People tell you that these are the things that you must do to succeed in life. People who made it big and thought that everyone could make it big and that money was the solution.
In a way, they are trying to tell you that this is the way to happiness and that this is the greatest accomplishment that one can have.
Money can only give you comfort, but not happiness
Some of these people are financial advisors, famous people that made it big, and prosperity preachers. They are poisoning your thoughts.
These people are trying to brainwash you that money is the only way that people can be happy. they are targeting human weakness which is the love for material things.
Money and fame do not guarantee happiness.
It is easy to prove this point with the following statement:
There are many rich and famous people who are not happy; even though they have lots of money, they are still sad, and some of them even commit suicide.
On the other hand,
There are poor and simple people who don't have money but are happy, meaning money did not play a part in their happiness.
OK, don't get me wrong; I am not saying you don't need to work anymore.
What I am trying to say is that you don't need to burn yourself out. Earn just enough and save a little for the future. But never drain yourself just to make so much money that you don't even need.
Because if you do this, the time will come when you will love money the most in this world.
Don't be a slave to money
Don't tell yourself, "No, I just want money until I can already afford a house, a car, and some of the things that I want to buy."
I'm telling you, you won't stop there; you will realize this by the time you are already earning, and you will have the desire to earn more.
Material things are made by the devil so our life will be astray.
- Most people with money
- have fewer real friends
- have less time for their family
- have less time to enjoy life
- only believes in himself
Balance your life, the devil is trying to distract you with fake happiness
