Let\u2019s get started\u2026 ---------------------------------------------------------------- \u2b50 During this episode, we detail these takeaways:  1. Reality is objective, but perspective is subjective and may depend upon our frame-of-reference, and so our reference-points influence our perceptions, which influence our happiness.  2. Many qualities like wealth or achievement are relative across time-and-space.  3. Whenever we evaluate ourselves or evaluate others or compare ourselves with others, we should remember that each individual characteristic is merely a tiny part of a complex whole, that each of us usually succeeds better in some ways than in others, and that we don\u2019t normally perceive the entire truth about anyone.  4. \u201cThe grass is always greener where it\u2019s watered,\u201d so we should strive to nurture good desires and thoughts, acknowledge opportunity and find hope in it, and persistently learn-and-improve toward our potential, while remembering that some successes may require substantial sacrifices.  5. Whenever we obtain unnecessary material possessions that we want, we then \u201cneed\u201d to spend more on maintenance, we tend to grow accustomed to them and may even take them for granted, we may easily want more, and such desires can potentially spiral out-of-control unless we actively curb them while nurturing gratitude instead\u2014but genuine happiness is found not in stuff but in intangible things like self-improvement and experience and service, which reminds us that we\u2019re not the only people with problems. \u270d\ufe0f Click here for this episode\u2019s complete show notes! ---------------------------------------------------------------- \ud83d\udc49 We want to help as many people as we can; so, if this podcast helps you, then we urge you to please\u2026  \u2022 Subscribe to it on our website so that you don't miss an episode!  \u2022 Discuss it in our private Facebook group with us and fellow entrepreneurs!
