Disentangle self from illusory pleasures. Social structure and peer pressure contribute to personality development. One must perform to one’s best capability for a successful life. Self discipline i.e maintaining balance between work & free time to be with one’s true self, regular exercise, meditation, healthy food habits & remaining optimist are a must to face challenges/adversities without any anxiety to experience better circumstances, better health, and healthy relationships to create & lead blissful life.
