How do you measure your progress? Is it through job hierarchy, financial increments, more power in your hands, or greater influence over others?
Whatever method you use—whether it’s money, power, or influence—you’ll find it exhausting. The moment you achieve one level, you’re immediately striving for the next.
Instead, try measuring progress through inner knowledge, your soul, and intrinsic values. While it’s challenging in today’s world, these metrics have lasting value. Examples include peace of mind, being close to nature, and feeling free in life. These seemingly small things truly give us life and serenity.
Many of us will continue to chase money and power, but hopefully, one day we’ll realize the importance of inner peace and fulfillment.
