Money, possession and happiness

Life’s worth is measured in the moments lived and cherished; not at how much money you saved for future.

Really? Do you really think having so and so amount of money in bank will secure your future? What if the money was unused when you are gone? What if your situations make your money look small in front of the medical expenses of old age?

Ok, I get it; I am neither here to preach anti-positivism nor asking you not to save for future. But saving for future is not “THE MISSION” (and obsession in most cases) of life.

Now, a quick reality check. When was the last time you sat in your bed, admiring the moment, admiring the fact that you have a wonderful life, a paying job and a cozy nice bed. When was the last time you observed the beauty of the head board and its intricate work, or may be that photo/ painting you hung on the wall long back and forgot? If you take a moment and reflect on it, you will get that buying those wonderful things is not the real happiness, but enjoying their company.

In that way, it’s not “more” that that brings happiness, but the less and enjoyed.

Life is too short or too long, it’s unpredictable for sure.
So why don’t we just take a moment, look around, cherish the place we are in and enjoy the little things, as we go along with the wonderful journey called life.

“HAPPY LIVING”
