A quote from Chuck Norris
'Note to all who get their validation from work: the workaholic is the most accepted addict of all. In fact, he and she are celebrated. Why would you want to change when the bosses and society applaud you? Work is the great permissive addiction.'

Burkeman also suggested 'Most successful people are just a walking anxiety disorder harnessed for productivity.'
Nice insights. Thank you.
Fantastic as always! Having 'enough' is an actual superpower and takes a hell of a lot of discipline to break the ingrained scarcity mindset.
I'm reminded of the following anecdote:
Joseph Heller (author of “Catch 22”) and his friend went to a Billionaire’s party.
The friend turns to Heller and asks him: “How does it feel knowing that the host makes more money in one day than you’ve made from “Catch 22″?”.
Heller answers: “I have something our host will never have… I have enough”.
and also the following quote:
"The more pleasures a man captures, the more masters he will have to serve." //SENECA
Which could easily have been said 2000 years later in 'Fight Club' by Tylus Durdanius!
Nice quotes. Thank you :-)
