EPISODE NOTES
Working just for money will only lead to higher stress and dissatisfaction. A high paycheck can give you a momentary boost in happiness, but will eventually lead to job dissatisfaction, detachment, and burnout.
In today’s episode, we are busting the belief that more money means more joy. We are talking about the only two commodities in life--money and time.
Working for money alone will keep you stuck and dependent on your job, while neglecting the fact that your time is a more precious commodity, as you can’t make more. Trading time and energy for money will eventually leave you searching for more---more meaning, more fulfillment, more happiness in your work.
If you are questioning whether you’re working for the right reasons, whether your work is making a difference, or whether you’re aligned with what matters - then this episode is going to help you answer those questions!

Once you become clear on your purpose, everything becomes easier - everything! In this episode of The Speed of Life Show, you'll learn the importance of having a greater purpose, why it's not some big mystery to be solved, and how you can elicit your own purpose by considering 3 key questions.
