Amazing read:
It’s a shame we fall prey to materialistic thinking because we certainly know better. A study by Strayer University found that 90% of Americans believe happiness is a bigger indicator of success than power, possessions, or prestige.

Only 20% stated that monetary wealth determines success.

As of now, my definition of success in life is 'Balance'. A sense of balance, centredness and inner peace.

Helpful Resources:
1. Tao Te Ching:
Verse 44: Living by Knowing When to Stop
Verse 46: Living Peacefully
