The media influence people's perception of wealth and happiness, by the constant stream of celebrities and their high-flying life style. many of these celebrities, resort to drugs and alcohol to prop up their lack of self-esteem, trading in their self-worth for a pretty picture in a magazine. Some, even though they already have millions, become addicted to money, where their only salvation is to make more money. They cannot know who their true friends are, for they could be 'in it for the money', and if the money went, they would soon follow. I saw a sign somehere that said, 'No amount of money in the world can buy you a true friend, nor the loss of one!' I believe, you must start and love yourself, for what you represent in terms of trust, honesty and that greed is something that lesser mortals aspire to. When you've achieved that, you and the friends you have chosen will grow in an esteem, that will be envied.

People in this frame of mind seem blinded to any other idea of success and don't seem to recognise the cost of this kind of success - which is often a complete lack of wellbeing. See <a href="http://www.thecreativeinstinct.com/2008/04/23/find-your-definition-of-creative-success/" rel="nofollow">Find Your Definition of Creative Success</a> for more about this. Hi Jerry

It is as though it doesn't matter and fame itself has become the goal. Figuring out what you are truly passionate about is surely a better proposition? If you can do that, and set in train the actions to live that way, then you may become rich and famous for what you really love doing. What could be better than that for a sense of wellbeing? Hope all is well with you! Jerry Hi Andy
