By the end of 2009, I picked up my first Self Improvement book. I was feeling miserable working as an employee for a shipping company. I felt I had to be, do, and do something different with my life. I attracted the book “Rich Dad Poor Dad” by Robert Kiyosaki.
This kind of personal development is related to developing yourself in the areas of entrepreneurship, career, finances, investing, and wealth generation.
A few pages in and I realized where my discontent was coming from. I had to be my own boss as a business owner. And that’s where to chase to “be someone” differently began.
Mindfulness, however, is completely something different. I didn’t really understand it first when I attended the mindfulness in nature session. Instead of observing my surrounding, I was seeking something within myself that was out of place and that I had to improve. Always overanalyzing my thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Was I conditioned to think like that because of the many years wandering around in the self-improvement market?
