There are basic needs and then there is desiring and craving things you think you need.
It won’t bring you happiness in the long run. it will bring you momentary happiness and then you crave again. Luke a hungry ghost.
Hard work is gratifying, and when the deed is done you can momentarily wallow in the satisfaction, but then the work is never done and you continue grafting forever.
You need to accept and love yourself as you are.
To me,
Being successful is being a good role model.
But not wen its overwhelming. I compare myself to my sister a lot cos she’s always around n so loud n stuff n it only brings me down mainly cos I gt overwhelmed
Thankyou.

Yes you are right money makes you unhappy and desires. Better pray for nothingness
I am ending this thread …it’s not successful 
Some people have said turning up is half the battle.
Comparison is the thief of joy.
Identify what makes you happy! Real things like friends, hobbies, and actions. Find them in yourself, do them and do not care what others think.
Be happy in your own skin.
There was a guy on question time who complained that even though he earned over 80k a year, didn’t think he was wealthy. He rubbished Labour for taxing him because he compared himself to the likes of the millionaires. The millionaires are the same, they compare themselves to billionaires and think they are poor. It is now a race to become a trillionaire and the billionaires will think they are poor again.
It is a tedious game without any of them realising what they have. This comparison when they have everything will never satisfy them. They are lost and unhappy even when they have everything they could ever dream of.
Once your basic needs are met, meditation, exercise and a healthy social life is pretty much all you need, but gaining that can be harder than one may think.
Yes it’s so hard to gain a social life wen not comfortable in your own skin.
But social life is so important
I’m working on being more comfortable in my own skin
Being able to accept failures as they come, and not giving up
There’s a song that says happiness is wen u want wat u get.
And osho said joy is immense acceptance.
Just throwing it out there
Slightly off topic sorry…
I’ve achieved a lot of my dreams. I think you have to have clear dreams. A real good picture in your mind of what you want to happen and where you want to be in life and then, go after it with ALL of your gusto. And don’t stop until you’ve achieved it. And, no matter how difficult it all seems.
Luck, help, and hard work.
