Today, I got pitched an investment opportunity with “only” upside. The type you hear once and start counting your chickens before they hatch.
I have always ran away from any investment that nurtures greed. This was one, but it was being pitched by someone who is otherwise conservative in investments.
It was a surprisingly difficult “No” to say. But I said it, and moved on.
I am thankful for written down principles that make it easier to carry crosses occasioned by hard choices.
We are all pilgrims heading to places of our deepest desire.
We make untold sacrifices for our journey, and when we arrive we find happiness in its fulfilment. But happiness is fleeting. The fulfilment of our desire still does not make the place home.
Home is where all desires are planted. So we return home to find joy. Joy is enduring. When we get home, we tell tales of our journey and the beauty of desires fulfilled. And then new desires are planted. We seek a new pilgrimage. Off we go again.
Home feeds our journey around the world.
