Hi from the desk of Mey Duldulao on a Tuesday evening and I wanted to talk to you about money and happiness…
…I work in an internet business where people often come in super excited to make lots of money online…
…and when I ask them why oftentimes they tell me that a bigger house, or vacations, or whatever they want is going to make them happy…
…and that’s where I ask “Did you know that you can be happy right now, and it has NOTHING to do with money?”
…this often puzzles people, as they think I’m somehow selling them happiness…
…I am though not in the way they think…
…I’m not going to fool anyone into thinking that more money will bring them happiness…
…the skills of cultivating happiness are different than the skills you need to make money…
…however, by working with me long enough, anyone will become more happy…
…because I am a practitioner of happiness and the skills for happiness…
…what do you think?
…what are ways that you grow your happiness?
I agree with you completely. Money will never bring you true happiness. This reminded me of a quote from a movie I just love called Into The Wild. Chris McCandless wrote “Happiness is only real when shared.” Money hadn’t brought him happiness so he went on a quest into the wild and found that being with nothing and alone didn’t make him happy either. In his last, desperate days he realized that he needed other beings to interact with to cultivate happiness, like you say. I love your post! It really made me think this morning, thank you . 🙂
