Why Change When Things Are Good?

About this episode

Get more of the Daily Boost...

Growth and change are what most people strive for in their life. It’s what drives you before you create your amazing life. It’s also what drives you to step up to the next level.

In the 15 years, I’ve spent producing the Daily Boost podcast, I’ve had the chance to speak to thousands of people. All of them were in various stages of change, and most had the goal of being happy.

But, there is an issue that keeps popping up.

As people go about living and enjoying the life they’ve built, the natural desire for more growth kicks in, and they find themselves driving harder—usually without thinking about it. It could be about passion, but most times, it’s about making more money.

One day, I talked with a friend about living the good life and how hard people work to mess up a good thing. That’s when asked a great question -

”When life is good, why would you do something else only to make more money?”

It’s not to say making more money is not a very good thing. It’s just important to make sure that you focus on what is right in front of you and remain balanced and happy as you grow.

The happiest people in the world already know that.

Because a powerful force drives humans to grow at any cost, sometimes that costs them in ways they never see coming—both good and bad.

Enjoy what you have and grow to make things better. That’s a recipe for success, no matter how you see it.
