Compact definitions of important stuff:

Joy = Pleasure in the present moment

Happiness = Reality meets expectations

Success = Time optionality

Presence = Immersed observation

Tranquility = Lack of resistance

Wisdom = Discerning what truly matters
It took me 10 years of introspection & study to understand the essence of this stuff. I still struggle with each of these, but the struggle with Tranquility is the greatest.

If one is presently happy, one must remember that there is no such thing as ”happier”. Trying to get happier from that point usually has the opposite effect. Instead, one ought to work to maintain the happiness, which is substantial work in and of itself. https://twitter.com/shreyas/status/1367685530708713472">https://twitter.com/shreyas/s...
