I mean it. And you don’t have to tell anyone – just ask yourself.
Maybe while grabbing your morning coffee. Or on the walk to your car (if you’re not on a call saving the world).

By all measurable standards, we should be incredibly happy.
Austria – and much of the Western world – ranks among the wealthiest per capita.

We live in democratic societies, with freedoms most of history never knew.
We can do as we please – within the law. Or break it, if we accept the consequences.

By this logic, we should all be ecstatic, right?

That’s what we’re told: Achieve this. Own that. Then you’ll be happy.

And if that’s true, then those who lack these things must be miserable.

But is that really how it works?

I don’t think so.

So let’s go back to the beginning.

Take a moment. Think of a time when you felt truly content.
Maybe it was a quick chat at the coffee machine.
Maybe a warm smile from the bakery cashier.

What was it?

And what does that tell you about what truly matters in your life?

Surprise yourself.
Redefine success.
