People have been guided by money for so long we lose perspective of how things really are. We lose perspective of what matters and what’s important in life. We forget ourselves, we fraught ourselves with challenges and worries, and we delay joy. We keep postponing enjoyment thinking we should work hard towards a better future. We put ourselves on hold. We put life on hold.
Money makes us sacrifice joy, family, our hearts callings. We push our emotions aside and use our heads to ground our physical selves with our physical needs and desires. Our pursuit of physical security, comforts and luxuries ties us down with commitments. Reality tells us we need to stay grounded and address these commitments. So, again, we work hard and sacrifice ourselves for money.
What of our hearts?
Those who follow emotion are seen as silly and frivolous. Those who believe there’s more to life then this are dreamy idealists who have their heads in the clouds.
But things are changing. More and more, people awaken. We’re waking up. We’ve worked ourselves. We’ve put ourselves under stress and pressure. We know what the pursuit of money does to us emotionally and physically.. and we don’t like it. We’re waking up.
Many of us are starting to realize, it’s not worth it. Many more of us realize, this is not what life is meant to be.
We’re waking up.
We spend all our youth collecting money, neglecting our health and joy, then we spend all money we collected to get health and joy back, when we old.
