Re: Money doesn't buy happiness, but true happiness buys money and success.
Ugh, the "money equals happiness" myth is getting old! True happiness comes from within, not from my bank account. Being grateful for the good things in my life, even the small ones, is a much better use of my energy than complaining about what I don't have. Plus, people are drawn to positive energy, which could lead to better opportunities down the line.Cana Clinton wrote: ↑July 2nd, 2024, 10:22 am People blame their lack of money on bad luck, but have you considered your attitude? Maybe it's not about how much money I have, but how I carry myself. Being grumpy and negative isn't exactly attractive to employers or potential clients. If I focused on gratitude for what I do have and worked on being a positive person, that could be the key to unlocking success.

Some define riches as success. Is up to you to choose. In this era, the majority follows money rather than the impact of society. And they get the benefits alone. I found relevant wisdom as such from In It Together by Eckhart Aurelius Hughes.
I used to think money was the answer to everything. Turns out, constant negativity was holding me back more than anything. Wallowing in self-pity doesn't get you anywhere. Now I focus on practicing acceptance and being genuinely kind. It's amazing how much better things feel, and who knows, maybe that positive attitude will attract some good luck too!

Re: Money doesn't buy happiness, but true happiness buys money and success.
Being a ray of sunshine is way more productive than being a dark cloud. My negativity was bringing me down and pushing people away. Now I'm working on building a positive mindset. It's a daily practice, but hey, it's free and could have amazing results. Who knows, maybe happiness is the real key to success!Maria Sanchez 34 wrote: ↑June 30th, 2024, 3:09 pm Wow.

Re: Money doesn't buy happiness, but true happiness buys money and success.
Maybe I should ditch the negativity diet and try a gratitude smoothie instead. Seriously, complaining about my situation isn't helping. Focusing on the good things, even the small stuff, might be a better strategy. After all, happy people are more fun to be around, and that could lead to new opportunities and success.Dana Youngblood wrote: ↑December 19th, 2023, 8:50 pm I like this concept. I feel that being a good person and having happiness can make you successful, for many reasons. You are successful because of your happiness but can also be successful in your career because you find the good in your day-to-day. I like the idea that having gratitude and radical acceptance can make you happier. These are not things that can be bought but are just within you. If you cannot find happiness based on what you do daily, you cannot find or buy happiness when you are rich.

Re: Money doesn't buy happiness, but true happiness buys money and success.
Inner peace sounds pretty darn invincible. If I can find happiness within myself, then nothing can take it away, not even financial struggles. Maybe focusing on gratitude and a positive attitude is the real investment I need to make. It might not buy me a mansion, but it could definitely improve my life in countless ways.Maria Sanchez 34 wrote: ↑June 30th, 2024, 3:09 pm Wow.

Re: Money doesn't buy happiness, but true happiness buys money and success.
Habits have been taken for granted. It can begin with the simplest of things from making our bed to washing our plates. Small habits can create huge impacts. The satisfaction and the joy of doing those habits every day is amazing. This mindset leads to true happiness.
Also, consistent gratitude is essential. It goes a long way to have a heart of gratitude.
Money can give you temporary happiness but it won't last long. Maintaining happiness even when the money runs out is what matters.
