Is it always lonely at the top? Can we achieve true happiness without material things?

Not particularly .. there are many stories of people who shut themselves away to find their "inner self". Monks and hermits have done this forever. However, knowing yourself is one thing but discovering how one fits into society and what ones true place is in the universe requires deep contact with others.

I think that we have lost track of what is really important. We need to remember that we came into this world with nothing and we will leave with nothing.  Material things do not make you happy...really they don't.  It's the matters of the heart: friendship, family, love.  I know that it sounds corny, but when you get right down to it...it is true.     Take Care!

THe path to beauty and happiness lies within yourself. You don't need to find it anywhere else. \nLet me tell you a story (er, now I have time, so don't mind). Long long time ago, when humans live happily on earth. A horde of devils came down to ruin their lives. They managed to steal happiness from humans, but they didn't know where is the safest place to hide happiness, sothat no human could find. You guess where that place is? It lies safely within yourself. It lies in the way you thought about life.\nDO NOT THINK OF ANY EXITING PLACES, 'cause there's no other way than to live on your own.\n\nThis reply is a little bit off topic, but I think it can help you. You can try finding a site to feel better, but remember that you're the only one who can make your life more happy.

You can't let love be the only thing that makes you happy, if you do you'll be just miserable!  There are tons of other things in life that can make you happy without having a man/woman to love.  Yes it's awesome to have somebody, but life is definitely not miserable if you don't have someone.

Making peace with myself.  Money is nice, relationship is nice.....but rather have peace with myself above all.  If have inner peace, then happiness usually follows. :-)

I think everyone has felt that at some point.  It helps to put yourself in a situation where you are independent or vulnerable, for instance moving to a new city where you don't have any family or friends.  This will allow you to find your core beliefs and your way of life without any pressure or expectations from others.  When you do "find yourself" you'll find true happiness.\n\nHope this helps.  It worked for me!

if you are happy in your life all the time, you will loose the value of it . we know what happiness is after facing the sorrows if their is no sorrow then happiness doesn't have it's value so try to appericiate sorrow and u will understand the true joy

good ? i think true happiness is being contented with what u have. to have people around u that care for you and love u even when u mess up. it's going through life knowing that it may bring pain but your willing to live it at it's fullest anyways. its enjoying everything good that life brings and dealing with the bad things that it brings.

You are not looking at the whole picture. If you compare yourself with the whole world population, you are probably in the top ten percent of wealth. You can get a drink of cool water and do not live in a hut or shack. Be thankful for what you do have and you will feel beter.

Yes well that's quite an interesting question for fact that I have often grilled myself on such thoughts! I think the most obvious thing to do in such a situation would be to make a list of all your passions and probabaly continue by prioritising those passions. Then take each starting from the top and go about developing a means to include that activity in your daily life. It's probably just about making each day full of energetic activity, taking part in social functions, etc,etc and might I add-Reading a lot is important as is thinking out of the box! I believe slowly life will start taking a particular form directing you to do exactly wat u want to do-Use your mind to create good things on Earth!

Maybe if we are always satisfied with everything, the drive to achieve will be lost. Of course, we need to find a balance between finding happiness with things we have and finding things worth fighting for. It is easier to stay satisfied with smaller goals that matter to us. So it might be wise to pick your battles carefully.\n\n"Happiness makes up in height what it lacks in length." -- Robert Frost (I think that's how the quote goes.)

Success is being happy with ones self.It has nothing to do with material values.

It depends on your character.For most of us enjoying that "lots of thing in the world" without a partner is impossible specially in long term.Love, support and all other things we take from our partner is the most effective thing on our soul i think.beautiful landscapes, our job and etc are not enough.
