Money and Happiness. Some Basic Question answered.

Image
MONEY, MONEY, MONEY Ted's photos - For Me & You 2018 - Germany - Heidelberg - Show Me The Money via photopin (license) That's the only thought that goes through almost everyone's mind is: How to make more money? How to become rich easily or fast? Money is the only thing that defines your status in the society. No one cares if you have money in the bank or not. If you dress well, drive an imported car, and have no time for your family then you are rich. People have a very wrong misconception that money is directly proportional to happiness. Up to some point, it's true but as it starts to grow further greed creeps in and it makes everyone's life miserable. Couple days back I was going through my daily routine of watching videos on YouTube when I came across a video in which a person was talking about money and random questions generated in my mind.

The Art of Social Media via photopin (license) There is a very sad truth about being a human is that we go toward comforting lies instead of unpleasant truth. The lies are not going to bring any good but the truth will. We all live in a world where nothing is real instead of the truth that we run away from. The news media and social media is supposed to bring out the truth and show the world what's real and what's not. In today's world, everything is about money. People are running after money, organizations are running after money and now, even, the media is running after money. HOW?

Image
We always want to be happy in life but for some unknown reasons, we do not get what we had wished for. We always keep searching happiness outside. We imagine happiness as an asset. Happiness is not an asset, it is a feeling that we experience when we change our habits. We, humans, have a tendency to pick bad habits more quickly than good habits. Those bad habits are the unknown reasons for us not being happy. When we start changing those habits, we start to feel happier and everyone around us seems nice.

PC: Clicked from Nokia 8(2017) by Ankur Aadarsh Rai We as a human being have become so much dependent on others that, for some, they cannot even break a breath without their friends. We have become so dependent that if a particular person is unavailable or unreachable, our whole life comes to a pit-stop. We are not able to do certain work. Have you wondered why that person is so much important in your life? Have you ever thought of doing the work without the help of that person?

The Power of Positiveness

Image
Quotes about Positive Thinking  via  photopin   (license)</ I have always come across people who have confidence, courage, knowledge, and talent but they fail in various stages of life. Failure is a part of life and there is nothing wrong with failing. I have seen them fail exclusively of negativeness in their life. They have developed a habit of doubting too much in each and every step. Constantly doubting themselves from the beginning have created a void of space which has been filled with negativeness over time. Doubting yourself is not bad but constantly doubting lowers your self-confidence bit by bit. The void of space created by your lowering self-confidence is filled with negative energy. The Beginning of Success:- The main difference between success and failure starts from thinking. We are restricted by our limited belief. We are like the fish in the pond that thinks that the pond is only the whole world and there is nothing else. We hav...
