Money doesn’t buy Happiness
It does, however, buy materials that makes your life a lot more convenient and upgrade your lifestyle to be a lot more luxurious.
People often confuse money with happiness…it’s as if that’s the route you must take to be happy—like a race to get to the finish line. Material girls/guys whatever…They all seem/look happy…but they are all empty inside, trying to empty that void with materials that they will never ever be satisfied with. They keep buying more to feel that fast high of emptiness. They confuse instant gratification with happiness. But hey—some people don’t mind that…as long as they are deluding themselves, they will keep lying to themselves that they are happy until they actually believe it.
But happiness is something internal, something that is deep inside you. All the money in the world can’t buy you happiness if you are not at peace, or even at ease, within yourself. You can have more money than Donald Trump, but it doesn’t mean jack. Sometimes, ironically, money brings more complications than happiness.
If you are a person who truly depends on money to be happy, then what does that say about YOU?
If you are not happy with who you are now, and is not willing to change whatever it is that is not making you unhappy, what makes you think the future will be any different? Do you really think money will solve everything? If you believe so, then you are only setting yourself up for disappointments.
Even other people can’t make you Happy. YOU and ONLY you have the power to be happy.
Happiness, as cliche as hell, is not a destination but rather a journey.
