Life, love, family, money and death. These are things that we know may happen to each one of us. I say this because even though death is certain life too is certain. Love and money are things which one can never ever be sure of having in this life time.
I say this because no matter how you look at it some people have been placed into this world to suffer till they die. Yes, there is this popular belief that when you work hard you’ll make it in future; at least that is what has been portrayed in movies that we have watched since we were kids.
Recently I heard a different opinion to something which I have believed in all my life which has suddenly made me question a lot of things I have believed in thus far.
For sometime now I’ve had it in mind that you’ll have to work hard for even something that is meant to be yours. One thing which I thought was absolutely true was changed by a lecture I heard the other day. Whiles others may believe that you need to work really hard to get what you deserve or what is meant for you, others believe that you don’t need to do all that to get what you really deserve. Some people believe that what is meant to be yours will always come back to you.
Yh, this is a popular saying that people use when they talk about love. But then i suddenly believe that what ever is yours will be surely be yours no matter what you do. Whether you work hard for it or whither you lazy about.
So if all this can be put on a silver platter for us then what is the purpose of this life that we are living? Well, for me I think we have all been created to follow different paths in this life. That is why some are more brilliant than some and some even though we think aren’t as intelligent as they should be end up being successful in terms of money. But is money everything in this world?
We tend to sometimes think that a person who has a lot of money has no problem in this world or someone who has a lot of money tends to have less problems. But at the end of the day I ask my self, if Elon musk is part of top richest people in the world why is he struggling to make more everyday? I later on answer myself by saying money is never enough. I say this because the more you make the more you spend. When you had never made your first million you’d never dream of buying a card with a million but now that you’ve made more you’ll literally spend more on a car that costs more.
At the end of the day you get to realise that cars at those exorbitant prices are actually as good as they cost and then your taste changes.
At the end of the day, I believe we all have our own definitions of what success is to us. I’ve always told myself that yes, I do want to have a lot of money but then I also want to be content. I want to have the kind of money which makes me ok and not too greedy at the same time. At the end we all have different paths and purpose in this life.
