Money vs happiness
Money vs happiness, which do you pick?
A few years ago a friend of mine came down here for a job interview and the only question she left with in her mind was about the money they were offering her here. Now I know money is important in our lives but how important?
What if it's about the quality of life versus the quantity of money?
Would you go for more money if you're not happy where you are? If you just went to work day after day and came home, never to enjoy all the money you're making, does that make it a great life?
What if you made less but you had friends, you did things, you got out, met new people, enjoyed your life, is that not worth more than some extra money? We only have one life and most of us (women especially) give up half of our life for our families. We give it up for our children, to meet their needs, to make sure they are taken care of, to our spouses to try to make them happy. We gladly put our needs on the back burners to make sure every other person's needs are met first.
But now they are grown and they have their own lives, now that we have given our all to everyone else, we are faced with the question, who am I? Is this what life is really about? There has to be more…
I have owned my own business for the last 8 years and yes, it's been extremely hard at times and once in a while I think maybe I should go back into the corporate world but then I remember that I set my own rules, I get to work or not work when I want to, I get to travel and I don't have to answer to anyone, that is priceless to me.
We are entitled to have an incredible life, a life that is worth living but as I know first hand it is definitely not all about the money. Money doesn't buy you happiness, it may fill a never ending hole but it doesn't fill your soul.
You need to fill your soul with what makes you happy, it might be friends, volunteering, the beach, but it has nothing to do with money or things, I can assure you of that!
I have many clients that have so much "stuff", things and clothes with tags 3throughout their closets. They own hundreds of pairs of shoes, designer purses and clothes, they live in big houses, drive fancy cars but at night they are alone and lonely. They hurt inside so bad that they cry themselves to sleep every night. They have no one there for them, no real friends, no life but hey they have all that "stuff" to fill them up and keep them warm at night.
I know that feeling because I was one of them, I had the big life, I had all of the toys, the cars, the fancy vacations yet all the stuff couldn't fill the hurt in my heart. I was still broken and sad... and no money in the world could fix me. Is that the life you want? Filled with things that are meaningless or do you want a life filled with joy?
I chose to walk away, I chose my happiness over the money and let me tell you, there has never been one day that I've ever regretted my decision.
So today my friends, remember the choice is yours, remember that money doesn't buy happiness, but if you live your purpose filled life you will be taking care of your real needs. Your life will be filled with love, peace and joy and that my friends, that is truly priceless.
