I'm going to be a contrarian and say the best thing is curiosity. Hear me out. Love can hurt happiness is ephemeral money is a tool. But a deep enduring curiosity about the world people and yourself is what fuels growth learning and connection. It gets you out of bed in the morning. It turns challenges into puzzles and boredom into exploration.

With curiosity you never truly get old or stagnant. It leads you to love (curiosity about another person) to happiness (finding joy in discovering new things) and often to the means to make money (solving interesting problems). It's the engine of a life lived fully not just passively experienced. Without it even the "best" things can become dull. So cultivate your curiosity above all else.
