Success In Wonderland: A Tale Of Two worlds

We are all at some point in our lives searching for the keys to happiness. It is inculcated in us to endeavor to do our best in school, work, our friendships, and relationships. What we often find to be challenging is working out the difference between what we believe will make us happy, and what actually does make us happy. When these two are tangled, we find ourselves chasing that infinite loop with the never-ending rainbow.

Not only the lifestyle but our social media also creates an expectation of how happiness is measured by promoting our lives online. Whether it’s your friends showing off their latest car, or a lavish lifestyle, exotic vacation all of which invites a lot of stress in order to struggle to stand out or flaunt the things. Which in turn is not human-friendly.

Lemons and Lemonade theory:
emons and Lemonade because that’s a very simple thing to make out of a simple single thing. You wouldn’t eat lemons as they are but with a squeeze and a little sugar it's a delicious refreshing cheerful drink.

So it means if life gives you something that appears to be unusable, turn it into something good. But that doesn’t mean turn lemons into a five-star resort’s mojito.

Everybody’s talking about wanting that and not needing this.
The unrealistic optimism stems in part from the fact that people have started pinning their hopes on a Social Breakthrough.

I talk to myself that that’s the worst feedback I can get about myself from myself is, “I don’t want to be fine. I want to be great, to be excellent, to be amazing, to be marvelous.” As per social breakthrough, It is almost offensive to say to oneself “I will be “fine” because it sounded like mediocrity.

We still need to figure out how to live in this world, now, and that means embracing, finally, all the strategies for fighting the inner peace

It’s worth remembering that the time you are given here on this earth is more valuable than anything else you will ever have; more valuable than any stable job, expensive car, big bank balance, or status.
It’s too valuable to waste days of complaining or refusing to get out of bed because you’re impatient of waiting for things to be extraordinary rather than simple and easy.

One thing I’ve noticed all the greats have in common is they really think they’re special. I don’t mean that in an “I’m better than you” sort of way; they just play by their own rules. And they really couldn’t care less about how things are done or should be done. That’s why they often accomplish what others say can’t be done. Thinking you’re special can be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

“If you see success as a single goal, I doubt if you’ll ever achieve it. But if doing great work is simply what you love to do, then I’m sure you’ll be successful.”
