67. You Can’t Hustle Your Way to Happy
One of the great lies of hustle culture is that we’ll be happier once we achieve a certain external milestone. Unfortunately, it’s impossible to hustle your way to happiness. Because how you GET to your success is how you will BE in your success. If you hustle and stress and worry on your way to being a best seller, you will be a best seller who feels the need to hustle and stress to STAY successful. It’s not a pretty cycle, but there is a solution. And today’s episodes outlines the path to a success that actually feels good.
