If you had to pick something to live for in this world, what would it be? Hopefully the first choice isn’t money. Hopefully it’s something like love, family or happiness.
We only have a short time to make the most of this world. Devoting an entire lifetime to making a million dollars might be one way to spend it, but at what personal cost? To live only for money when it becomes useless in the end or could disappear in one day is a risky investment.
To live for the best parts of life — like love, family or happiness — takes full advantage of what limited time we have.
Putting happiness before money transforms you into a better person and keeps you from succumbing to greed or selfishness. You’ll feel more accomplished for pursuing the best parts of life rather than following the humdrum of the daily grind.
