Your writings demonstrate an ability to flush out the obvious which is generally overlooked by people. It causes pause and self-reflection. I had no idea who you were until I accidently stumbled upon a video setting forth again a common sense approach in determining what your passion is and ultimately building the nexus for a potential career change or realizing you love what you do. To me, it is all about making a difference. You unequivocally are a champion in that field. I am not certain whether your central motivation is marketing your products or making a difference. I do know the effect and positive results you achieve. I consider your writings a gift to which I say thank you. I am always amazed by the simple logic and sensitivity displayed by your articles.

I've always been a little curious why. Perhaps due to the lack of ability to move between social classes, or perhaps for some other societal reason. I've been fascinated with this for a while. Also it seems not unusual to find a bus driver or garbageman that might want to go to the symphony or the opera where here you probably couldn't give away the tickets to your garbageman. More recently I've been surprised by the number of young people I meet at church, etc. wanting to go into law. It seems to be the great middle class myth, the "road to wealth" in the eyes of the middle class. While law is a good profession, you can't help but look at them and ask if they knew there were easier ways to make money. Perhaps it's a reflection on the increasingly byzantine nature of our legal system that you have to be in the game to get ahead, I'm not sure, but I don't think they are going to be happy in 10 years. This is a fascinating subject at any rate, thanks for the post. i find it interesting that in European countries they don’t seem to have the same level of self-loathing about being a garbage man or baker or something that we might consider “lowly” in the US.

I think so many of us feel locked into a law firm job after law school because that is what "everyone thinks we should be doing". I feel so much pressure from everyone around me-family, academic peers, work colleagues-to stick with something I don't really enjoy doing. I really appreciate your article and its candor. Thank you for pointing out that the best happiness comes from the standards within, not from meeting the standards of others! Thank you so much for this inspiring article!

In fact, I love every single blog post you have! A side question: I too think Las Vegas is full of potential. But, how do you manage your business (which I believe is in LA) while you live in Vegas? Do you commute back and forth? I'd love to hear your story about how you decide to move to Vegas and how you continue to run your various businesses remotely. Great post.

Why? Mainly because I don't care what other people think of me. I live my life according to my rules, being very happy with who I am. I have a girlfriend who, when she meets you, looks you up and down, checking that your wardrobe matches, shoes are clean etc. I recently noticed her ten year old daughter doing the same thing. I pity these people who are so conscious of appearances. I wonder how many new houses they'll have to build and how expensive their cars will have to become before they realize these things bear absolutely no relation to happiness. Glad someone out there gets it! Live Life Happy! I am The Happiest Person I Know. Why?
