Two books have been sitting with me this week:
- The Richest Man in Town – V.J. Smith
- Wealth Money Can’t Buy – Robin Sharma
They’re different stories, but they share the same heartbeat: the quality of your everyday life matters more than the rare “I made it” moments.
And yet, look around — we’ve normalised a way of living that’s quietly toxic.
Normal to think too much.
Normal to wait until we’re exhausted to rest.
Normal to say yes when our body says no.
Normal to own things we don’t need, or chase someone else’s ego‑driven idea of success.
It’s a subtle poison. And most people don’t even know they’re drinking it.
I’ve noticed how easy it is for people to get pulled into shiny chases.
The body starts whispering — a little tension, a restless night, a drop in energy — and we ignore it.
Ignore it long enough, and it becomes a shout.
Gabor Maté and other scientists will tell you the mind creates the body’s stress.
I’ll add: it’s the mind in a form that’s been trained to believe this is “normal.”
For me, “enough” isn’t clothes, cars, or cash.
It’s laughter.
It’s monthly income that lets me eat well and do what I love.
It’s time to move slowly, without my health markers going haywire.
And here’s the thing — when you live from that place, the material wins that do come feel different. They’re not chased, they’re attracted.
I fast every two weeks — 36 hours, zero calories.
Not as punishment, but as a reset.
It reminds me what’s important.
It makes food taste glorious again.
It shows me how much junk we put into our bodies out of habit, boredom, or the feeling that “it’s not enough.”
The people you spend time with shape this too.
Sit with those who gossip, rush, and numb — you’ll adapt to survive there.
Sit with those who are kind, mindful, and attentive — you’ll adapt to thrive there.
It’s all interconnected: the poisons that pull us from happiness are body‑based, mind‑ego‑based, and they fracture relationships.
The man in The Richest Man in Town loved his work. He was kind. He took his time. And when he died, his legacy was joy, not stress.
That’s the lesson: be nice, work on what you love, slow down.
The “enough” I’m talking about is freedom from desire and fear.
It’s here now.
And taking your time means there’s no whip inside — no panic, no scarcity.
Slow is meditation.
From that state, you speak differently, you create differently, you get better results, and you tap into the butterfly effect.
This is how you change your future.
Dr. Joe Dispenza’s work shows it scientifically. Yogis have taught it for thousands of years.
When you slow down and live in “enough,” you shift into a higher reality — one that’s more fulfilled, peaceful, and abundant than anything the chase can give you.
The key is to slow down before the crash.
Stay calm, meditated, present — because once the stress state takes over, it drags your reality down with it.
I’ve been there. It’s not worth it.
Robin Sharma writes about the wealth money can’t buy: peace, fulfilment, adventure, creative spark, relationships, vitality.
These are the roots and trunk of any material wealth worth having.
And when you already feel them inside, the outside shifts automatically — without the exhausting chase.
So, how much is enough for you?
And are you willing to live from that place now?
With love,
Raj
