People always say that if you have the choice between wealth and happiness, choose happiness. What a load of BS. 20-40% of divorces are cause by money, 16% of suicides are a result of financial struggles, 19-30% of students drop out of college because of financial stress, 41% of households in Idaho alone struggle with acquiring basic necessities. But oh Iโm sure if they got to choose between money and happiness theyโd choose to be happy, right?
Some claim that ambition is a path that leads to self destruction, other say that it is a road that lead to success. Should we really use a characteristic of the few to determine the desire of the rest? If working hard gets you money you will strive to achieve goal after goal, but you may lose yourself in the process. If you are content with what you have and want nothing to change then you are setting up for laziness. The trick I hear is to balance it. But thatโs not as easy as it seems.
As humans, we strive to succeed or are set up to fail. We push ourselves to the finishes line, to our goals, to what we want. But why happens when you achieve them? Make another? Go further? Then what? Some ambitions can lead to burn out. But others lead to controlled success.
Money is the building block of our existence. If money was a non issue then people would strive to take on roles for what they want, rather then what they need. Personally, I think teachers deserve more credit than they get. Mothers who stay home, people who work for low income. Choosing a job you love over a job you should have is a decision people struggle with more then we should.
When I graduated what do I want to do? Who the hell knows. Choosing a career for money will benefit me. But will I really be happy with a materialistic life? Or should I choose something I love that will only benefit my heart. The sad truth is, money does create happiness. But Is being happy a choice you want to make for the cost of constant stress, bills, envy, and anxiety?
Money controls our lives more than it should. It takes a toll on everyone. But this economy is set up for those built to succeed. Stop trying and youโll fail, try and youโll get things wrong, fail, try, fail, try. Money controls most aspects of peopleโs lives. And we let it.
Will your net worth matter when your six feet under? Will your happiness? Rather rich and happy, wealthy and depressed, happy and poor, or struggling and miserable. People will remember what you did over what you felt. The thing that matters is the impact you made in the world before you left.
Thats my rant. anyway, I have a test later, Wish me luck.
