There’s a song lyric swimming in my head that goes “if it’s the simple things that matter, why don’t we live our lives that way?”

It’s great to have goals and to strive to meet them, but if one bases happiness on their ‘success’ (or a measure of their wealth), could they ever be truly happy?  Also, if they are constantly comparing their success to the success of others, surely they’ll miss the simple things!
