The dangers of chasing success

We live in a society that values wealth above all else. It has conditioned us to believe that only those who reach financial stability or freedom can be happy. Therefore, we work day and night, exhausting our health and inner peace.Nothing is wrong with desiring to drive the best cars, live in a mansion, or be at the top of your career. But you must care for yourself while working towards your goal and ensure it stays in line with your inner desires.True success reflects wellness in every area of your life. This success comes to those who enjoy their job, love their family, and care for their body. If any of these spheres shatter, it can destroy the rest. Thus, your six-digit bank account may save you from external poverty but not from the sense of loneliness and devastation. Money is only a part of the equation. Nevertheless, failure to provide for yourself and your family leads to frustration and pain. That’s why while money is significant, it’s a side effect of prosperity, not its essence. Fortunately, progress in your life spheres is a matter of choice.
