success
people have a weird way to measure success
why is it that the more money you make, or have always equates to being more successful?
is it because money is the only thing that people can measure? I mean you can be successful in having a loving and happy family, but can you measure the love in a family? Can you measure spirituality? Can you measure happiness?
There is so much more to being successful than just money, but talking with some of my coworkers – it seems quite the opposite. They think about money and status. If you have that, then you will be successful and live a wonder life. I was lectured at for practically fortyfive minutes about making the right decisions in university, because they will stick with me the rest of my life and define my success – and money.
But honestly speaking, if i make a decision it won’t be because of the money or status. My decisions will be based on what God wants me to do, and what I want to be doing. It’s cliche to say this, but money can’t buy you love. Money can’t buy you happiness. Money can’t buy you friends.
If your doing something you hate, and your stuck in a deadend job – but making good money. I’d say ‘good to know’ Lol it’s sorta like me now, making good money – but i think my job is a bore.
My highschool friends – at least some of them – say to me ‘we’ll c how successful we are in 10 years’ but thats not possible to measure, but who cares. As long as you know whats important in your life
