Understanding Happiness Equation: Wanting Less, Not Having More
Achieving satisfaction is not about accumulating more possessions endlessly. Instead, it is defined by the things you have divided by the things you desire. The path to lasting satisfaction involves managing the denominator of your satisfaction equation, not just increasing the numerator. This means becoming content by reducing your desires, leading to a more fulfilling life.
