MONEY IS NOT HAPPINESS
MONEY
IS NOT HAPPINESS
How many of us
who think money can bring happiness? Money is often associated with happiness.
We think by having abundant wealth, we can buy whatever you want, and we are
certainly happy. But is it so? Maybe you've bought new clothes after so long
postponed because not enough money. When finally able to buy clothes that are
desired, are you happy? How many times have you changed since you first use the
phone? Do you change because it is damaged? Or because they are attracted by
new models more elegant, sophisticated? When it was bought new, whether you are
happy? It could be when it was yes. However the maximum within months, that
pleasure is generally no longer survive long
Not that money
is not associated with happiness. Up to a certain point, money can help us to
avoid stress. For example those who have no money, not even have to search for
food waste bins in place. However, the function of money was limited to the
fulfillment of basic needs. Once that need is fulfilled, the increased money
will no longer have a dramatic effect in increasing happiness.
Even Edward
Diener, a psychologist at the University of Illnois find the level of anxiety
people who already have a lot of money higher than happiness. The results of
his research on the 400 richest all-American show they are experiencing anxiety
reference, namely anxiety arising after comparing theirs are not as good as the
property of others. The danger, reference this anxiety intensified when we are
surrounded by people who have more luxury goods and expensive.
Money can not
buy happiness, and money does not equal happiness. As criminals eventually
become damaged as his reputation, time, relationships with others, old age and
his career became worse. Many people misunderstand the money.
If someone is
looking for happiness with the pursuit of money then only false happiness that
will he get. You can pay a doctor but can not buy health, you can buy a soft
mattress but can not buy sleep. You can buy
something that is material or material things, but you can not buy the things
that support the happiness that love, science, health, sleeping well, playing
with friends, getting together with family, a lot of people who do not have
much money but they are happy however many people are affluent, but his life
was not peaceful and happy.
Happiness can
not be interpreted with a lot of money. There must be a balance in life that
can make us happy spiritual and physical. Unfortunately if this short life only
we use to make money. Money is not taken off.
If you are able
to give a lot of money for the family, did you also leave plenty of time for
your family? For your friend? For your loved ones? If you are able to make them
happy is born, it is time started their Live the inner.
Happiness is
settled, not a moment. Happiness brings peace of mind that can still be felt
when someone is facing a problem. People who are happy to be firmly told
himself happy without the need to first calculate how many fun events.
In my opinion
such a truly happy:
1. Establish
positive relationships with friends, partners, others
2. Optimistic,
but still realistic to take concrete steps to fulfill all the wishes
3. Always be
grateful
“Happiness is not how
much money we have, but how much time we can be thankful.”
HAPPINESS CAN NOT BE
TRAVELED TO, OWNED, EARNED, WORN AND CONSUMED.
HAPPINESS IS THE
SPIRITUAL EXPERIENCE OF LIVING EVERY MINUTE WITH LOVE, GRACE AND GRATITUDE ~
