Wealth not as satisfying as you thought

Why?
Because after a certain point, increases in wealth improve your happiness only briefly, due to a pair of forces know as hedonic adaptation and social comparison. In other words, the excitement of the riches quickly wears off and there is always someone have more.

So i suggest we sould only strive to reach a point where additional wealth will not longer provide you with any phychological or emotional benefits. Steady income and independance is what we should aim for.

Grow

Perfection ldeas breathe life into us. They challenge us beyond the previously self imposed boundary and to become a better version of ourselves.

A tree with strong roots can whether any storm.
So start to growing your roots today.
But keep in mind that trees sways to the wind. They are not rigid.
Even the strongest and the biggest sway in the wind.
Allow for uncertainty you can sure it will come.
Find the lesson in the unexpected
try to enjoy mystery it will keep you young.
We all despise uncertainty
we try and waste energy and time to create the illusion of security and control the uncontrollable.
We curse the unexpected because interferes whith our plans, even though it often carries with it challenge we need to use the challenge for change and grow.
