Success and Happiness Cannot Be Fulfilled by Money
People often find themselves racing for money. They find all possible means in which they can earn more. Thinking that it would make them happy and successful in life. They’d be able to do and buy anything they like. In that case, who wouldn’t be happy with it?
What they do is keep themselves busy with their career – or maybe careers. Some would do multiple jobs in a day while some would work for their promotions to increase their salaries. This may sound to have no problem at all. But realization comes in the end. The realization that it is not only the money that they need in life to be happy. There are a lot of things besides money that would make a person happy.
The negative part of keeping yourself busy in making money is that you forget the other important things in your life. Things like your family, partner, your relationship with other people, and most importantly your health. People who have multiple jobs are too busy to take care of themselves. Less number of hours of sleep and more job means more stress. For people who strive for higher positions, tendency is that they compete with their co-workers. This often lead to rivalry and damage in their relationship. This is what people meant with “money does not change a person, it unmasks them.”
Happiness cannot be found with money alone. It is true that we need money to survive but not too much. It is just a part of it. We also need to take care of our health and our relationship with our loved ones. Balance is what we need to be happy and successful and not money alone.
