Anxiety and the Quest for Success (VLOG)

Updated: Mar 21, 2023

What really makes us happy? What truly eases our stress and anxiety? Do the answers lie in fame, fortune, and success? Or might they be part of the problem instead. Perhaps our eternal quest for power and money is not the cure-all we believe it to be, but instead some mythic obsession that often leads to disappointment and disillusion. And, if success is not the remedy for our angst and anxiety, then what is? What are the alternatives?

In today’s VLOG, I share a few thoughts about anxiety and our insatiable quest for success. I also share a couple of comments from you and provide a few updates about our content and channels. I hope you enjoy it.

Be Kind, Be Humble, and Be at Peace, D 😊
