It's not about you - NY Times hits the mark.

<p>Amen!</p>

<p>It’s the behavior we’re now modeling in our home. I was criticized in a meeting, once, when asked what I wished for my children. I said “Happy, Healthy, Fulfilled.” I guess the other parents were expecting me to say Ivy League, six figure job, big mansion, stocks and bonds, etc. So I had to repeat it:</p>

<p>Happy
Healthy
Fulfilled</p>

<p>Funny - most parents in the room admitted to being unhappy but were pushing their children to find mainstream employment for stability. I pointed out I chucked stability and found bliss and flexibility as a self-employed person instead.</p>

<p>One Sunday the sermon at a local church was “You were born with certain gifts. Find your passions and pursue them. The “money” will sort itself out.” </p>

<p>Seems a lot of people are realizing that bliss isn’t always found between the cogs of relentless corporate gears. :-)</p>
