First of all, happiness is not the same thing for everyone. People are different and value different things. True happiness comes from within! People around you will most likely play a huge role in your happiness(but then again, some people can be happy on their own). Materialistic things and “success”(which is defined differently by different people) do not equal happiness for the majority. They bring satisfaction and a good feeling, but they do not promote happiness in the long term(exceptions exist of course). Don’t lose sight of what you truly value and what matters to you. “Success”, money, materialistic things come and go, but you are still you and ultimately only you can make yourself happy. Don’t let media cloud your mind with BS. Do what makes you happy, surround yourself with people you love and don’t sacrifice yourself or your relationships to impress a nonexistent audience!

That being said, everyone should have motivation to be better! Money and materialism are not bad things. We need money to survive(at least in the western world). However, people seem to be affected too much by it and it leads to depression and self dissatisfaction. There is a balance. At the end of the day, we all came from earth and will return back to earth regardless of what we have accomplished. Be happy and thankful for what you have, but strive to be better. Strive to be a better friend, better parent, better sibling, better child, better person, better at what you do, overall just try to be better than you were yesterday because one day you will not see a tomorrow.

Have a great day!
