The most decisive factors in life are not to be well-spoken, nor rich, nor to hold positions of honor or authority. When all these superficial qualities have been stripped away, what is left? It is our nature and character as human being-our personality. Happiness is not determined by outward Appearances.
Ultimately, happiness rest on how you established your own solid self or sense of being . Happiness based on such externals as possessing a fine house or a good reputation is "relative happiness. "It is not firm, unchanging "absolute happiness" A person can be in what appears to others as the most fortunate circumstances, but if that person feels only emptiness and pain, then he or she cannot be considered happy.
There are people who live in truly splendid houses but who do nothing but fight in them. There are people who work for famous companies and enjoy a prestige that many envy but who are always being shouted at by their superiors, left exhausted from heavy work demands and rendered sick and weary of life.
What matters is what you yourself feel inside; It is a deep answering response in your life. To be filled each day with a rewarding sense of exhilaration and purpose, a sense of task accomplished and deep fulfilment.
