A short YouTube video (shorts) by Ryan Daniel Moran urging viewers to reconsider what they truly want. Moran argues many people work intensely and then reward themselves with possessions and ego-driven achievements, mistaking external validation for success while neglecting their original passions or "soul's calling," often because they compare themselves to others.
So many of us work so damn hard to get anywhere and reward ourselves with possessions, with more egoic pursuits, with more things that we think are going to prove our value, make the business what we think is going to be the key to our success, while ignoring our own soul's calling. While ignoring the thing that we wanted to do in the first place. Mostly because we're comparing ourselves to other people. Mostly because we perceive other people as having found the thing that we think we are pursuing.
