Being happy with life....

meaning of life is being happy with yourself. for those of you that help others(i suggest you do),you may feel unappreciated but you are always rewarded in the long run.
always stay humble and never lose focus,complacency will kill you. never lose that drive.
i used to give that bs response about "providing liquidity",trying to sound sophisticated. now i just tell it like it is;i'm a trader. i trade stocks and don't hold overnight. if thats a daytrader then i guess thats what i am.

You said

never lose that drive.


But that is very difficult. One always starts with lots of enthusiasm and gradually it diminishes. Zen mind beginners mind. It is difficult to keep beginners mind all the time.
 
this question was once asked of high school students.
the answer that stayed with me was one should try to make a difference for the short time we are here.
 
Quote from nutmeg:

So this begs the question, is it possible for poor folks to gain self awareness?

----------------------

Yes, but with some assistance. Tell them that "Fifth grade was the best six years of your life." Keep reminding them, give 'em hope.

Well, poor people face hardships better than rich one. They work harder and aim higher too. If we see history, most people who are famous or did something were generally from poor families. Maybe they get more insults and not get many things when young as poor, so work hard to get things. What do you say?
 
I feel more full of life contemplating my mortality and inevitable end. Sounds depressing - but I think there is a more special satisfaction in Truth.

Here's an image for meditation:

"Wer war der Thor, wer Weiser, wer Bettler oder Kaiser?"
"Ob Arm,ob Reich,im Tode gleich"

"Who was the fool,Who was the wiseman,Beggar,or King?"
"Whether poor or rich,all are equel in death"
 
Quote from osho67:

Is there any food item, any minerals and supplements that will help to become happy. Anything except drugs?

Thanks

yeah, for me it's a supplement called running or even better, hiking (on certain mountains that allow fast hiking). when i am energetic enough (had an up month in the market), i do that and i'm on top of the freaking world, nothing compares to that rush. try it, you'll thank me later. while there are tons of vitamins/minerals on the market, the problem is that some might work but only short term, in my experience. as for food: a big bowl of good quality pasta (imported from italy) always makes me happy, dunno why.
oh, and one more thing: the things that make your testosterone happy: putting long hours in the mkt game, running a marathon, etc. are not very good for your overall health, again, ime.
 
Meaning is where you find it because it is a purely human illusion in a meaningless universe. Some find it in religion, others in deed, or relationships, or in delusions of self greatness, it's all the same.

Happiness is a chemical state, get it while you can.

"As a man thinketh" by James Allen.

Our thoughts create our reality.

Mind is the Master power that moulds and makes
And Man is Mind, and evermore he takes
The tool of Thought, and shaping what he wills
Brings forth a thousand joys, a thousand ills
He thinks in secret, and it comes to pass
Environment is but his looking glass.
