Happiness and long life are achieved, I think, when, you are definite about what you realistically and succinctly want to do with your life. Look, to live and let others carry the weight is an unnatural way to live. That, in a sense, is a living death. But to be genuinely of service while benefitting yourself in the process is the most natural way to live possible in my opinion as well as my reality. The point of life is to genuinely be of service while benefitting yourself. The few that admit this will ultimately be successful genuinely. We have all got to be real in order to live good, long, healthy lives.
