I think we need to re-define our expectations to make reality more suitable for us...

In the modern world we've turned ourselves into hedonists who only focus on one thing: Materialist accomplishments.

This is bad in more ways than I can name...

Firstly when we obsess over materialistic goals, we end up never achieving them... For me I became infinitely happier when I started obsessing over becoming:

He who can achieve

Instead of actually achieving...

I realized true growth comes from moving from your current self to your ideal self.
