How To Own An Authentic Life

Understandably, many of us pursue knowledge and financial success to gain admiration, respect, and perhaps even envy from others. Most importantly, we often seek an ideal partner who sees us as their ideal match, believing that our intelligence and wealth make us more desirable. These aspirations drive us to work tirelessly towards these goals. However, the reality often turns out to be quite different. As wealthier and more accomplished, we may have fewer genuine friends and struggle to find authentic love. But why does this happen?
Some may attribute this phenomenon to human nature, suggesting that people are naturally envious of those who are smarter, wealthier, or more capable. While this may play a role, I believe there are deeper reasons worth considering.
When we devote most of our time to learning and self-improvement, we risk neglecting the relationships in our lives. Time is the great equalizer, ticking away at the same rate for everyone, yet how we spend it varies greatly. If we prioritize our personal development over nurturing connections with others, we will gradually lose touch with the intricacies of love and life. Our conversations will become dominated by academic topics, leaving little room for empathy and emotional connection.
Similarly, when we focus excessively on earning money, our minds become consumed by schedules and meetings, leaving little time for matters of the heart. As our wealth grows, so does our preoccupation with financial matters, often leading to a decline in our emotional availability and patience. In this state, it becomes difficult to cultivate meaningful relationships, let alone find true love.
Over time, individuals who prioritize personal achievement may find themselves drifting further away from a fulfilling life. Despite their intentions to be admired and liked, they fail to realize that genuine connections are built on empathy, quality time, and emotional resonance.
Regardless of our pursuit of wealth or knowledge, it’s crucial to maintain a balance in our lives. No one can deny the fact that we are inherently driven by love and connection. In an era of relentless self-improvement and materialistic pursuits, it’s essential to prioritize meaningful conversations about love, life, and relationships over purely informational topics like politics or economics. Love and relationships are the cornerstone of human prosperity and a better world.

Hello friends, I am from Hong Kong, living there and having decent education there. I am a mother of two sons and I work as a veteran counselor at a fully fledgling marital introduction company. I like to share with people some tougher experiences in the area of human relationships, marriage in particular. I find human nature is a mixed blessing. While we are bestowed upon enjoying the advantages of it, we can also flee the disadvantages of it. How? I will tell you in my books and blogs.
