MONEY CAN’T BUY YOU HAPPINESS

Today, the world is no longer predictable. 100 years ago, our lives seemed simpler because our roles were more defined. All areas of our lives were defined, but today the case is different. In order to be happy and successful we must be multidimensional in everything we do. We belong to the era of technology. Happiness is the desire of every man and woman. On every continent, in every country and in every culture, when people are asked, "What do you want?" the most popular answer is "happiness." Happiness is what you need in other to make other life’s goals like success, prosperity and relationships—feel meaningful and enjoyable. We toil hard every day to be able to achieve the basic needs that will give us happiness. We fight for it, we crave for it and we even die for it.

In truth, happiness is a state of one's mind. It is something you do not look for. You do not have to chase it. Happiness is something that is in you and it’s you alone that can create it. It is sad that most people try to look at happiness through their wealth, career, money and success, but in the actual fact happiness is something that you choose for yourself. If you put your happiness on your money, what will happen to you when you are broke and no money to spend that means you will be unhappy. You will always be unhappy when you crave for materials things because when these things are not forth coming the end result will be unhappiness. The fear of not been able to get the material things you desire will also lead you to unhappiness. For you to be truly happy in this world, you need to free yourself and mind from material and negative things.

Despite that fact that our ultimate goal in life is to be happy, some people chase happiness while other people choose happiness. From my personal experience, I have come to discover that, you don’t chase happiness you choose it. Most people think that money can buy happiness, that’s where they got it wrong. The truth is, money can't buy you happiness, because happiness is not in it. Money can take you to the doorstep of happiness but cannot open it. True happiness is free and doesn't cost a dime. A lot of happiness is overlooked because it doesn't cost anything.

TO BE CONTINUED TOMORROW. NOTE: If you enjoyed this post, please like it or share it so that other people can benefit from it. I really appreciate it, thanks.

INTRODUCTION TO MY BLOG

DAY ONE: Today's Quote: “I want the world to be better because I was here.” Will Smith INTRODUCTION TO MY BLOG As the publisher and Editor-in-Chief of a magazine, I read a lot. Amongst the things I do and find interesting is reading personal development books, listening to inspiring audio programmes and writing motivational materials. Over the years I have built up quite a wealth of knowledge on the subject of motivation and personal development. The urge to start this blog arise with my belief that there is need for me to contribute my knowledge to the society. We are living in a world and last time when there is almost no safe place on earth. Every day, we wake up with negative news from newspapers, radio and television. Life in every city has become so stressful and very dangerous. News of violence, wickedness, injustice, threat of terrorist strike, natural disaster, and many others saturate everywhere. It’s like there is no safe place any...

LIFE IS LIKE A RIVER

DAY THREE: Today's Quote: . “Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don’t lose faith.” Steve Jobs What a beautiful day, thank you Lord for this day. My topic for today is “life is like a river”. First let's look at the definition of life. Life means the existence of an individual human being or animal. Back to the question, how do I see life? I see life like a river flowing on and on, always changing. Your life begins small, just like drops of rain which turns into small streams and eventually great rivers which flow into ocean. From birth, we were not given a map or guideline on how to go about life. Because we are ignorant of this journey, we are bound to face challenges and obstacles. Living on earth requires that we must expect the unexpected and be prepared for the unknown. There is nothing you can do about it; it is the nature of life. In life, each of us will face some type of crisis and in most cases; we have no personal control over it. Sadly eno...

WHY YOU MUST COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS

DAY TEN: Today's Quote: "It's never too late. Don't focus on what was taken away. Find something to replace it, and acknowledge the blessing you have"-. Drew Barrymore I want to begin by thanking Almighty Lord for my life and for everything and for making me the same person I am today. It's a pity that millions of people go through life searching for the next big thing and trying to be the biggest or the best at everything and they fail to take time and be grateful for the small everyday blessings that God gives in life. Father Lord I just want to say “thank you” I hope today's article will inspire you to be grateful for the good things in your life and stop complaining about the bad things. WHY YOU MUST COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS: when you look round and take a closer look of yourself, you will agree with me that there are many things to be grateful for. There are so many things to thank God for what he has done for you. If you wake up and you have ...
