There are two paths to happiness: one is achieving success and satisfying material needs, and the other is not wanting anything in the first place.

Success is defined by two factors: making a meaningful contribution to others and recognizing that happiness is often fleeting and can be misleading.

The desire to be successful often contradicts the desire to be happy, and we must learn to balance both.

Happiness is about being okay with where you are and not needing external changes to feel fulfilled; it's about recognizing that nothing is missing in the moment.

The pursuit of happiness should not be tied to success; instead, focusing on being happy can lead to a more fulfilling life.

Many people sacrifice their happiness in pursuit of success, thinking that once they achieve success, they will finally be happy. However, I've found that the happier I become, the more successful I am, as happiness drives me to engage in activities that align with my strengths.

Being happier can actually lead to greater success, but your definition of success may evolve over time.

True fulfillment often comes from focusing on being of service rather than chasing recognition or success.

The pursuit of happiness can lead to anxiety if everything goes as expected, while too much unpredictability can also be overwhelming. Life's fulfillment lies in balancing these two extremes.
