There are some monks who live a very quiet and peaceful life, and then you have some people who are so busy they hardly have time to think.
I like to do a blend of both and have periods of business followed by times of relaxation and quiet.
I have the luxury of this because I have no kids and not a lot of toys to take care of. The only downer lately is that I blew a bunch of money that would have made it a lot easier for me to get by. My dad was a heating supplier and made a good amount of money doing HVAC sales and just gave us all $100K each from his will. I got the bright idea to drop it into cryptos, after just losing over ten grand on them, and then I lost all of it too like a fool. He worked so hard to make that money with all of the air conditioning and furnace repairs, and then I turned around and threw it all away. It is basically like a gambling addiction and if I get more money down the road I am going to just drop it in the bank. The local business where I work was asking me before I blew it if I wanted to invest it in their HVAC company, which I should have done, but no I was impatient and stupid and threw it all into something that I was sure was going to explode. Oh well, I guess there is something to learn from this but I don’t see it yet.
