How much we can accept peacefully all that is in the moment!. I think this refers to love!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I agree with Chopra!.

One's goals are relative to the other's however!. For example, if somebody's goal is to become a manager of McDonald's, and they reach that goal, then good!.

If somebody wants to be the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, then the same!.

Otherwise, if you aren't reaching your goals, then you are probably not very happy!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

The level and consistency of your happiness!. The happier you are the more fun you have and the better everyone does around you!. The longer you are happy, the longer your life will be!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
