business and people in general, and a few years later, I went on to do very well, so in a more indirect sense, I guess I did gain from it.
It's a big subject, though. I would say that the best way to do it is to serve others without any attachment to what's in it for you.
