CHASING EXTERNALS
The explanation of chasing after things such as money , fame, comfort, and others is profound. These are things that many humans have become addicted to, and from which many people seeks freedom from. Thank you, Scott, for offering a guide for others who struggle in these.

You see, I love the confidence with which you air your convictions.

I know it's because they are true. You have tested and proven them.

I am enjoying my life more ever since I started embracing true freedom.

Money can only bring momentary happiness. Happiness (joy) is what produces money and makes you enjoy it.

[Fanisa Ndhabambi]

Happiness is a magnet for great things to come, as a positive mindset leads to positive results. When it is abundant, it leads to fulfillment. Money doesn't buy happiness, you can have it but it would not be as fulfilling if you were happy. Indeed happiness leads to external success.

[Dea Ann Bridegroom]

I think with true happiness you earn or as you say it buys money. Most likely you are working in a Job of fulfillment and earnings are exactly what you want them to be or are to begin with.

[Daniel Lyon]

These days I just try to make my own happiness rather than do the conventional things that people do to be happy. I find joy in the little progress I make in school or in familial relationships. Anything positive just gets me up. The part about happiness buying money, well I also find it true and I hope I'd get to experience this soon enough as an entrepreneur.

Quite perfectly said that we need not wander outside to fulfill our want but be satisfied inside and get it in hand from outside automatically with a flow of events.

[Corinna Borsato]

We tend to think we cannot be happy if we cannot provide for ourselves and our family. We tend to visualize our spiritual freedom, our fulfillment and satisfaction, as dependent on having money, economical success. Truly, this is exactly what prevents us from achieving said success. Indeed, striving for earning more is not the correct way to go. Instead, a more suitable approach would be to manifest the economic freedom and liberty by believing in ourselves and becoming successful within.

[Surabhi Rani]

It takes 0 minutes to achieve fulfillment, true happiness, and invincible free-spirited inner peace which is 100% in our control. Nobody can stop us from taking it for ourselves. Money doesn't buy happiness, happiness buys money. Once we become graceful with happy free-spirited inner peace, with a grateful and empowering abundance mindset, achieving external success becomes easy. Once we stop chasing these things, they start chasing us. Happiness leads to external success. The above words rejuvenated my thoughts and ambitions and prepared me to face life's struggles and challenges.
