 Whenever you feel good at something, take a moment to remind yourself that people can solve rubiks cubes in three seconds, or shoot pro arrow shots on horseback, or weld a complex thing while underwater.

Financial benefits often consolidate toward a few professions, but happiness itself tends to spread more broadly and is only partially correlated with monetary success. nostr:note182lxku4dk78cu0n4rlerm5lz8vlffpj474hr7kj8sph64wjr5tvsx4nnp9

 An objective definition of 'happiness' does not exist. It is a  human construct and as we all know we are programmed more for subjectivity than objectivity for our own survival. therefore it follows that each of us experience happiness or whatever we may call it very differently from each other and are heavily influenced by what is fed into this reaction engine that we all refer to as a mind.

Work your ass off to be your best.
But be satisfied with what you are.
