Courage to change your life.
The thing is your mindset and how you manage your feeling of inferiority.
All people have feeling of inferiority, all. However is how you manage this feeling is the main difference if you go up in life or you remain stuck.
Example: if you see your lack of education as âthe reason whyâ you can not succeed in life, so you have a âcomplex of inferiority â, which means a condition that you want to do not change your life, you want to live your life as it is, because you feel comfortable with your spare time, happy with your hobbies, with your food, your belongings, etc; so you donât have the courage to change this lifestyle, basically because you want it. You want to not change tour life.
In the other hand if you see your lack of your education as the opportunity to change your life. If a I were well educated I could be very successful. The problem is that you have to leave your comfort zone behind and have the COURAGE to get out of this zone and take the opportunity.
My reflection is what is âsuccessâ, if is money, so this mindset is powerfull, because is in you to control your lifeâs direction, independent of your traumas, wealth and expectations of others.
But if is not money and is âpaceâ, happiness, what happened. Well happiness is tied to the money in certain ways. The question is can you be happier without money? Could be, but you have to be very intelligent and self conscious of the meaning of life to understand and to not suffer the lack of things, like a monk. But maybe you will need more courage to get this kind of wisdom.
But, are there a sweet spot? I think yes. The facts said that the happiness is little bit above a âsmart wealthy benchmarkâ where the basic needs are fulfilled and you have the stability to get into the arts, knowledge, sports, and the capacity to buy things that make you happy. So you can focus in the develop of the just enough courage that allows you to get the enough success to have you plenty lifestyle that makes you very very happy.
However be careful because the fact said also that there are so little difference between the âsmart benchmarkâ and a âhigh wealthy benchmarkâ in terms of happiness. Ex, someone who has a Porche is not so much happier than someone who has a Jetta. But it is so different the courage, determination and the cost of life that you have to sacrifice in order to have a Porche.
So the trap is constantly chase the success and to push the bar higher and higher with courage, because your happiness wonât be significant different but the cost of your life do.
