are you saying that fame is around the corner? This might sound egotistical, but there is in fact, little difference between me and the self-help guru gods that rise to the top of my LinkedIn feed as far as life happiness is concerned. They may have more money than me, but I believe i possess more pure joy, as my joy is derived from the feeling of not being separated from nature nor people. I had 2 days of enlightenment that came naturally to me. It's worth striving for to have more days like that. I didn't use any weird techniques or even meditation. It occurred naturally and spontaneously. It was rather like a lightning bolt hit me. I really should have documented it better but in those days of existing without a past or future, purely in the moment, I could not be bothered by such activities as recording my present moment.
It's funny you mention Tim Ferriss because I read his 4 hour work week book back in 2007. I credit him with planting the first seeds of leaving the 9-5 world.
