# Wisdom from a friend

I will keep this short and rephrase my friend who conveyed this wisdom.

> Power, Fame and Money are things I do not chase. The more I chase these, the more I get addicted to them. The farther I pursue them, the more I am likely to struggle to cope with losing even a bit of any of these. It is easy to lose these or to find a steeper peak to climb. Therefore, the odds that I will struggle are high if I go on this chase. I don’t like to struggle and therefore I choose not to chase any of these.

So profound, so relatable, so eloquent.
