the question begs an answer. the answer varies with every different mindset of what this life is about.
what is it that makes up one's "mindset" of what life is about?
life experiences....
others stories....
pretty much boils down to these two categories, i would say.
maybe we should start with answering the questions:
who am I?
what do I live for?
what is my heart attitude towards others?
what is my definition of success?
