The purpose of our existence is to seek happiness.
Happiness is determined more by one's state of mind than by external events.
In fact, whether we are feeling happy or unhappy at any given moment often has very little to do with our absolute conditions but, rather it is a function of how we are perceive our situation, how satisfied we are with what we have.
Our feelings of contentment are strongly influenced by our tendency to compare.
Once basic needs are met, the message is clear: we don't need more money, we don't need greater success or fame, we don't need the perfect body or even the perfect mate -- right now, at this very moment, we have a mind, which is all the basic equipment we need to achieve complete happiness.
