Whatever Makes You Happy! Is It Money
ByHappy is the man that fines wisdom and the man that gets understanding.
Who are the happiest people on earth? Here is story that I found in a newspaper from England. They ask their readers, “Who are the happiest people on the earth?” The winning answers were:
A little child building a sand castle.
A craftsman or artist whistling over a job well done.
A mother bathing her baby after a busy day.
A doctor who has finished a difficult and dangerous operation that saved a human life.
The papers editors were surprised to find virtually no one submitted kings, emperors, millionaires, or others of wealth and rank as the happiest people on earth.
W. Beran Wolfe once said, “If you observe a really happy man you will find him building a boat, writing a symphony, educating his son, growing double dahlias in his garden, or looking for dinosaur eggs in the Gobi desert. He will not be searching for happiness as if it were a collar button that has rolled under the radiator. He will not be striving for it as a goal in itself. He will have become aware that he is happy in the course of living life twenty-four crowded hours of the day.”
When we shift our focus from finding happiness to wisdom we will find happiness within.
I am just total amazed how everyone thinks that money is going to make them happy. This story shows just what is important. All you parents out their take your child in your arms today and as you are hugging them stop and think: “Would you trade them for all the money in the world or just for a few million?” Hold anyone of your loved ones in your arms and ask yourself the same questions. If the answer is yes, sorry to tell you, but you are never going to find happiness.
I certainly know that money is something that is a little short for many people these days and it can solve some problems. This is when we really have to look at what is obviously clear. People and our loved ones are clearly what is really important.
Picture yourself in a big house sitting there eating your dinner all by yourself with a feast set before you, but there is no one to share it with. Instantly you realize you are alone and the food just doesn’t seem to taste very good. Now picture yourself sitting in a little house with your family there at the table with you. Not a lot of food on the table, just enough so you won’t be hungry when you get through eating. You slowly eat your food enjoying every morsel. Which house would you rather be in? The big house all by yourself or the little house with a loving family sitting with you?
After reading this blog go over and hug your family and know the secret to happiness. Money can never buy what you are instantly feeling in that hug.
