Yes Alex, I think it's about finding a balance. When we lean to far one or the other we fall flat on our face. I think it was Alan Watts that I learned that from.
You are right about trying to convince people, it needs to come from within. Although, I do like it when someone comes back to me after a few years and thanks me for planting a seed which lead them to the light, or in most cases lead them to good investments.
Thank for stopping by @eco-alex
