What the heck, I pick them all. Doesn't really matter since I'm none of those things. I don't even care to be happy as happiness is only a temporary state. I AM is the one who is ever witnessing it all and I am not even the I AM as the I AM is even the seer of what I claim I am. So, it doesn't matter. I choose all or none.

Option number 1. Success is more important than happiness. Happiness comes and goes, but success will stay with you forever. Living a meaningful life is more important to me than living a pleasurable/happy life. To go after your purpose, there are gonna be days when you are not going to be happy and that is okay. It is okay to not be happy. What is not okay to me is living below my potential. I would regret that the most on my deathbed.


All Teachers and Teachings are delusion. You have all the answers within you. The first step on the journey to Enlightenment is questioning all the beliefs and teachings you have ever received. Teachers/Teachings are a distraction/maya at the highest level. There comes a point where you need to trust in your own innate knowledge and derive your own insights into the nature of reality. Teachers make a living and lifestyle of selling you water by the river. You don’t need them. All you need is an insatiable desire for truth and then seriously contemplate reality and uncover all that is false.

Option 1.

Happiness is a shallow emotion compared to peace and bliss.
