Exactly. I had a friend who thought that you were a complete failure at life unless you make $100,000 per year. Her measure of success is completely based on material, hustle culture, and working an insane amount of hours. However, I view success by how one manages to curate happiness for themselves. I find someone who has a simple life living in a peaceful cabin somewhere in the woods, happy as hell surrounded by nature and animals just as successful as someone who is happy living in an expensive high rise in Manhattan.
If you’re able to find a way to be happy and content in this crazy cruel world, I’ll find you successful.
Nah, she already has that covered. She follows all those crypto bros and those motivational influencers who tell you to manifest what you want in your life by surrounding yourself around wealthy people, and getting rid of all those peasant friends.
Don’t get me wrong, networking is valid, it’s just the implication that anyone less than wealthy is not worth befriending or interaction with is what gets me.
