Just my thoughts #0322

When individuals who have successfully overcome adversity and achieved social recognition view the world through their ability to conquer personal struggles, challenges emerge. Seeing the experience of overcoming hardships through diligent effort as an opportunity to cultivate genuine self-confidence enhances positive self-esteem. However, evaluating everything in the world solely from that perspective can lead to significant difficulties for both yourself and others. My success may change me, but there are no guaranteed formulas to positively impact the world. Success holds value when it becomes an internal celebration within me. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”

Just my thoughts #0107

Happiness and satisfaction are two distinct concepts. It is a fact that poverty deprives happiness. What is also a fact is that earning more than a certain amount of money does not increase happiness. Social science research has proven this. But satisfaction is a different matter entirely. Satisfaction is directly linked to achieving social goals. It is a myth that more money will make you happier. Happiness is about having the right money and friends. But satisfaction comes from achieving your goals. It is a simple fact that humans live a completely different life depending on whether their living standards are happiness or satisfaction. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
