When I was back in my twenties I had left a corporate job and had decided to pursue a career as a personal trainer. Starting out in a whole new career I obviously didn't have a lot of money, but I had made a promise to myself that when I was in a better financial position I would buy my dream car. The dream car was a Golf R32 and I had wanted that car for so long. I looked up all the reviews, I watched the videos and I thought about it all the time.

After around 2.5 - 3 years, I finally had enough money to buy the car and it was such a momentous occasion. I remember going to the dealership and picking it up and I was so excited. It felt amazing to be able to purchase this car and I felt really happy. The thing is though, after a couple of months the novelty wore off. I found myself unmotivated and sad again, and I couldn't really understand why.

As I started delving more into self-development, I came across the work of Deepak Chopra and his teachings changed my life. It was through his work that I came to realise that I was relying on things outside of myself to make me happy. I was always looking for the next challenge, the next materialistic object to give me that sense of fulfilment. It wasn't until I started to go inward and look to my inner thoughts to provide the happiness that my whole world changed.
