You can’t buy “success” and “happiness” at once.

It’s almost impossible for both to happen at the same time.

“Happiness through success” is the most preposterous idea there is.

If you want success — get success.

If you want happiness — BE happy.

Anything-through-something-else is just distraction.

Not unlike you will have to choose if you’d rather be approved of (”success”), or choose yourself (”happiness”, “truth”).

Not unlikely you will reject the entire idea of the wordly success.

Not unlikely it will come anyway – for it’s a rare man who can choose himself.

But please beware of the “success=happiness” purveyors.

Let them do their thing but know this won’t help you find yourself.
