Time to start something new
Happy New Year to all. It’s a time to start something new.
I write this first article for the new year, a time to be reflecting on a new beginning. It’s part of our tradition to say happy New Year to one and all. For 2021, I would like to give some words of advice. We need to keep these words in mind as a credo or daily mantra—working on yourself should be more important than making money!
When you think about it consciously, shouldn’t happiness be more important in our lives? Money is an important thing to have but happiness is what matters most to make substance of our lives as well. I have seen many successful people, even celebrities, striving to make so much money but they still don’t have self-confidence or happiness within. When you are happy, everything else falls into perfect proportions. Yes! Happiness is what is needed in the world at this time, as depression is looming as we speak during these times and even for the year ahead.
People don’t conform to aggression but by love. Why did I say that? Happiness and love are very much important and needed at this point in time. Most unhappy people fail to understand that the love they have inside their soul is paramount. So people don’t conform to aggression but by love and this should be on your to-do list of things to self-actualise.
You can have all the money in the world, but it does not always equate to true happiness in the earthly life we live now. Balancing the equation will be our guide in choosing between making more money or finding happiness inside. It always comes back to being an ‘insider’ of yourself to find any worth, which will bring happiness or lasting joyfulness in our lives too. What you choose will always be determined by what you do. We have a very popular saying that goes, “Action speaks louder than words,” which is a de facto statement at hand. So what you choose in your life is a manifestation of what’s in your very own heart.
Ask yourself what is more important, happiness or getting more money to live by and you can all be ready to survive. If we learn by the world’s state of mind that if we are good, then we will always have the problem of being in a depressive state of mind, it will become a real way of life within our societies. We are seeing that demonstrated by the reflection of the ills of our societies, whereby money is God with no true heart inside. By learning other people’s experiences, happiness will bring substance to your own world. Happiness is the first place to start always. Money will come. It will always come home by God’s helping hands on you. So please find your happiness now and all other things will fall into place, as the sun shines.
Thank you for reading and tracking with me. Always remember happiness is formed by what you have inside and not outside. If you want true happiness, be an ‘insider’ and look for your happiness in your own soul and heart as well. March on progressively with finding yourself and finding the answers internally by becoming an ‘insider’ against the odds of life in the world now with COVID-19.
