If you’re a big fan philosophy or stoicism, but you haven’t read the book of Ecclesiastes… … let me explain why Meditations by Marcus Aurelius could be butt wiping paper compared to Ecclesiastes. (And how you're about to understand the most timeless and clear business advice you’ve ever gotten from the wisest man to walk the planet earth). HERE’S THE BACKSTORY 👇Ecclesiastes was written by King Solomon. Son of King David (from David & Goliath). And he basically got the golden ticket in life... The gist is... God offers him anything he wants, and instead of asking for sacks of cash or immortality, he asks for wisdom to rule well. God’s impressed, gives him that wisdom, and throws in cash and fame too. So this guy starts out with everything... brains, broads, and buckets of dolla dolla bills. AND HE FREAKING USED IT…He built the First Temple in Jerusalem... He expanded trade routes, made alliances, accumulated more insane wealth (gold, ivory, exotic animals shipped in from all over). Rulers from other nations literally traveled to see if the rumors about his wisdom were true (that’s the Queen of Sheba story). He wrote poetry, songs, proverbs (which all became part of the Bible itself) — the guy was a Renaissance man before that was a thing. BUT HE HAD A DARK SIDE TOO… 😈He also went hella hard on personal vices… The Bible says he had hundreds of wives and concubines (side chicks)… built massive personal projects like temples for himself… threw himself into pleasure, entertainment, luxury… loading himself down with Rolexes and Ferraris. Basically, he ran every lifemaxxing experiment a human being could run on “will this make me happy?” Then at the end of his life, he wrote a book on how that experiment went. That’s the book of Ecclesiastes. And it just so happens that this morning, I was frolicking through the pages of Ecclesiastes when I said this from Chapter 3: There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace. I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God. There is nothing better for a person than to enjoy their work, because that is their lot. Notice how he repeats the “enjoy your work” twice. Basically after banging chicks, building temples and having a bigger following than Mr.Beast — the wisest guy on earth is like: Man, just enjoy your work. Cook a nice steak when you’re done. And be happy with what you're working on. I don’t talk about this often but this is one of core reasons I started CopyCreator Club. I feel like my personal calling in life is to help people find enjoyment in their work, therefore happiness in their life. That’s not super sexy for a sales page, but it means a lot to me. It’s exactly why I write emails like this while on vacation at the beach right now. Cause I actually enjoy it! I love writing. I love selling. I love the God let’s me do this. And if you’re interested in figuring out how you can do the same for your life… CHECKOUT COPYCREATOR CLUB HERE.☝️☝️☝️ Hope this inspired you. Your friend, Alin “Professional Life Enjoyer” Dragu P.S.
