In my life i'm poor, have no friend who I can truly trust and in my family I literally don't trust anyone, BUT I love my life without any doubt because I learned to love myself a long time ago, I have a big goal to strive for and my plan to accomplish it is already in practice. So for me the best standard of living is knowing yourself and then having a why so everything else is kinda of irrelevant and if you go further and make one self-fullfiling goal then you will be happy everyday
dont just love yourself mate,love others as well because they are the one who will help you strive in life,"
no man is an island" so if you really want to succeed?then love people around you as they may be your stepping stone to achieve your dreams.
