Look, you’ve probably never thought about the value of money being its universality.
Not a reader? Watch the video:
Just because you can trade money for anything doesn’t make money inherently useful to you.
Money itself isn’t valuable; a piece of paper in a white room won’t do much for you. What it represents is tradeable value, but in that very trade you create a filter, an extra step.
In order to reach that extra step, you have to work much harder and be way less efficient in reaching your final goal than if you just went directly to the source.
You mistake money’s ability to be traded for anything with the experience you think you’ll buy.
If you want to be happy, do the things that bring you happiness. It ain’t complicated, mate.
Far too many people pursue money in order to buy things they like, rather than asking themselves “What makes me happy?”
If you like to bathe in $100 bills than maybe having money is the only way you’ll be happy.
For most of us, bathing in $100 bills isn’t a particularly pleasurable experience. Yes, I know some of you will say, “Well I’D sure like to bathe in $100 bills.”
You’re missing the point, you bloody idiot.
Without thinking about your own existence you’ll be doomed to take $1,000,000 baths without it ever making you happy. Sounds like hell to me.
I’d way rather spend time with my wife, or give my dogs a belly rub, or go paragliding, or help create a business; all those things make me really happy.
Think about it, seriously. What makes you happy?
You can comment or upvote or resteem if you want, but I'd be way more psyched if you actually followed those little clicky-bumps with serious ACTION.
Happiness is yours if you're willing to do those things that make you happy. Do it!
