Hey Leo here for actualized.org and in this episode I'm going to be talking about the

illusion of success how successful people are not happy the way that we usually assume. Be careful that in trying to get more you don't end up with less.

There's a very deep illusion within you that keeps you from growing to your full potential and this is the illusion of success and this got imprinted into you as part of our modern culture.

What is this illusion?

they're working hard, and they're putting their lives together.

my dream husband and then I have the great social circle and I have freedom and

and I would be doing big things with my business I would be doing significant things
