More wealth doesn't always bring more happiness; true joy comes from a clear purpose

- SURESH SADAGOPAN

We've all heard it before—"You can become anything in life if you really want to." But what if the real problem isn't effort or ambition, but not knowing what we truly want? Many people spend their lives chasing wealth, believing it to be the ultimate measure of success. Yet, despite amassing fortunes, they find themselves unfulfilled. Is money really the key to happiness, or is there something more?

Money as a measure of success: In today's world, success is often equated with wealth and material possessions. While it is true that money plays a crucial role in fulfilling goals and aspirations, for many, the pursuit of wealth becomes the primary focus of life. This obsession with accumulating money, acquiring property, and chasing financial milestones often stems from a belief that wealth defines success and even life's purpose. However, this relentless pursuit can create more problems than it solves.
