When I write my newsletters, I hope that they inspire curiosity. I don’t have all the answers in life. I’m not even sure I’d want to have all the answers. I think life might end up being quite boring.

But when we have a curious mind, I think life is interesting.

This week I want to talk about the belief that we need to work hard to achieve the things we want in life. The reason I want to talk about his specific belief is because I think it holds a lot of people back.

I want to share my thoughts and I am happy to hear your thoughts too.

My thoughts

I hear time and time again, people saying that you don’t get what you want without hard work or something along those lines.

But is this true?

• Does everyone with a life they love work hard to get it? NO

• Do some people work hard all their lives and still don’t have the life they want? YES

So, it’s not as clear cut as working hard and you’ll be rewarded with the life you want.
