Day 188

Human eyes are never satisfied.—Proverbs 27:20

Brainy Tip: You are as content as you want to be.

The fact that the brain can change (neuroplasticity) and rebuild new nerve cells (neurogenesis) is both exciting and incredibly hopeful! It means happiness comes from within and success follows—not the other way around.

Indeed, you don’t have to have the latest iPhone, or Mercedes sedan, or a 62-inch television to be happy. You are not a slave to how many likes you get on Instagram. You are not happy only if you have a six-figure income. You are as happy and content as you want to be, right now, right where you are in life. Relying on possessions that eventually lose their value or the fleeting approval of people will leave you in a dark place—such desires will never satisfy.
