Person, Places, or Things?

For 15 years of my life, I was focused on having a person, a place or things… Those were the worst 15 years of my life.

By James Altucher James: “I need 10 volunteers from every state... to prove me right!” [They called me a con artist]( They called me names…but I was right: Bitcoin is now trading above $11,000… Facebook just announced their new crypto-currency… Now, I need 10 of my fans in every state to step up, to prove me right again… [Go here now to join me in my latest project.]( [Moneyshow]( My friend wanted to be a famous artist. But she said, "I can do it in Paris. I feel that will inspire me." She had unopened paintbrushes in her apartment. Waiting to be packed. Twenty years later, she's a computer programmer at an accounting firm in California. Another friend of mine is divorced and thinks she will never meet another guy again. She wants to meet a guy. She is 50 and incredibly healthy and good-looking. Every time I see her she insists, "I will never meet anyone! I'm too old." She is very convincing. One friend of mine thinks $30 million is his "number." "How did you get that number?" I asked. "I just know. And I'll get there. Soon." He works 80 hours a week. He barely sees his wife and kids. He's 56 years old. "When I'm at that number, I'm going to work on my golf." I don't know how to properly live my life. Sometimes I do it OK and sometimes I mess up. For 15 years of my life (and sometimes now), I was focused on having a person, a place or things. "Then I will be happy!" Those were the worst 15 years of my life.

Also, I got rejected by two publishers that day for my next book. And nobody was returning my calls about a business idea I had. Screw this, I thought. I took a walk. I kept walking. I wouldn't stop. I was outside of New York because lack of job exiled me 70 miles north. I stopped by this place I had never been before by the Hudson River. It was like a mini-beach. I waded into the river. I didn't care anymore. I was sick of myself. People were looking at me because I had all my clothes on. The river was warm. I remember a boat just sitting there. People in it. The sun was a fiery dagger plunging into the mountains across the river. I watched it kill the mountain. It was hot so when I walked home my clothes dried. I started writing. Instead of writing about stocks, I wrote about times I had failed. It felt good. It tickled my heart. I wrote more. I wrote a story about a woman I once liked. I wrote about losing my home and how I cried. I wrote about the time Yasser Arafat invested in my company (he lost his investment). I laughed at what I wrote. I wrote every day, 1,000 words a day. Sometimes 2,000 words. I took more walks. I often returned to that spot by the river but I never felt like swimming it again. It seemed too muddy to me. Now I live in the city. I'm busier. I don't have as much time to write. When I went into the water that one time with my clothes on, I tried to float. But I couldn't. So I went underwater. When I rose up, the sky erased me. The last bright orange lying over the mountains was burning into my brain. I walked home. Bad day in the market. Nobody in my life. No number in the bank. Exiled from opportunity in the city. Slightly wet. I collapsed asleep with my clothes on. Happy. *** [I wish I could live more like the quote in the image. It finds me, then escapes me, then finds me.] Sincerely, [James Altucher] James Altucher P.S. Three months ago, I was invited to a private dinner. I met a lot of interesting people, including a CEO who told me all about “Dr. Weed”... and the amazing tech he was developing in the cannabis space.
