“Following the goodness of your inner self will ultimately
reward you with more lasting joys and satisfaction than any amount of
compensation from external sources through mundane means.”
We’ve all heard this one before: money doesn’t buy happiness.
It sure can make life a little less stressful, though. No, I’m not about to
start ranting about the economy or any of that crap. I’m not here for that. The
economy has nothing to do with my personal spiritual journey.
So, back to what I was saying. Money can’t buy happiness.
Know what can? Following your heart and doing your best. If you don’t do those
things, yet you have money, you will have an empty existence that you are
constantly trying to fill with material goods which mean nothing.
Not everyone can see this simple thing. My daughter can see
it. She likes material possessions just fine, but she knows that there are more
important things. For example, for the last three years, she has asked Santa to
make sure everyone is happy. Not just her family and friends; she wants
E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E to be happy. That’s what it’s all about (that’s right, it’s not
about the Hokey Pokey anymore!).
It’s a slow process to change your mind set to one which is
more optimistic and happier, but it is well worth the effort.
Blessed Be
