Your life as an investment portfolio.

“The purpose of life is to replace your bigger problems with the smaller problems. That means replacing your financial problem with the existential problem.”- Aaron Clarey.

The barbarian that inspired his clan now has a lean and feeble body. Ethimus, whose arms could crush stones and kill tigers is now shaky. The broad hairy chest that intimidated his enemies and his beloved has now shrunken. The legs that could lift mountains are now trembling with his weight. This barbarian has grown old.

Yet, Yet……. this barbarian’s one gaze sends a thrill down the spine. His thunderous laughter inspires stories. And his smile whistles away every worry.

This barbarian lived once upon a time.

In one of my private discourses, a speaker shared his problems. The listener listened to it carefully. Now the listener became the speaker and paraphrased the previous speaker’s problem. Instead of giving a prescription, a question was raised, “So ?”

Even if you have reached the end goal, wealth, women & fame. Everything a man desires. I ask you the same question, “So ?”

So? is this what you were looking for?

This is my wish & my blessing, may you find who you truly are & express it to the world.

Lots of Love, Chao.
