Marine and the Hippie 220508 S02E12- Early Bloomers vs. Early Livers
Manage episode 337491739 series 3381954
In this dialogue, we discuss the difference between blooming early and then fading out vs. living the entire time. We begin the discussion with the story of Kobe Bryant, one of the greatest basketball players of all time, who worked and worked to provide a good life for him and his family, and then died young and never got to live life apart from his work. We then moved to a metaphor of the man who is living life who is harassed by a professional who chides him for not sharing his values of hard work, saving and retirement. What use is all that when you seek to spend your time living now and don't want to wait for an uncertain future. Ultimately, we discover that it might be a different story if we were actually working for ourselves and our own lives, rather than simply working to make someone else rich.
