We live in a society that values what can be bought, so it is very easy to confuse the material with happiness, the truth is that it makes us believe that we can achieve everything if we have material possessions, it is as if everything has a price and you can buy it with your coins or tickets.
But is the one with the most rich?Not always. If we talk about emotional wealth, everything is different: it is happier to be able to appreciate the people around it, the small pleasures and the crops sown with effort.
- Thus.
- The emotions that life brings us are not labeled in euros.
- Dollars or reals.
- But must be conquered.
- The difference is substantial.
- As we will show below.
It is true that matter makes our lives easier and can offer us happy moments, yet it is a momentary happiness: material wealth can free us from vital needs, such as hunger or alleviating the feeling of sadness, but over time, they do not. increase our psychological well-being.
Therefore, it is necessary to consider the ease with which we become slaves to material goods, putting a price on everything is a way of making our lives more comfortable, but it is also very dangerous: to see material goods as an end in itself. is clearly a sign of slavery.
A person cannot be defined by what he has, but by what it is: judging a person about his property can give us a distorted and generally more unfair view of all that he can offer us.

It is good to be aware of what really matters to us and their spiritual value: to conquer people, to fall in love with the world and to do so, in turn, to fall in love with us. In this way, we will attract lasting and sincere happiness, joy.
What’s the use of having all the money in the world if we don’t have anyone to share it with?Charles Dickens demonstrated this in his Christmas story: giving is much more rewarding than being obsessed with something that won’t bring us joy.
We can be very happy if instead of paying for our dreams, we strive to achieve them, and in the future, we will feel full and satisfied with ourselves to know how far we can go.
And what is the point of having the stars? That makes me a rich man. And what is the point of being rich? Being rich, can I buy more stars? -Antoine de Saint-Exupéry-
The same is true when it comes to winning people, not just in the loving sense: from our parents to our children, through friendships and our loves. Valuing the other is good for the soul and the heart.
Do not hesitate and start winning now everything you know you will never be able to buy, but it is within your reach, we must lose the fear of leaving our comfort zone to show what we are unrestricted and learn from those around us. It is not richer who has the most money, but who achieves achievements for himself and others.
Simply wanting to be happy will not bring you happiness: every achievement requires courage, a lot of love, courage and some failures. Remember that to feel rich, you have to list everything wonderful you have and can’t buy.
“Money can only buy material goods such as food, clothing and housing. But we need more. There are evils that cannot be cured with money, only with love. -Mother Teresa of Calcutta-
