I think for everyone it will be different. For years I was a shut-in workaholic. I was totally focused on earning money and getting rich.

One day I had a realization that I wasn't enjoying the fruit of all that labor. I had made getting rich the end game.

Getting rich is a stupid end game, the only reason to have money is to enjoy life more. The irony is the we can always start enjoying life more no matter how much money we have... it's a simple choice.

I consciously started to tip the balance and began to spend more of my money and spend more of my time playing.

The funny part is that the less I have worked, the more money I have made. For me this was not a coincidence, now my work is more focused and it has a real purpose... greater enjoyment of life - which is a lot more inspiring that an bulging bank account.
