This post was a bit of a roller coaster, and I’m still trying to decide what I think about the full linkedin text.

what really matters

If they really matter, why don’t you make decisions that prioritize that stuff over your career and hollow social status?

Words vs actions. Tale as old as time.

But then for some reason I clicked on the LinkedIn link others shared. Most of the way down the post I saw these paragraphs that make me think there may be hope for her yet:

I’ve sold off so many things I didn’t need—including a sports car that, truthfully, just made it harder for people to connect with me. And harder for me to connect with myself.

I made a conscious decision: I want to live a life centered around the fundamentals. Real relationships. Honest work. Good food. Movement. Curiosity. Quiet. Integrity.

It’s a journey I’m still on, and I’m far from perfect. But I can feel the shift. And I think others can too.

I am way down this road myself. But I haven’t sold off any sports cars. In fact, I think I might acquire one. For good reasons of course, including connecting better with myself any my family. I like driving and my son likes windows-down joyrides. Might have to replace the Mazda3 with an MX-5!
