Are you "rich"? 💸
|
Even though most people spend the majority of their lives trying to make more money, the truth is that money doesn’t necessarily make you “rich” or happy. You can make a million dollars and spend a million dollars on alcohol, cigarettes, and parties that make you feel empty instead of rich. Real richness is defined by how you make your decisions, how you spend your time, and how happy you ultimately feel. ⏳❤️🥰 Stop fighting for goals you think you should achieve and start to create your own definition of “happy” and “rich.” Just because many people enjoy traveling and visiting exotic places doesn’t mean you need to travel and see the world to be happy. Just because most people admire fancy cars doesn’t mean you need one. I don’t even have a driver’s license because I never needed it and decided I don’t care about owning a fancy car as a status symbol. My definition of “being rich” is being rich in time and relationships. I spend 90% of my time in yoga pants, check my emails three times per week, and have an empty calendar 99.9% of the time. 🤸♀️🤷🏻♀️ That’s my definition of a rich life. Ask yourself what yours is and how you can create a life that’s covered in peace and love instead of “things.”
