If You Have to Ask, That’s Your Answer – The best things in life are self-evident—i.e., if you have to ask if you have them, then it means you don’t. If you have to ask if you’re happy, then you’re probably not. If you have to ask if someone loves you, then they probably don’t. If you have to ask if you are successful, then you’re probably not. If you have to ask if you are healthy, then you probably are not. Etc. We intuitively understand this, yet we avoid it. We overcomplicate things.
