lyravi Posted July 11 #27 Posted July 11 its always funny how the richest people seem to spend all their time trying to feel less miserable, while broke people can find a good moment on a tuesday afternoon with nothin special happening. i guess if u can look back on most of your tuesdays and not cringe, you probably won already.
thoxique585 Posted July 11 #28 Posted July 11 If it aint riches then what would you point to first, like if someone asked you to prove your life was a win right now what would you show them?
ashick Posted July 11 #29 Posted July 11 man its def both, was sweating that six leg i threw on ravens + over last monday like the whole fourth quarter, pure luck it hit but that feeling lasted way longer than the cash. real success might be not needing that kinda stress to smile
sandanlor9 Posted July 11 #30 Posted July 11 honestly it feels like the second you define it one way you already missed the mark like the goalpost moves the momment you say it outloud. so if its not a fixed point do you think chasing a defintion is the trap itself?
shredolnda4 Posted July 11 #31 Posted July 11 If ya measure success by peace of mind, not numbers, try this quick exercise: write down 3 moments this week where you felt truly good even if no one clapped or paid you. The clarity from that beats chasing some big invisible "enough" forever.
homoolssa42 Posted July 12 #32 Posted July 12 i think its waking up not dreading the day, riches or not that feels like the real win
zyxenver059 Posted July 12 #33 Posted July 12 tbh i think ppl overthink it, for me success is just when i can wake up and not dread the day ahead. kinda wild how rare that actually is even with decent money
thornumry Posted July 12 #34 Posted July 12 My neighbour won a massive jackpot a few years back and bought a flashy car but I swear he looked way more content yesterday just chilling on his porch with his dog and a cheap coffee. Kinda shows the riches are just a side quest not the main goal
Synkamia Posted Monday at 03:34 PM #37 Posted Monday at 03:34 PM I see it as a split between having a fat wallet and having actual peace of mind, and id rather take waking up wtih zero dread over a bloated bank account any day because ive seen rich dudes who cant even enjoy a quiet tuesday without stressing about the next deal collapsing
ladyiowyn Posted Monday at 05:24 PM #38 Posted Monday at 05:24 PM hard to measure tbh but I sorta just look at how much I still stress about random stuff cos if you got all the loot and still wake up in panic mode did you really win? feels like the money is just a side thing for baseline survival tbh
Ashiotia Posted Monday at 11:38 PM #39 Posted Monday at 11:38 PM I'd take that tomato growing uncle over the stressed banker any day, cause what's the point of a fat bank account if your haelth and happiness are in the red. Being rich in time and peace just hits diffrent than being rich in stuff
