36. Define exactly what happiness and wealth mean to you
No two human beings are the same. Even you and your wife or husband have different views in life. So really, why should there be a singular standard of success? If you try to measure up to society’s standard of success, chances are, there’ll always be someone better than you and you’ll never be satisfied.
So, instead of putting yourself in such an unhappy position, recognize that you yourself define what wealth and happiness mean to you. By doing so, you know exactly what you want and you don’t end up getting stuck in the perpetual cycle of comparing ourselves and competing with other people.
