What if achieving financial success still leaves you feeling empty inside?
This powerful testimonial from Santa Clara Meditation shares the journey of a successful entrepreneur who had everything—wealth, business success, and stability—yet still struggled with deep inner emptiness.
Through this meditation, he discovered that true fulfillment does not come from money, but from letting go of attachment and finding one’s true self.
đź’¬ Meditation Testimonial: Letting Go of Money Means Letting Go of Attachment
By Ki Hyun S. | Entrepreneur
Ki Hyun Song, CEO of a Korea-France joint venture construction company with world-class technology, had already achieved what many would envy before even reaching his 40s—high income, property, and financial stability.
He was known as someone who worked sincerely from the lowest position, always giving his best. Opportunities naturally came to him, and so did money.
But that is where his inner struggle began.
Despite his success, he felt an emptiness that money could not fill. That emptiness eventually led him to this meditation, where he began to reflect deeply on life, money, and true happiness.
A Strong Business Without Debt or Recession
For 18 years, he has successfully run a construction company—an industry known for economic fluctuations. Yet his company has three things it does not have: no debt, no bankruptcy, and no recession.
People often ask him:
“How do you make money like that?”
“How do you run a business without debt?”
He answers simply:
“Money doesn’t come from chasing it.
If you focus on doing your work sincerely, it naturally follows.
Money is simply the result of how you have lived your life.”
Achieving Everything, Yet Feeling Empty
Born in a small rural village, he grew up in hardship after losing his mother and facing financial struggles.
Determined to change his life, he worked tirelessly—studying, earning certifications, and dedicating himself fully to his work.
Eventually, he achieved success—career advancement, financial stability, property ownership, and a loving family.
But despite achieving everything he had once dreamed of, he was not happy.
He suffered from chronic fatigue, insomnia, and stress. Even after trying counseling and medical help, the emptiness remained.
“The happiness from making money disappears quickly.
Even after achieving everything, I wasn’t happy.”
Choosing to Find the True Self
Since childhood, he had carried deep questions:
Who am I?
Where did I come from?
Why do I live?
One day, he came across information about this meditation and felt certain it could provide the answers he had been searching for.
In 2001, he began practicing this meditation.
As he reflected on his life, he realized that everything he had done—even what he believed to be “good”—was ultimately for himself.
At the age of 45, he made a bold decision to step away from his successful career in order to find his true self.
Discovering Something Greater Than Money
Three months into this meditation, his company asked him to return.
But he had already gained something far more valuable—something that could not be measured in money.
Through this meditation, his lifelong questions about existence were resolved, and he began to understand the root causes of his suffering.
His health improved dramatically.
“I have never felt this healthy in my life.”
When Nothing Is Mine, Everything Becomes Mine
One of the greatest realizations he had was this:
Nothing truly belongs to him.
His success was made possible by the people around him—employees, partners, and society itself.
“Money and wealth are meant to be used for the world.”
He realized that money is a form of energy.
When you cling to it, it remains limited.
When you share it, it flows and expands.
A New Way of Living and Leading
His mindset toward business and people completely changed.
He began supporting employees—helping them pursue education and even encouraging those who wanted to practice this meditation.
“Letting go of money means letting go of attachment to material things.
It means using what you have for the world.”
Three Principles for Life and Work
1. Poverty Is a Great Teacher
Hardship builds patience, responsibility, and resilience.
2. Empty Your Mind in Difficult Times
When you let go of pride, you can work anywhere sincerely—and opportunities will follow.
3. Do Not Be Greedy
Sustainable and balanced growth matters more than rapid expansion.
