A Quote by Paramahansa Yogananda on success, needs, life, dominant purpose, objective, and service

The things you need in life are those that will help you to fulfill your dominant purpose.  Things you may want but not need may lead you aside from that purpose.  It is only by making everything serve your main objective that success is attained.

Indeed.

Reminds me of the Eddie Vedder song 'Society'.

“It's a mystery to me
we have a greed
with which we have agreed

You think you have to want
more than you need
until you have it all you won't be free”

Yes - it is only by coming back “into the self” over and over again and following our true purpose that we can function at our “optimum”
thanks I liked the song - Tai
