Money Can’t Buy You Everything, You Have To Achieve A Lot Yourself

In the society we live in, it is easy to confuse material things and money with happiness. The truth is that we are constantly being told that with certain material possessions we could solve all problems and become happy. As if everything had a price and we could buy it with coins and bills.

But is it true that the one who has more is actually the richest? It might look like this, but when we talk about emotional wealth, the currency is different. He who can enjoy the company of people who give him joy, who values ​​the little things in life, and who can enjoy the fruits of his hard work, he is really the happiest.

Materialism is ephemeral

It is true that material things often make our circumstances easier and sometimes also bring us happy moments. However, this is more of a temporary happiness. Material riches can help us to satisfy vital needs such as hunger, or even to reduce our sadness. But in the long run, being wealthy will not improve our wellbeing.

So it is beneficial to keep in mind how easily we can become slaves to materialism. We have to face this fact. Putting a price tag on everything is one way of making our lives more convenient, but it’s also very dangerous. Seeing material possessions as the primary goal is clearly a sign of such enslavement.

A person does not define himself by what he has, but by who he is. Limiting ourselves to judging others based on their possessions can give us the wrong idea of ​​what others can offer us.

Luxury and many of the so-called consumer goods are actually not indispensable in life. Instead, they are obvious obstacles in increasing human spirituality.

Henry D. Thoreau

It is good to be aware of what is really important and what spiritual value it has. Let’s experience people and fall in love with the world. In return, the world will fall in love with us. This is how we achieve lasting happiness and real joy.

What is essential is priceless

And what is the use of having stars? You make me richer. And what’s the use of being rich? It helps me to be able to buy more stars.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

What good is it if you own all the money in the world but have no one to share it with? Charles Dickens gave us   proof of this in A Christmas Carol . Giving is much more fulfilling than sitting on a pile of money, which doesn’t mean anything to us as human beings.

For example, we could become very happy if we fight for our dreams instead of paying for them. It would also make us feel fulfilled and satisfied. We felt good because we understood how far we can go for our dreams.

This also applies to the people around us: our parents, our children, friends and possible lovers. They too will notice our inspiration. You can’t give them anything more valuable than your heart.

Happiness cannot be bought, it has to be achieved

Have no doubts and start doing all the things you know you can never buy. We need to free ourselves from the fear of leaving our comfort zone. We have to show ourselves fully and learn from the people around us. Because the person with the most money is not necessarily the richest. The richest person is the one who acts, lives and enjoys for himself and others.

Of course, we will not become happy by waiting for happiness to find us. Every success takes courage, a lot of love and also some failure. Remember: They say that if you want to feel richer, you have to enumerate everything you own that you couldn’t buy.

Money can only buy material things like food, clothes and an apartment. But you need more There is evil that cannot be healed with money, only with love.

Mother Teresa of Calcutta
