Money is such a tricky thing. Wouldn't you agree?! I think lots of people have heard and sorta aware of the concept of "Money is another form of energy" thing. We've all been there, struggling to make ends meet, trying to convince yourself how fortunate you are to at least have a job, or trying to make yourself listen to the whole idea of "money can't buy happiness" thing. Not only it's tricky, it's also very contradicting. We know that we have to pay bills, spend money on food, education, clothes.... we do need money to survive. What we need to understand is that in order for you to be happy, you actually don't need money. Because money won't buy that status. It is not possible. It might help you get something that will bring you joy or excitement, but money will not bring you happiness. It might be a tool, but not an element.
Especially when you live in a big city like NY, the struggle becomes even worse. The need for money significantly increases. People want to be rich. "Being Rich" is your social statue, it doesn't equal to your spiritual/emotional state. Happiness is something that come from within, not from something outside.
Nowadays, so many people talk about being rich and famous. But there are many people who had all that and end their lives so soon. Those people had fame and money. For everyone, their life looked perfect. But most of those people took their own lives. For what!? Why?! Because they were not happy. I mean, I can't really talk for them, since they are dead. You could have 10 huge houses. A), You are not gonna be there most of the time. and B) if you have nobody to live with, what's the point of it?! I get that you need your own space, blah, blah, blah... but you need your own space, only when you live with someone. If you are there by yourself for the whole time, you won't even need that. Suppose you have a collection of 15 cars. Why do you even need it for?! For their value?! For the sake of just collecting?! When you are looking at those beautiful cars, that might make you feel good. But does that bring you happiness?! Those people who took their own life, i don't think they were happy. I don't think they felt loved. I think they lost the sight of who they are.
Money can buy things, provide what you want, and pay your bills. But having money doesn't equal to your happiness. It's such a hard concept to understand. Because when we don't have money, we feel like things are falling apart, can't pay the bills, or sometimes not even being able to eat. And in that kind of situation, how are we suppose to make ourselves understand that money isn't happiness? Money is needed for survival. But, it's not the magic potion that can bring you happiness. It doesn't promise you happily ever after. The moment you realize that money is just another form of energy, and it is for you to use, the weight on money will decrease little by little. You don't have to hold on to them as much as you did. It's just a form of energy. that's it. Use it. you don't have to hold on to it with your life.
love,
