Life lesson #115 from Mark Manson, The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck

The more you desperately want to be rich, the more poor and unworthy you feel—regardless of how much money you actually make.

The more you desperately want to be sexy and desired, the uglier you come to see yourself, regardless of your actual physical appearance.

The more you desperately want to be happy and loved, the lonelier and more afraid you become, regardless of those who surround you.
