In the hope of money and hope for success we end up chasing the wrong things and we make a mess.We end up with less than we started with.End up with more issues than we bargained for. Whilst
climbing that ladder and that stairway we as humans forget why we started climbing in the first place.
Once the King of Bhutan was asked by an interviewer, what the GDP of Bhutan was. He was surprised and shocked. He replied by saying.
"In Bhutan, we don't just measure the GDP, we measure the GNH. Instead of just measuring Gross Domestic Product (GDP), we measure the Gross National Happiness (GNH) in Bhutan."
In the process of getting older and busy, we forget the real goal of life. If you could make a little less and spend more time doing what you love would that make you happier? Don't trade your happiness for what you think you need. Things can never make us happy. Because they're temporary and limited. But experiences can last forever. Too many people are working hard on things they don't love to spend money they don't have, to buy things they don't need to impress people that they don't like.
When we create our identity around what we do, a career, a job, an occupation. We can never be happy because we are basing it on something external. But when we create an identity around who we are and what we want to be and become than anything as possible. And the most important fact to remember, we become successful by what we get, but we become happy by what we give.
Don't get these two confused. 😉
