What do you do for a living? /how do I achieve work/life-balance?

[RitaJC]

My experience is completely different than yours now. But it was like yours as long as I believed what you are still believing...

I'm sure you don't mean it this way, but statements like these I think can be harmful. The movie "The Secret" was another example—it just spewed out platitudes from people who were already rich like it was just so easy, ignoring the suffering so many people were going through trying to survive. In my opinion it is better to encourage and guide rather than point the finger at someone who may or may not be operating from ingrained beliefs.

In the US, from an objective standpoint, and especially today with huge corporations now expanded to the Internet, there is no denying the reality of this situation. That said, I do agree with you that beliefs are key. As an entrepreneur, the belief I can do anything is vital, in spite of whatever is going on "out there."

Shoot for the stars, do anything you want to do.

I am sorry if what I wrote came over as a harmful platitude. But I have truly learned that "out there" is always reflecting only one thing: our conscious or unconscious beliefs about ourselves, others, and life.

Could you please help me formulate it in a less harmful way?
