Chapter 1: Avoiding the Fallacy of Associating Success with Wealth

Truly brilliant minds link their success with aspects such as joy, inner serenity, and positive actions, rather than solely focusing on money (and this is not a cliché). It is true that money can bring more opportunities, reduce stress, and provide mental clarity. However, successful individuals understand that material fortune cannot generate true happiness if one is not capable of experiencing it internally.

There are individuals who possess financial abundance, while others find happiness in their essence. The disparity lies in the ability to discern the essential from the significant in life.

Every day, I encounter people who, despite their economic prosperity, do not experience authentic happiness. They try to pretend and even spend to make others believe they have triumphed in life. This is even more notable in those who inherit wealth or solely depend on family fortunes.

The notion of success is relative. Nowadays, we face the problem of measuring it in terms of monetary accumulation. Often, we associate success with a ranking based on numbers and lose sight of the essential: the pursuit of happiness.

Some people even measure their success by the money spent. Owning a luxurious vehicle, taking numerous trips, residing in a grand house, sending children to prestigious schools—all of this translates to expenses. But will they be able to live tranquilly and without difficulties when they retire? Or worse yet, when they lose their jobs?

The ability to manage stress could be considered an indicator of success. Unfortunately, I observe that the more people try to portray success, the higher levels of stress seem to accompany them. Sometimes, I wonder if they believe that displaying more stress equates to displaying greater success.

I understand that measuring success is a complex task, but I am not addressing myself here; rather, I am speaking to those who measure it based on their assets, leading us to believe it is merely a number. To those who sell us the idea that the car we drive or the social club we belong to determines our success. To those who urge us to acquire goods and services to demonstrate the success we possess, or rather, the success we believe we deserve.

My point is that instead of measuring success in global terms, we could approach it individually. What was your concept of success when you were young? If you have achieved that goal, then you are already successful.

I understand that some do not set limits and aspire to be the richest people in the world. However, frustration will eventually catch up with them. It's worth remembering that there's only one richest person each year, and I can assure you that most people in the world won't be that person; after all, one is among over seven billion.

I can guarantee you that most people over the age of 50 did not have a precise notion of what they would achieve, perhaps they didn't even consider it. Nevertheless, they have experienced much greater success than they had dreamed of. Are they enjoying their success? And even more importantly, have they enjoyed the journey toward their accomplishments?

It's not about competing with others, but about enjoying what we build as we construct it—a feat that ranks among my greatest successes. Not all of us will achieve super wealth, but we can achieve success.

Some individuals observe their achievements and feel they have traversed a path full of sacrifices. Personally, I don't seek those achievements; I prefer internal happiness and the ability to radiate it to those around me.

TIPS TO AVOID THE ASSOCIATION BETWEEN SUCCESS AND MONEY

Appropriate Knowledge: Gain a proper understanding of success and money to achieve your goals.

Personal Definition of Success: Success lies in living according to your values, setting your own goals, and making your own decisions.

Value of Time: Time is extremely valuable today due to its scarcity. Autonomy provides the flexibility to manage, save, and spend your hours according to your own criteria—a quality that far surpasses the value of
