NOTE

Choose Your Status Game Wisely

Status is attributed differently across individuals and experiences, with meaningful contributions often overshadowed by superficial metrics of success. True achievement transcends wealth and conventional accolades, as demonstrated by figures like Pema Chodron, whose influence and trustworthiness prove her 'win' in life despite material scarcity. Engaging in more meaningful pursuits and recognizing the significance of emotional impact over societal standards can reshape one’s perspective on success.

Learning to navigate these differing games and prioritizing authentic connections are essential for personal growth.
