Do you believe living happy is more important than reach your potential/striving for success?

Cause I kinda think someone should live happy rather than just strive for success/full potential while also being stressed, sad....or am I wrong to think this? what do you think? Cause tbh I'm confused and at the same time does successfull beat happy?

You're not wrong. There is no "right" and "wrong" when it comes to this subject. Whatever works for you... Except you're living in a world-culture that values "work" and "success" over quality of life, and most people don't challenge it, so you may choose. Sometimes we have to make sacrifices in order to find our own satisfaction, especially if our idea of success differs from the norm. You may define your own idea of success. And you might have to work the system for a while, to eventually get what you want. That's what I'm gonna have to do, because I was not born rich, and I'll need enough money to survive on, regular healthcare, that kind of thing. What makes you happy?

I don't believe you can have one without some percentage of the other.
There's no reason you can't be happy and successful. :)

happy is good but usually requires Money to attain also

@FurryFace Yes but let's say this persons happy is instead working to obtain said money but it will take them quite a while, and if they took the path to pursue their full potential and success they would obtain it much quicker....also if theirs people who want the person to be said success and reach their potential...but they'd rather be happy by doing something else
