Is Happiness a Measure of Success?

Finding Fulfillment in a World of Calculation and Comparison

Lose happiness, due to greed; lose health, due to business; lose trust, due to doubt; and lose friendship, due to calculation.

There are no conflicts, everything is relaxed, nothing competes, the way is easy, one does not search with one’s heart, and life is calm.

Autism means everyone has their own way which is okay, and do not need to live like someone else. Despite their pretty face some people are known to cry so much so that they could shed countless tears. Some people look as if they are immersed in shame, but they are happy leading carefree lives.

To be happy is always unique, and there is nothing wrong with it because there are various ways to be happy. Stop measuring others and start measuring yourself. The functioning you like is the best functioning and the life you want is the best life.

And here is the truly terrifying fact of which we do not seem to become aware: we are growing old and we are weary. We should be able to relax when we are tired. Our health is important. When we are sleepy, then we can work when we are to work, or we are to rest when we are supposed to be resting. Don’t stay up all night. As dictated by our feeling, when we are hungry, then we should eat, when we should. Don’t save anymore.

This is a fact proving that life is short, we don’t realize how fast it flies by. Looking for ways to motivate your employees, don’t save the good things till the last. If you are saving things, you will not be getting things.

Do not approach antagonists, do not use foul language with your kinfolk, do not fight yourself, and do not allow yourself to be sad or overtaken by anger. Exist one day for happiness, exist one day for comfort, do not seek to mend what has been broken, and do not listen to idiocy.
