The Essence of Life Management

Effective living is rooted in how well individuals manage themselves and their environments. Life can be seen as a form of management, where proper handling of one’s body, mind, and emotions is crucial to overall quality of life. The prevailing focus on economic management in society often overshadows the importance of self-management, which leads to dissatisfaction and unhappiness. Recognizing that external success is not synonymous with personal fulfillment is vital, as many individuals find themselves unfulfilled despite achieving external goals.
