The Booketeer Podcast

You don't feel satisfied with your current way of living. You're working towards something bigger, but it's scary. Scary because it's different from what you used to imagine for yourself and from what others expect from you. Even worse, you're not sure exactly what it is. You just know that by taking the steps to pursue it, you're sure to find a diamond. Thankfully, Paul Millerd shared his experience with it in the book, "The Pathless Path". This episode is more of my thoughts and experience with the idea of the pathless path, as well as some catching up since the previous episode. Hopefully, it'll help you make better sense of the question; Are you just a bad egg, or are you a big dreamer seeking more out of life?

Either way, I hope you find this episode beneficial. Happy Listening!

It's a part of us as humans to chase wealth, success and all these pretty things, or to at least want it.

Perhaps it'll be a reminder to you and me that the happiness we seek is in what we already have.
