“What’s the Point?” — Success Fades, but Wisdom Lasts


Listen Later

In today’s talk, we reflect on a revealing interview with the world’s top-ranked golfer — wealthy, famous, celebrated — who admits that every achievement feels amazing for two minutes… and then it’s gone. The cycle begins again: new goals, new pressure, new expectations. His honesty highlights a universal truth: Worldly rewards never last. The trophies, the clothes with tags still on them, the praise, the recognition — the joy fades almost instantly. Yet there is an alternative. A path not driven by constant reaching, but by letting go. A lifestyle grounded in inner peace rather than external achievement. A practice that, with patience and perseverance, leads to something lasting — even liberation. Ask yourself: What am I chasing? Does it ever truly satisfy? Maybe the point isn’t getting more… maybe it’s letting go.
