Personal Development for Smart People Forums - View Single Post - What I Learned From Going Bankrupt in My 20s That Proves to Be Immensely Valuable in

I really enjoyed this article Steve. I have made similar mistakes; not so costly in financial terms as yours, but costly in terms of time. In the end, time is perhaps all we have. How we use it or abuse it determines what we get from it.

I have spent a great deal of time trying to make a living doing things that I cultivated excitement for, but held no real passion for. I have lived life for all the wrong reasons. And I am here to say that you are right -- it doesn't work.

There seems to be some magic though in being honest with yourself about what you really want, and extending that honesty to others in the form of your chosen work. It is as if some unseen stars align in your inner universe to bring good things your way.

Perhaps that is what happens :-)

Best,
John
