I believe you are onto something about mindset, but I also believe true happiness is in our Creator and not material things. I grew up in a rich community in New Jersey and never saw so many miserable people in my life. I believe having a good mindset and direction in life is key, but focusing on the Lord Jesus Christ should be first in anyones life. So yes I do agree with some of what you said and so glad to see you feel better and have your health and a good mindset for the future. God Bless!
