i can assure you it really isnt. money cant buy you happiness or real love. yes it can help out allot buy using it to buy food and keep a roof over your head. BUT if you love money its not going to love you back.
never brag to anybody what you own and what you have got. owning things does not define the person who you are. it just means you are materialistic and that as long as you own objects you will be happy.
imagine your house caught fire and all your things got burnt, or if someone robbed your car. what have you got? you will believe you have nothing, but that isnt true at all. if you learn to love yourself and the others around you more you will feel rich inside and not need objects to make you feel powerful and important.
everyone would love to be able to have the money to go out and get pampered, buy new clothes, have a fancy meal and so on. its nice to go out and treat yourself.
im not saying sit at home all day and not earn your money and expect everything to be handed to you on a golden plate. im saying you are more rich than you think! if you have a roof over your head, running water, food, family, friends and love, you are more rich than you imagine.
there are people out there who have lost all there family and friends. there are people in the world who havnt got the luxury to have clean drinking water. there are people out there that are living on the streets or in danger zones where there houses can quite easily be bombed. there are people out there that cant see or hear! there are people who have a mental illness taking over there life and cant function properly! theres working families out there that can only afford to feed there children and not themselves! ive seen it! ive seen allot of people out there suffering!
i myself get really bad bouts of depression. whilst in a depressive state i tend to forget about all the people worse off then me. i will say this though, if you know someone who is in a depressive state find out why they are feeling like they are. depending on the reason why they are depressed you may be able to remind them that there are worse of people. BUT most of the time its best NOT to tell them this as it can then trigger of more emotions.....i kind of contradicted myself, but if you know what rock bottom feels like you may understand.
when you wake up one day and you have nothing to do, instead of going shopping, hairdressers, diamond shopping, nail salon, 3 course meals and so on, why dont you step outside. take a deep breath in and out, aprishiate you are able to fill your longs with this FREE oxygen! there are people suffering from COPD and emphysema and cant breathe as good as you.
go for a walk in the woods, its FREE! its calming and gentle exercise is good for the soul. some people cant walk and would love to be able to walk through the woods and countryside.
look at all the FREE beautiful things around you! the pretty clouds in the sky, the beautiful tall trees and all the lovely nature around you. some people would love to be able to see these amazing things but sadly some people are blind.
listen to the birds singing, the wind dancing through the trees and the calming sounds of rivers. its all FREE and all so lovely. some people sadly are deaf and cant experience this beauty.
im very lucky where i am at this time of year. in the fields and woods near me its blackberry season! ive been enjoying picking a handful of this FREE food. i never pick to much as there is enough FREE blackberrys to go around everyone. i cant sit here and moan about the people picking bags full as no one owns these. BUT i did see a greedy couple of ladies the other day with four lunchboxes full and then filling up huge sports direct bags. i do hope they dont sell these as they should be FREE to all people. i understand people enjoy using them to make jam. did you know some people dont have the ability to taste?
there is so much more to the world than money and sadly allot of people dont notice this
this is one of the many places i enjoy for free :)
