Ask HN: Is there a metric for measuring progress against one self?
Other than something such as wealth. Like a survey for daily happiness?
- quietthrow 7y ago$$$$$. Anybody who tells otherwise is kidding themselves unless they have already had the $$$$$ then its freedom and when they have that finally, it’s legacy. In that order.
- p0d 7y agoThe most important things in life have zero to do with wealth, so definitely not a good metric. As a Christian I measure myself against the teachings of Jesus. I think it is important that we measure ourself against something external to ourselves. Western society seems overly self focussed at present and despite having so much there is much unhappiness. The Bible teaches us to focus on God and treat others as we would want to be treated. Progress is measured by what we do for others as so much has been done for us.
