Anyone can achieve happiness and satisfaction starting from this moment, and it’s not magic but a fact. Philosophy is not just a field of study but a living attitude. Don’t live to please others or expect them to please you. Don’t fear judgment or seek recognition from others. Choose the path that aligns with your beliefs and is best for you, balancing self-reliance and living in harmony with society.

The only worthwhile comparison is our previous self.

Respect means allowing others to grow and unfold as they are without negating or forcing anything. Accepting and valuing others as they are can lead to tremendous courage and serve as the starting point of encouragement. Possessions and income should not determine self-worth, as pursuing wealth can bring less and less satisfaction. Prioritizing wealth and success above deeper values can lead to a shallow existence. Life can be challenging, and positivity may not solve problems. We must make choices and accept or reject things that align or contradict our values.

Happiness depends on our interpretation of events and not external factors. It’s a prolonged state rather than a temporary mood. We have more information than any previous generation but are further from the correct answers. The only worthwhile comparison is our previous self. Expressing gratitude is a simple yet effective way to increase happiness. Live according to your inner world, and happiness will follow.
