We get most bitterly envious of the uncharismatic person who achieves great success because if they can be so successful, what does that say about why we aren’t?
Sometimes keeping low expectations from others can help you to stay happy.
A lil bit of detachment from the outer world can keep your mind calm & happy because the secret of happiness is not found in seeking more, but in developing the capacity to enjoy less.
With you,
it is like walking
on the edge of a precipice.
At first there's fear.
After that one enjoys the sharp wind
blowing from afar.
Then follows love,
a stimulating aphrodisiac.
And later ends with ruin.
The ruin of oneself
into nothingness but your thoughts.
In the laughter of your love,
In the pain of its loss,
In the ambitions you seek
And the failures you find,
In the charities you do
And the images you build,
In the experiences you seek
With the time you save,
There's no life to be found.
Life begins when you
Understand yourself
