Your joy matters, a lot
What Gabriel found, and what we're doing with More to Your Life
Gabriel is the name of a former corporate lawyer I met on a “pinch me; how does this get to be my life?!” day in Armenia. He shared how he’d left his 8:00am-8:00pm+ lucrative position and fancy life for a simpler way of being.
His words for others stuck in similar lives?
“You guys. It—the hustle, the consumption-lifestyle, the status-chasing—is all too much.”
In a tiny pause in our scheduled programming, can we chat a minute about what we are doing here at More to Your Life?
Yes, it is a “we” thing (you and me), and I mean it when I say I love writing for us.
More to Your Life is a movement of people just like you who aren’t content just getting by or hustling or playing it safe through life. You appreciate freedom and exploration and growth. You are principled and kind and creative and want to like the results of how you’re spending your money, time, and energy.
I write this column daily to share things to consider related to meaningful work and life, stories from the road, and encouragement for all of us. Lives and inboxes get busy; this column is meant to be a daily breath of fresh air and a reminder of what matters. It’s conversational, sometimes funny-ish, and real.
