Life is in phases
Whether you drive a Volkswagen or a bentley the road remains the same isn't it? Whether you speak on Samsung or you speak on iphone x, who ever you are calling remains the same isn't it? Whether you are flying economy or you are flying business class, the destination where you are heading remains the same isn't it? Whether you are wearing a simple fastrack or you wear an omega or a rolex watch, the time remains the same isn't it?
Its quite amazing how we work ourselves up so much with increasing the standard of living that we forget to increase the standard of our life,, dont get me wrong, there is nothing wrong with an omega. There is nothing wrong with a Bentley, if God bless you with that; drive it-- no problem, but in trying to enhance, increase
and improvise the standard of your living, please do not compromise with the standard of your life, "its not the standard of your living that makes you happy", " its the standard of your life that makes you happy".
Very often we forget to pay attention to those things that can truly make us happy and we focus on utility value. You can travel business class or first class , no -- problem. Drive a Bentley-- no problem, but in doing so, Never ever compromise on those principles that also improve the standard of your life.
Some people are so poor, so poor, so absolutely poor that all they have is money, that's all they ever have, and i consider that a poverty stricken life, if all you have is money then you are the poorest person in the world because there is more to life than money and there is way more to life than what money can buy.
Our happiness and our increase standard of life is not in things, but in people, our relationship with people, its meaningfulness and heartfelt deep bonding of love that we share with eachother, those are the great things that brings joy and fulfilment to the heart.
If truly you want to know how rich you are, then drop a tear and see how many hands come to wipe that tear.
