I'm afraid I totally do not see myself in your post at all Tom !
My motto in life has always been finding a balance between achieving financial success, and having the most fun I possibly can, while trying to do more good than bad.
And don't get me wrong, financial success for me doesn't mean just a great salary, I want to go all the way.
But I have never thought that hard work had anything to do with achieving outstanding success, and to date that has most definitely proven true for myself.
I sleep in, I don't stare at the screens the whole day, I don't dream of markets or check em at night, I party hard on weekends when I can and couldn't care less where markets open on Mondays.
Everything in life is down to your personal choice.
And my choice was to get the best of both worlds.
I totally enjoy my work when I'm doing it - by far the best job in the world imo - but when I'm not working, when I've achieved my targets for the day I'll go out and have a good time, go for a good brisk walk somewhere to get the min 30 minutes exercise our bodies need to remain functional, go for a nice drive, go hang out in Starbucks, browse through book stores, just have a good time in other words, and on weekends go for drinks and clubs etc.
Everything in life is a choice, and as far as I'm aware the most successful achivers are always those who take things seriously enough, but play them lightly, for these people things come with far less effort than for the fighters, fighting just causes your actions to be met by reactions, let go on the other hand, float along down the path of least resistance and in tune with the natural ebb and flow of life and its offers, and far greater things will start happening with very little effort indeed.
