Episode 3948:

James Altucher explores how much of our stress and unhappiness comes from trying to control others, or allowing them to control us. Drawing from painful personal experiences with money, relationships, and success, he explains that real freedom begins when you take responsibility for your inner world. His insights reveal how persistence, creativity, and personal health combine to create the “luck” that leads to a truly self-directed life.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://jamesaltucher.com/blog/do-you-control-your-life/

Quotes to ponder:

"NOBODY will ever remember how you helped them. And you can’t save anyone."

"The key to freedom is Luck. But luck is not magic."

"I’d rather be healthy than “right”."
