“Don’t let your happiness depend on something you may lose.” – C.S. Lewis
You can lose your money, your job, your notoriety, but if you treat people right, you can’t lose your character. That can’t be taken away from anyone except you and the decisions you make.
Your character is more important than what your job title is or how much you make. Does it matter how much money you accumulate or if you become famous? You can’t take the money with you when you die and if you’re searching for glory through fame, you’ll find it’s an ongoing battle. If you stop for even a little bit, someone else will do something that goes viral and you’ll be out of the limelight again.
Don’t wrap up your identity in your material successes – how much “stuff” you have, the size of your home, the money that you’ve earned and accumulated, etc. What really matters is your character – who you truly are and your ability to treat yourself and others the right way. Focus on that and you’ll be alright.
