As humans, we are naturally inclined to strive for wealth and success in order to feel fulfilled and complete. One might, however, ponder whether there is anything more to life than achieving wealth or success.
Some people frequently believe that success or fortune are the only things that count while they live their lives and satisfy their desires for more and more, forgetting that there are other goals one might pursue as one lives.
If I am being asked what other things I will go after as I live out the rest of my days, in a situation where I have gotten all I have ever dreamed of and even have a great relationship with my Creator, here are the things I’d mention.
One, being of great value to society. It is claimed that people remember individuals who made a big contribution to society more than those who had it all but made no contribution to society. So, one of the things I would aim for is to really contribute to society and be of tremendous value to it.
Two, helping the needy. Many affluent or successful people nowadays would rather flaunt their wealth or spend it on items that don't matter than aid those in need. Helping those in need is always a positive thing because it improves the world and lessens social problems.
Furthermore, keeping a good relationship with people is another one too. Being successful or wealthy doesn’t mean one should be bossy or brimming with pride. No matter how successful one might be, one will always need other people’s help, and having a good relationship with the people around one will help secure a great place in their hearts. So, having a good relationship with people should be one of the things one should have.
In conclusion, it is always important for one to know that there are many other things to pursue in life after one achieves one’s goals instead of striving for more and more.
