Somedays I get so consumed by getting rich that I work all day. I falsely assume that I’ll only be able to enjoy life when I have more money

Then I see people around me who have less money than me, enjoying, and I think to myself, I need to seriously take a break

Nothing feels sweeter than having a good day with a friend or meeting your partner. Or even anything else really

What are ways to live life EVERYDAY but also chase your dreams?

    It sounds like you have competing goals. Is it really “getting rich” that you want, which is arbitrary, or is it happiness, which is an emotion? You need to take a break, do a little retreat with yourself, and reprioritize so that everything starts with your “why,” as Simon Sinek says. You shouldn’t be getting rich for the sake of getting rich, that’s not a real goal. Why are you really getting rich? Is it to afford yourself things that make you happy? Is it to provide for your family? If the only reason you’re getting rich is just to get rich, for status or other external validation, you need to take a step back and think about what it is that YOU really want, not what you think other people want or what other people told you that you should want. Do you really want to just continue amassing bits of paper, metal, and electrons somewhere in the “cloud,” is that really your “dream”? Or is your dream being surrounded by people who you care about and who care about you, doing things you all enjoy together?
