Choose Rich or Happy?

in #esteem6 years ago

Have you ever heard this term? Humans must choose between rich or happy. Rich people usually live unhappy for various reasons. Among them is not having sincere friends. Remember this proverb?

"A friend in need is a friend indeed"

Because friends who come in abundance can only want your property. Wealth can often even make a split in the family. Starting from the problem of seizing inheritance, treasure gono, this is the desire to seize the rights of others and other problems. Can not wealth actually take away your happiness? Therefore, the term "rich people cannot live happily".

Conversely, people who are not rich can live happily. This is because people who live ordinary lives can get household harmony. He can also enjoy happiness in the simplicity that rich people might expect. In fact, he can also find a true friend because there is no excess.

But for people who are not rich, there are times when they feel they are not well off. Can not buy anything and at any time. Sometimes the needs may not always be fulfilled. This is where the question arises, is it possible for someone to get both at once? Are there people who are rich and happy at the same time?

Let's look at the following illustration:

Left people are the type of people we often encounter in everyday life. Someone who cannot have wealth and happiness at once. While the successful person on the right is the one who manages to overcome various obstacles and problems in his life so as to get wealth and happiness.

First of all, let's straighten the view of 'rich' and 'happy'. Rich and happy for everyone can vary in meaning. Some think that money is the greatest wealth, but for others it may be the family's greatest wealth. The wealth I mean here is to have money or property in very large amounts so that you can even waste money on any wish.

It's so happy. Happiness for everyone can vary. Some think that if he can work with flexible time is happiness. But there are also other people who think happiness is seeing families grow well, and various other perceptions of happiness.

Whatever happiness you desire, the happiness I mean is everything that is out of money. You might be happy if you could have a luxury car that is very expensive. But to buy that car you need a lot of money, so you have to be someone who is rich.

The person on the left decides to choose happiness. Because if you want to be rich, there is usually an expensive price to pay, which is hard work. Hard work to become rich is not just working hard with the work that is currently being done. If you wish to become rich, you must try to think further and wider, past the barrier of 'self satisfaction'. Dare to act and take enormous risks to make a big change to change your financial destiny.

Have you ever thought in your mind like this:
"Well it's fine for me to work like this, the important needs are fulfilled, the important thing is I can sleep well, the important thing is I am happy with my family. "

Often, this is the mindset of the 'failed'. People with this kind of thinking are usually too satisfied with what they have done. Look at things as small and simple. No need to think too far or try to break the boundaries around it. Finally, his life just stuck there.
With justification for 'choosing a happy life', he feels satisfied with his current achievements.

But take a look at the path he passed, broken and full of obstacles and gloom. Yes, right, gloom. People who instill this mindset are usually heading towards the gloom of life. Indeed, there is no denying that there are people who really understand the basic needs of their lives and feel sufficient with all these basic things. This is a good thing.

But Try to stop thinking grandiose, let's think realistically. In fact, only 1 of the millions of people on this earth are able to have such thoughts. The thought of 'being satisfied with a simple life' can only be obtained by people who are able to truly be grateful for everything they have. There is nothing wrong with wanting property, there is nothing wrong with not wanting excess property.

But if you are a person who thinks like the 'failed' in the illustration, I want to open your mind. Outside there are still many opportunities that you can achieve. Getting wealth and happiness is not impossible.

Let's look at the illustration of the person on the right, the 'success'. This illustration describes a person who gains wealth and success. The path he took was a bright road, full of hope for better things in the future. He can move confidently, in contrast to the 'failed' who must be so careful with his steps.

How to become a 'success'? Of course it takes hard work to achieve wealth. But more than that, to be able to have happiness at the same time, You also have to be good at being grateful and knowing the limits. Be grateful for all the things you have today. Don't forget that all of that is obtained with perseverance and high morale.

Gratitude Can give you limits on yourself. Remember, humans are beings who are never satisfied. Sometimes there are people who don't know the limit of wealth and the happiness he wants. The result can be negative, he will justify any means to get wealth. Even though he really did not know what he wanted himself. As a result, there has never been gratitude, let alone a satisfied word. That action can then lead to various negative impacts. Starting from ignorance of family, religion, the environment, neglecting morality even to commit crime.

If you reach this stage then maybe you will make a new illustration of someone who has wealth but his life is not happy. How could he be happy? Divisions in the family are natural, hated by the surrounding environment, even to become state prisoners. In this small heart there is never peace because it is constantly being chased by dissatisfaction and guilt.

Try to think positively and reduce bad intentions in your daily life. No need to be too skeptical about maybe or not you get wealth and happiness, because the answer is 'maybe'. It all depends on how you try and respond to the 'results' of the business.

One sure thing that you can believe in and apply in all aspects of life. Try to always spread positive energy, as well as positive energy that will return to you.
If you try the right way, you can get wealth and happiness at once. By itself the environment in which you live will feel comfortable, the people around you are positive people. Why? Because people with bad intentions will automatically retreat when you get a positive energy response from you.

Even so, doing everything the right way and thinking positively does not guarantee that your life will not be approached by problems. Every person in his life will always meet with problems. But by continuing to spread positive energy, you can continue to advance to achieve the desired wealth and happiness.

Become Rich and Happy

Many people are satisfied with the results they have obtained so far. Even though there may still be many opportunities out there that can be achieved. Wealth and happiness can be obtained if you dare to think beyond the limits of 'self satisfaction'. There is nothing wrong with fighting hard to get wealth. As long as you are able to continue to be grateful and know reasonable moral limits, you can achieve wealth and happiness.
