Lesson 34: The *Top* Secret of Becoming a Happier Creator
The Art of Wanting More
Hello there,
Hope your week is going great.
Welcome to the Side Hustle School weekly newsletter.
Catch up on last week’s lesson here:
Lesson 33: The *ONLY* Way to Reach Your Goals and Build a Side-Hustle
Ask yourself this:
I ask this question myself every day when I write:
Why do I want to keep writing?
The answer usually is “I want to make greater impact, and help people live their life happier and healthier.”
It’s not easy to stay consistent and motivated when life is always on a roll.
I have been writing straight for 365 days and it’s the happiest I have been, ever.
What failure means to you:
Just like success, failure can mean different things to everyone.
Whenever I am at my low, I ask: what it means to be a successful writer.
Ask yourself, whenever you hit a rock bottom.
Because when you hit the rock bottom, usually the only way is up.
Think about it.
Detach from the outcome:
Rather enjoy the process.
I love this quote from Socrates:
He is the richest who is content with the least.
At this time I know for sure, I write because I love to write while detaching myself from the results. That leads me to be happier.
This one isn’t about more material ‘stuff’.
Expectations, opinions, and desires, are mental clutter.
Maybe I am being stoic, but as Marcus Aurelius said: “You have power over your mind – not outside events. Realize this, and you will find strength.”
Live today
If I talk about myself, I spent most time dreaming about the future or what the future going to look like.
And between that, you miss what’s right in front of you. That could lead to missed opportunities.
Especially when you’re creating.
That can lead to a life less lived.
Instead, let’s give your all in this very moment.
Right here.
Right now.

You reading it.
Just being here, let’s enjoy each other’s company.
Lastly-
It’s easy to rush through life, aspiring for bigger things and forgetting all the little things.
In the attempt to what’s left, you forget to recognize how far you’ve come.
Define your meaning of success and you exactly know what you need to do and how to need to reach there.
Meanwhile, enjoy this moment.
Because it’s yours to live.
Be Bold
Be Courageous
Be Your Best
