"Fame or integrity: which is more important?

    Money or happiness: which is more valuable?

    Success of failure: which is more destructive?

    If you look to others for fulfilment,

    you will never truly be fulfilled.

    If your happiness depends on money,

    you will never be happy with yourself.

    Be content with what you have;

    rejoice in the way things are

    When you realise there is nothing lacking,

    the whole world belongs to you."

    – Lao Tzu

      We are not too bad. In the west we are in relative safety and we have all the knowlege of mankind to learn and better ourselves. Its not a bad time to be alive

      If you’re not constantly seeking more (money, status, validation, etc.) you’re harder to manipulate. Simplicity becomes power. You choose what to focus on, rather than being told what matters.

      The quiet truth behind all the noise in life is you define the meaning of it all. The world offers endless paths but only you can decide which one (or which mix) matters.
