You're clearly not aware of how the ego in each person works. You should NOT rely on buying a house or making a lot of money to be happy. Happiness is an internal state...you hold the key within yourself. Immediately when you attach external factors (house,money) to how you feel, you're feeding your ego with what it wants. It wants to attach itself to anything that's external; anything that gives him a reason to not feel complete. "Until I don't have a big house, I'm not happy". That's why people can live in caves and sit on benches for years at a time and feel more happy than a millionaire, who bases all his emotional state on external circumstances.
you're speaking in incomplete thoughts, yes happiness is an internal state, however we are subject to outside influences on that state. minimizing the impact of those outside influences makes it easier to hold that state. This whole "think happy and you'll be happy" crap is away of selling crap, just like diet pills, everyone wants the end result without the hard work. A house and money may not equal happy, but having a solid stable living situation and not worrying about how you're going to make the next bill payments lowers common stress. Having pride in taking a girl back to a home you worked your ass off, feels better than taking her back to your cave or your park bench, if you do take her back to your cave or park bench she'll probably say "you live in a cave...ew" rejections effects everyone, it damages confidence and weakens state. I don't care who you are or what crap you've read or how many RSD video's you've watched, that is a fact in human psychological behavior

False. Comparing yourself with other people is the ego's task. You are already borned perfect/complete. The moment you compare your status / job / money / with anything external and other people, you're creating a false identity out of yourself. When society has been created and social order started appearing, that's when we started comparing ourselves with people and creating external identities out of them. "You're a slave". "You're an engineer". Putting labels on each person and everyone associating who they are with what they do in life. That's when the human mind started analysing and comparing itself with other people. We are NOT borned to compare ourselves all the time. That's why people are able to attained "enlightenment" and get rid completely of their ego..because comparing is something that's added to the human mind, not borned in it.
False, The "ego" is a function of self worth, we compare ourselves to others because the human mind makes value assessments based on desirably, believing lead is more valuable than gold is a great thought but the simple fact is every outside influence will tell you other wise, to ignore the outside evaluations is a sign of clinical narcissism or just stupidity.

Once again, the ego's in the equation. You want to feel better than your peers because your identity is threatened by your friends possessions / accomplishments. You feel like you're not enough, based on external factors...the only problem is, you are already enough. Your ego doesn't think like that. It feels threatened..it wants to survive.
To think you're enough just as you are is to lack the drive to better yourself. Yes I'm great...so far, but I can be better, I should be better and I will be better, there's a word for it.....a...ammmm......amb.....ambition!!! and that's a good thing

I respect RSD because the most amazing results with women I had in my entire life was due to their SOLID advice and amazing applicable concepts in real life. I give credit where it must be given. If you don't know what RSD's about, don't comment..
RSD has a few good things about it, but the idea that "you're good enough as you are, no matter what" is a pussy mind set. You should only be happy with who you are if you are worth being happy over, if you're not, get off your ass and change it.
Ego is a good thing, I lift lost of weights so I can carry mine around and look damn fine doing it
