Got to know about meditation, read a bunch of books, and started picking up BP podcasts again.2018: Quitted trading and poured all my money into real estate, bought 3 rental properties in Charlotte NC, all single-family houses with 20% down mortgage.

I think meditation before doing something fearful is important.

No idea why I have to do that to figure things out, if meditation does the same thing I have really made myself miserable for nothing hehe.   

I am in my late 20s, and after hours of meditation I spent on BP site, I wish I found about BP earlier! 

Wow, great stories and a bit worrying for me...I'm not a seasoned landlord, about to take that lunge but perhaps meditation classes first?  

Let me make it clear that I am not offended, but I have lots of friends in the yogic community, which is a big thing now (chanting, yoga, meditation, volunteer work) and not a single one of them is an addict.

I've meditated on it myself because it made me mad when the person said this.

I sometimes go down south, like Carlsbad, and I go to San Clemente almost every Sunday to meditate by the ocean, etc.  

I'll speak to the morning ritual........my morning routine is A1.....and has helped lead to my overall success........I'm up at 430......pray....meditation.....affirmation notebook and gratitude journaling......Journaling...... off to the gym....I actually have a night routine that I just started as well.......yoga then 25 mins of reading a physical book......

This piece is a meditation on the guilt associated with wealth accumulation, specifically the personal longing to achieve it.Ever since I remember, I have been told and guided by friends, family and passers by not to focus so much on creating wealth and finances as it is not “good for my psyche” accompanied by the “I’m missing out on life” speech.
