Do you have your own house, good bank balance, high-paying job and a personal car?. “No”.
Do you have lots of family property?.“No” Not even a single piece of land.
Are you handsome?. Not at all.
Are you unhappy about your life?

He replied, “No. I am not unhappy about my life. I am truly a very happy person. I have accepted myself. Moreover, I am enjoying every moment of my life despite lots of limitations. Happiness does not depend on traveling several countries, physical beauty, property, cars, high-paying job and a girlfriend. It depends on you. I live in the moment, lead a simple life, work hard, love my parents, spend quality time with my family and friends, explore my country, help people, meditate, run, chase my passion and do what I love to do”.

“Very little is needed to make a happy life, it is all within yourself; in your way of thinking”. – Marcus Aurelius
