🐢 Slow down to feel rich

When I was a 22 year old graduate making $60k/year, I used to have nagging questions in the back of my mind like “Will I ever be rich? Will I ever be able to retire?” This state of mind made me hustle, and I often felt like I was in a rush to do things.

Then I dug up an old note about the idea of savoring things.

To savor something is to stretch the time you take to experience it.

Sometimes when I’m eating, I close my eyes and chew slowly, taking in each bite. That alone can take a $10 dish and turn it into a $50 experience.

Conversely, a billionaire could inhale a 3 Michelin star meal and turn it into a cheap experience.
