I’ve stayed in 5 star resorts full of millionaires.
And I’ve stayed in broken down hotels full of ants.
But what I’ve learned about success as a result may surprise you:
Everyone knows the feeling:
You see influencers flexing their fancy lifestyle and think “They must be so happy. If only I would get there…”
The question is...
Does life really change that much?
Let me tell you a story where I stayed in this beautiful hotel.
Great view, great food, great service and all kinds of fancy stuff that nobody really needs (ever saw a menu for different bedsheets?)
Not gonna lie it was cool chilling there, but…
I had an argument with my partner that day and it taught me an important lesson.
I was sitting in this fancy hotel and couldn’t help but feel bad…
All this luxury couldn’t change my feelings.
The irony made me laugh.
There’s a saying…
“It’s better to cry in a Porsche than to cry in a Toyota”
Everybody who says this never cried in a Porsche.
But this is not your typical “money doesn’t make you happy” thread.
So keep reading…
Luxury hotels are great no doubt about it but,
I stayed in places with no windows, broken interior and ants crawling out of the sink...
And I had a great time anyways.
So what’s the lesson?
Stop trying and just settle with the minimum?
No…
The internal is more powerful than the external.
Your environment can only impact how you feel to an extent.
You on the other hand have the power to choose your reaction regardless of your environment.
Stop putting conditions on your happiness and remember:
You’ll only find joy in the present moment.
Don’t fall for the biggest illusion of mankind…
“Once I’ll have X, I’ll be happy”
False, once you’ll got X, you want Y.
Be happy now.
You can still go after your goal, but don’t expect it to change your life.
No matter where you go or what you own, you’ll still be you.
Here’s the ironic part:
Once you enjoy the present and don’t put too much importance on your goal…
Guess what happens?
You’ll reach your goal much easier.
Those who need it the least always get it.
Don’t believe me?
The guy who doesn’t need the girl, gets her.
The seller who doesn’t need to close the deal, gets it.
Those who don’t need a loan are liquid and get the loan.
Neediness repels success.
When you need nothing, you’ll get everything.
Everything starts from your thoughts.
Your surroundings can only amplify how you feel.
If you want to be immune to the sh*t life throws at you, train your mind to see the good in every situation.
Control your mind or it controls you.
The single best way to train your mind and build inner strength is meditation.
After 7 years of trial & error, I developed a bulletproof practice that allows ANYONE to reap the benefits of meditation in no-time.

That's a wrap!
