Does Money make You Happy?
I was so convinced at an early age that if you had money you had everything. As I got older I realised that money was just a means to an end for example, it gave me the freedom to buy material things, I could travel help out my family etc.
I'm older and wiser and yes! I still need money but it plays a secondary role in my life now. Money can't Buy Me Love ..... as The Beatles song goes. It certainly can't buy happiness. I have some very wealthy friends who are rolling in money but they are as miserable as hell. I have friends who barely have two pennies to rub together but they are so happy and share everything they have. I feel so humble in their presence
So what is the secret to wealth? It's definitely not money, for me, its being in love with life, your work, your partner your children everything you do from the time you wake up till the time you go to bed. If you plan your lifestyle and you do what you do best with passion and sincerity you can turn this into a sustainable income for the rest of your life. My life has meaning I am not prepared to take second best. I want meaning in everything spiritual, personal, social.
I am so grateful to be alive, to have a lovely kind and talented wife, creative children and beautiful grandchildren. I suffer from PMA a Positive Mental Attitude. Two men were standing behind bars .. one saw mud and the other saw stars what do you see?
Continue to grow if you not growing you're dying -- rise to those those challenges stretch yourself and be amazed at what you can accomplish. You must have seen the changes within yourself when you joined Wealthy Affiliate. I did ! I am more competent in discussing website issues now, than what I did a year ago, I am more confident making changes on my website , each time I watch a lesson, every thing becomes clearer.
I am very realistic about Wealthy Affiliate goals and where I see myself within the next year. Make that commitment, align it with your passion and you will become successful in your endeavours in all areas of your life.
May you prosper - May you grow. May you reap what you sow ( I am a poet and I dont even know it !!! )

Wonderful! It give me a second thought about something goes around me and help me thinking the best way to deal with to get optimum balance of happiness, heath, and wealth.
You hit the nail on the head. God and family come first. Having money is necessary. Having lots of money is ok if you have people in your life that you love and you can share it with them.

Profound and motivating message - well reasoned and supported. May you prosper and grow too. Thank you.
I don't believe that money gives or brings you happiness. I do believe that money makes you more of what you are.
If you are generous without money, if you then have money, you will become more generous. Money gives you power.. and the most beautiful people in the world are the ones that have power and by mistake, you discover it.
If you are a depressed person without money, with money you will be more depressed.
