MONEY IS A LIFE TOOL NOT LIFE
Money is not everything, but money is important. Beyond the basic need, money help us to achieve our life's goals and supports all the things we care about most deeply like family, education, health care, charity, adventure and fun. It help us to get some life's impalpable things - freedom and independence. All the basics things that everyone wants in their life like, food, house, clothes, education, financial security etc. can be given by money and we can avoid unnecessary suffering...
Money has its own limitations too , it can give us a well being life but can't give the happiness every time, it can only give us gifts, and time to develop our self but not the courage and discipline to do so.
Money can give us all the comforts that we all need in our life and also the power to make a difference in lives of others but not the desire to do.It can give us the time to develop and nurture our relationships, but not the love and caring necessary to do so.It can easily made us escapist, selfish and lonely too.
HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED...What is going to cost to get it?
These two questions come to mind, which gives us a true sense of money's relationship to happiness. If we have less than what we need, or if what we have is costing us too much,then we can never be happy. We need money to eat, sleep, dress, work, play, relate, heal, move about, and enjoy comforts. We should remember in choosing our style that it comes with a price tag..
"We always think if we just had a little bit more money, we'd be happier" but when we get there we are not.....even "Once you get basic human needs met, a lot more money doesn't make a lot more happiness"......lots of psychological facts say the same... we as a person does not need plenty of money we just need it in adequate amount which can help us live a well being life...all we need is satisfaction, if you have that then you never wish for lots of money you just think that money is just a tool for life journey....not the life....
Everyone gets thrilled at first from expensive things, but we soon get used to them and soon we don't get happiness from that anymore..the tendency of a person to get happiness from such thing is relatively low because the rise in income can make you happy for a short period not for long...so they don't give us happiness......because the rise in income can make you happy for a short period not for long...so they don't give us happiness... The problem is not money, it's us. For deep-seated psychological reasons, when it comes to spending money, we tend to value goods over experiences.
Money can help us find more happiness, so long as we know just what we can and cannot expect from it. Many types of research suggest that seeking the good life at a store is an expensive exercise in futility. Money can buy us some happiness, but only if we spend our money properly.
We should buy memories. How much money it costs is not the issue, but how much the money costs us is important. Money should not cost us our soul, relationships, dignity, health, intelligence, and joy in simple things of life. People who figure out what they truly value and then align their money with those values have the strongest sense of financial and personal well-being.
CREATE GOALS BEYOND MONEY...
Chasing more money is a futile journey that only leads us to stress and frustration. If our goal is more money, we will never have enough. There is always “more” money to obtain to spend on “more” material and experiential things. We will never truly be satisfied with such a mindset. we can identify the
specific goals that would actually make a positive difference in our lives. Here are some points which really help us in our life's...
- We can see what is truly important to us.
- We realize that money is not actually a goal, but a tool to help us along the way.
- Our goals are flexible and can be adjusted to fit our financial circumstances.
- Satisfaction is within our reach… we just need to plan for it.
We focus on those things that give us the utmost satisfaction and leave us feeling content. (Yes, we can actually feel this way). This is often a peaceful place and one where we can create a clear vision for how we can use our money as a tool to achieve the most important things in life......
“I want more money.”
“I need to save more money.”
“I wish I had more money.”
I hear these phrases all the time -- and I’m guilty of saying them, too. While it’s natural to think this way, doing so only creates more stress around money. When we look at more money as the ultimate goal, we will never feel satisfied that we have enough. However, when viewed as a means to an end, we realize that we can afford anything.....so create goals beyond money, money is just a bifactor.
WHEN, MONEY IS ENOUGH?
Money is everywhere in society. That’s a fact, not a judgment. It helps us function daily. Whether you use it to pay your mortgage or to cover your expenses, money is essential for most people. We also want those nice-to-have elements like travel and social life, which requires more money.
It’s not surprising that We. Focus. On. Money. All. The. Time.
I’ve never met anyone who can’t generate a list of things on which they would spend money if provided the means to do so. From this standpoint, it’s logical to think that we must need more money to live a fulfilling life. The challenge we face is actually wrapping our minds around the concept of “more money.” What does that mean and how do we know when we achieve “more?” The very fact when we get the satisfaction that yes we are living in a comfortable zone and every need is fulfilled, that's the time we have to realize that instead of running behind the money we have to live in harmony and peace without jeopardizing our goals of being happy .....then we can say money is enough ...
Keep smiling and make your life goal to be happy not to be greedy about money and try to get satisfaction in whatever we have instead of comparing with others; If you like this story don't forget to comment, share, and subscribe to the writer's irony.
