It is my strong belief that one of the keys to happiness is to not worry about money or anything for that matter. This says a lot coming from a person with a severe panic disorder. I consider myself to be genuinely happy person, mainly because I was raised on the concept that money isn't everything and that in the end, everything would work out.
"Everything will be alright in the end, if it's not alright, it's not the end."
This idea was especially important to me when I applied to college. At the time, my dad had just passed away and my mom was unemployed because she had been taking care of him, so honestly we had just about nothing. Prior to the passing, my mom and dad had both lost their jobs, so income went from $50,000 a year to below the poverty line.
Drastic chance.
But throughout all of this, we never worried. We prayed each night, and everything worked out.
When I applied to college, I was fortunate to receive a near full ride.
All-in-all, money doesn't mean everything. There is the relationships that we have and our relationship with GOD. Maybe the world would be a better place if everyone took even just one second to work on these relationships before worrying about money.
"Of what use is money in the hand of a fool, since he has no desire to get wisdom?"
Proverbs 17:16
"Whoever loves money never has money enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with his income. This too is meaningless."
Ecclesiastes 5:10
"No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money."
Matthew 6:24
These are a few examples in the bible.
In all honesty, if society had not made money mean so much, maybe we as individuals would not make our world revolve around the paper and metals we pass around. What about the living beings being mre important than these materials items.
Where is the love?
