Letting life pass
When I was looking through old photos on my phone this morning, I noticed that many of the things I wanted to accomplish 5 years ago are still just written in a notes app or some diary that I haven't touched in years.
It's really funny how I have this habit of always trying to wait for the right time to do something on my checklist of accomplishments in life.
We've been given good advice by so many experienced people on just saving every penny we have for the future. But when the future arrives and you don't have any energy left to fulfill your dreams, you don't have passion like you used to when you were a young boy or girl, you ask yourself what's the point of all this? You're bored with the cycle of life and you lose your sense of adventure.
This past weekend was very nice for me, I decided to go to the beach. The water was cold and I didn't actually get in the water, I just stared at my feet in the sand. I now have that memory, which is kind of nice even though I didn't do anything productive with the time.
People want to be rich because Money is a solution to so many problems. I have a few friends and most of them want money that I know is quite rare to have and almost unrealistic.
Trying to become a billionaire by 30 is usually unrealistic and can lead you straight down the path of anxiety and that's all I tell them. They usually see me as being pessimistic and that anything is possible and I say ok you're right.
I spent money for a gym membership that I never used till today. I should have had a routine power walk instead.
When you're all alone in the house with your relatives at work and friends too busy to return your call or reply your text, you'll have plenty of time to think. They think I thought of was the memories I had and the visions I had. I thought to myself which ones should I cherish the more. It's the easy way out to just say both of them. If I died today, the only thing I really had with me are the memories I created in the minds of people. Maybe if I told a friend my vision they might remember that I had a vision before I died but it won't matter as much to them as the memories. So don't let your life pass while you're so busy chasing the goals, some of which are unrealistic.
I actually know a few people who have more wealth than they could ever spend. One of them was one of the most sociable and modest people I’ve ever met: he owned a single pair of jeans and two lumberjack shirts, which were more than enough to keep him properly dressed for many years. And he had built the world’s largest global removals and logistics company from scratch. I considered him a happy and well-balanced person. All the others, with all due respect, may be rich, but they are truly poor in terms of all their human hardships and problems. Money does not bring happiness. Money brings loneliness. That is how one might generalise it.
Setting goals, on the other hand, can be a wonderful driving force, even if they sometimes seem unrealistic.
I couldn't agree more with you dear, Money will bring happiness at all. There's also a man I know who said he's only reason for building more business is to create jobs for people and it's not about money anymore
