What if the secret to a happy life is wanting less? ❤️

@morganhousel believes we overestimate how much success and money will improve our lives, while underestimating the value of good health, close friendships and contentment.

He describes the happiest person as someone with an ordinary life, surrounded by people they love, who feels no need to constantly chase the next big thing.

Because when you look back on your life, it may be the moments you enjoyed, not the success you achieved, that matter most.

Are you chasing more, or enjoying what you already have?

Totally disagree with that. I think those that settle for a normal life are totally miserable. I think the happiest people are those with freedoms. The digital nomads. The people who chase dreams and make them happen.
