I Got Paid to Travel to Mexico and It Almost Ruined Me

I got flown to Mexico three times in six months to make videos for a wellness retreat company. Private villa, butler on the beach, drone flights over pyramids at sunrise. It was everything I thought I wanted. I cried on the plane home. For a whole year I fixated on one goal: work on projects I'd pay to work on, with people I'd pay to work with. I got exactly that, faster than I expected. And sitting on a beach in Tulum I realized I had aimed at the wrong thing entirely. This is what happened when I chased the influencer lifestyle at 23, almost lost myself in it, and came home to rebuild with a completely different intention. Be careful what you fixate on, because thoughts become things. Instagram: instagram.com/coryenglehardt YouTube:    / @coryenglehardt   LinkedIn:   / cory-englehardt-63121618b
