No matter where you're at—whether you're making $50k, $100k, or millions of dollars, or tens of millions of dollars—there's always a next accomplishment around the corner, and you always adapt to your circumstances, and there's always someone who's doing better than you that you can look at and be jealous of.

Through meditation, I can sort of get a hint of that... I can start feeling how my mind is conjuring up these concepts, and these objects, and these feelings and truly see that—at least see a bit more of—how the nature of everything I experience is fundamentally created by my own consciousness.
