You are Making the Biggest Mistake of Your Life Because of Money
It's still time to change your mind
My 23rd age was at the same time the flush and the most unfulfilling of my short life.
I ’ll make it simple. I was saving more than half of my paycheck every month, spending without thinking about it, all while working three hours a day. I ’m not boasting, I just need to set the scene for you.
Today, I barely make enough to support myself by working 8 – 9 hours a day.
The difference is that I'm much happier now.
You do need a minimum of money so that you can meet your fundamental requirements. But beyond that, money becomes a vicious circle.
I’ve got some questions for you.
On weekdays, do you dread getting up? At work, are you constantly looking at your watch? Fine, you ’re not passionate about your job. You still need it to go a roof and food. But do you have free time left to do the stuff that makes you feel alive?
You already know if there’s a problem somewhere.
Your day job then loses all its meaning: you go there to afford an existence that, in the end, you don’t live.
Money should not be a goal
The purpose of life isn't to get rich. Getting rich is like accumulating pebbles. It’s useless outside the materialist sphere. Happiness, the feeling of being alive, of living a good life, all this is set up outside the materialist sphere.
The purpose of life, in my eyes, is to find what makes you shake. What you were put on this earth for. The aim is to make a reality of this comparable life that you feel deep indoors and that suffers from not being lived.
That makes an earth-born happy.
When you ’re chasing money, you ’re chasing virtual figures that live only on your bank app’s homepage. Sure, you can buy a new auto, a fancy watch, and costly dinners.
And then? Will this stuff make you happy?
Do you really want to spend your twilight getting drunk on more costly whiskey with friends in suits and ties? Or wallow in your leather settee that sits among six other couches in a living room bigger than my entire apartment (yet there’s no shortage of space!)? While your beautiful convertible vehicle will be sleeping in the garage with its wheels on the marble floor?
Are these your own greeting, or has society rubbed off on you?
I ’ll be honest with you. Buying stuff that you don’t need (“ need something because it's necessary or truly important rather than just desirable”) is an attempt to fill an emptiness that you feel inside.
This vacuum is real. Except that it can only be filled with non-material things
“Happiness is not in the mere possession of money; it lies in the joy of achievement, in the thrill of creative effort.”
— President Franklin D. Roosevelt
Still, you lose, If your existence is spent chasing money.However, you win, If you spend it satisfying yourself.
occasionally we've no alternative but to work a job that doesn’t complete us. It’s okay, fulfillment can be unconnected to a day job. Still, if you chase money so much that you spend your twilights and nights at it or lateral-hustling, you also have no time to devote to the real purpose of your life.
Your day job then loses all its meaning. You go there to afford an existence that, in the end, you don’t live.
It's not too late now
No matter what your age or situation, you can choose tore-calibrate your life to fabricate it more in line with what you ’re dying to do.
However, that’s okay, If you don’t know what that is. All these years have educated you to ignore the egregious. Let yourself smell back in. Let your guard down. Listen inside.
And give yourself a chance.
You don’t need to double your payment if you formerly have enough to live on, eat on, wear on, take care of your loved ones, and go to have fun.
What you need to do is stop pouring all that time into a financial hunt and start pouring it into a private one.
It’s a game- changer.
Thank you !!!
