I am literally tired of hearing the word ‘money’ in almost every sentence that people around me use. One sentence may differ from the other in meaning, but what’s invariably common between them is the use of this word. Even magazines, newspapers and TV channels also showcase the widespread use by coining out phrases like ‘Money is brighter than sunshine’, ‘money is sweeter than honey’, ‘how to be millionaire’, ‘only if I could make money’ and so on.
It’s a proven fact that human beings are never satisfied with what they have. They always want more. As a result, they never cease to think about money. They talk about money, imagine about getting rich, plan which of mouth-watering dishes are to be consumed, fancy clothes are to wear, exotic locations are to be visited after having pocketful of cash. The hypothetical list of ‘wish-fulfilment’ not just goes on but strives to be real as well. As a result, giant amount of personal loans along with credit card debts ensues. If you are also obsessed with money like these people and never learned how to be happy with yourself, then this article is for you.
The quick expansion of the commodity market turned us into shopaholics. There are malls and supermarkets with amazing discount offers, shopping in such places is a pleasurable experience. Online shopping made it even easier for us. The Ecommerce platforms are open for 24/7 and allow us to shop just by few clicks. As a result, we often shop just for the sake of shopping and our refrigerators stay filled with extra food items, same with our closets with clothes that we don’t even remember purchased and houses with plenty of furniture.
If these descriptions fit you, then you don’t know how to be happy with yourself.
Like many, the only thing that you know is how to keep on spending. It’s true for many of us. We spend recklessly, without thinking what will happen if someday our job slips from hand, we’re left with a failing marriage, our health deteriorates or if the market collapses.
Another grave mistake that we make is, believing in the advertisements. These ads manipulate our points of view by injecting the thought that unless you HAVE THIS, you aren’t happy. In this way, we come under the influence of these ads and adhere to a false projection of happiness. We think installing a 42 inch LCD Plasma television or shifting to a million dollars apartment will usher happiness. But in reality, happiness cannot be defined in terms of such stipulated benchmarks. So thinking that money will buy happiness has no real basis. It is just a mindset.
‘Wealth –Beyond Belief’ can help you to get rid of false beliefs and obsessions. Repeatedly thinking the same line ‘I am nobody if I don’t have money’ won’t offer you a healthy life. ‘Wealth-Beyond Belief’ can enable you to choose a course of life, take decisions on your own about how to spend money and take fun out of life.
