On Complacency and Happiness
In this culture of pushing and working hard, the speaker invites us to examine what we truly want from our lives. Rather than pursuing external achievements, the speaker desires a deep sense of peace and equanimity. They have realized that working hard and chasing success does not lead to happiness, but rather leaves them tired, cranky, and disconnected. As a result, they have shifted their focus to smaller, more intimate forms of teaching and mentoring, where they can support others individually and in small groups. This change has brought them happiness and a sense of grounding. They have come to realize that they get to determine what is enough for themselves, regardless of societal expectations or opinions.
