I love this, Mike- what an amazing perspective and reminder. It brought me back to another parable that you've likely heard and used before called "the Fisherman and the Business man". I go back to this every so often when I need to be reminded that more is not always better- and the present moment has everything we need. Here's the story in case you haven't read it- https://thestorytellers.com/the-businessman-and-the-fisherman/
You just get me, Mark! I share "The Story of the Mexican Fisherman" with all of my clients. In my version, he actually pursues material wealth and spends about 30 years amassing it, only to return to the exact spot he was in 30 years earlier... living that similar, simple, peaceful life. The first time I heard it, it changed something in me. Perhaps I'll share my version soon. In the meantime, enjoy Kenny Chesney's amazing version ;)
