Become less focused on material things, and think of emotional and self gratification first. Things like friendships, family, support, fun, self satisfaction should be higher on your list than wealth, fame or a career. These last 3 things is what most people want, these 3 things does not give you HAPPINESS, it just makes you more powerful and have more things... when in fact if everyone rise above the government and do what they want within moral reasoning they can have anything free of charge, because currency would not and should not exist.
those who cannot see what I am trying to say, are looking for an easy way out of their own life choices, unfortunately for the best things in life, there is no easy way, for a hard life there is an easy way.
Because easiness is harder than hard work, as strange as it sounds. Sit back and think deeply to understand my words, look into everything, do not just see the flesh of what I am saying, go deeper into the veins and bone.

I agree that happiness comes from non-materialistic pursuits, anyone can buy something they want if they put their mind to it....but this does not buy happiness! True happiness and fulfillment in life comes from the heart. Love brings joy and happiness to not only the person giving it, but everyone around them!
Working hard almost always brings misery and suffering if there is no real satisfaction behind it. If we are not doing something in which we give or receive love, then we look to material things such as money or possessions to give us short term "happiness". This is just illusion, it's very saddening that the majority of "modern civilization" is trapped under this spell. Only activities in the MODE OF GOODNESS will elevate us into bliss and true, lasting happiness.
We have complete control over our lives here because of our CHOICE to be here. This does not mean we can do anything we want without repercussions.
The universal powers that be always maintain balance, for every action there is reaction, this is universal law. Since we have free will, it is our choice on whether we choose goodness over evil. we can raise or lower ourselves accordingly. IE. karmic reaction. Choosing wisely is key, using our minds only goes so far. look at all the inventions around us, where did they get us? However, being guided by our true selves, our spirit and soul, GREAT goodness can be achieved. There is no thinking about it, just doing. I cannot even count the amount of times that amazing things have happened in my life when i was still, listened to my soul and did what I knew i SHOULD do. many times it wasn't what i thought i wanted to do, but in the end, it was the right choice.
I do good because i choose to. I am not rich, have no fancy cars or a huge bank account. I own no house and am not famous. Yet I am highly respected by everyone in my life, have friends in which i love and get loved in return,am happy as well as satisfied at the end of each day. Why is this? I dreamed of a life like this since i was a child, every day I worked not towards money, fame or power, but towards my dream in which i always dreamed. To love and be loved.
Namaste
