There is no action you can take, no goal you can achieve, no possession you can own, no person you can marry, no career you can have, no amount of goodness you can do that will bring you the modern idea of "happiness".
The amount of good days and bad days will differ very little between the rich man and the poor man.
There is no finish line, it is physically impossible to obtain this kind of happiness our culture says you’re suppose to have anyway.
This is why we must adopt a good attitude, toward everyone and everything.
We must detach ourselves from possessions, and not put the responsibility of our own "happiness" on someone else’s shoulders, they can't give it to you anymore than you can give it to yourself.
Don’t worry about collecting so much money, it really isn’t that important.
Even your children can live without cable, the latest gadgets, and a huge house. All you need to afford are the basics, working to earn to much more than that is time that could have been spent with family. And the extra money you do earn, should be spent on experiences, not things.
