Money can buy you happiness!

Let me show you how

The notion that money can not buy happiness has for so long made many people operate at a low frequency.

This is because they believe that no matter how much they accumulate that it still won't help them find happiness.

While in reality, they haven't found happiness because they really do not have the means to get the things that will make them happy.

Happiness is a feeling and that feeling is always elicited by something either tangible or intangible.

For example, you just had a new baby; that can make you happy that you birthed a new being into the world.

If you bought a new car, especially if it is your first car, that can make you happy.

If you just won a competition, that can make you happy.

Okkk…. I know you will be like >>>

so what are you getting at mate?

Alright …alright… I know you are tired of my examples.

So, let me finish up by asking!

Will it be ok to say that even though money can not directly buy happiness, it can indirectly BUY it?

What I mean by that is >>>

If you had enough money and have no car and used your money to buy yourself a new car (your first car):

Won't it be correct to say that money enabled that happiness and thus that money bought you some happiness?

Of course, I know that you can already see where my argument is headed…

Even though money can not directly buy you happiness (just because happiness is intangible), It can buy you tangible assets and connections that can give you the said happiness.

Let me know your thoughts on this.

Overcoming Procrastination

Today, I am tackling a topic that I know hits home for a lot of us— overcoming procrastination . You know that feeling, right? When you’ve got a deadline looming, a dream you’re chasing, or even just a sink full of dishes, but somehow you’re scrolling through your phone or reorganizing your sock drawer instead? Yeah, we’ve all been there. I’m going to dive deep into why we procrastinate, how it’s tied to our past experiences, and—most importantly—how we can start breaking free from it. Hopefully, it resonates with you. So, let’s break it down and get into it. What’s Really Behind Procrastination? Procrastination isn’t just about being “lazy” or “unmotivated.” I used to think it was, but the more I’ve reflected on it, the more I’ve realized it’s deeper than that. Depending on the experiences we’ve gone through, our relationship with taking action—or avoiding it—gets shaped in unique ways. It’s like our tolerance for risk, failure, or even success adjusts based on what life’s thrown at u...

Tailor Your Skills and Gifts to Your Life's Desires

In the journey of life, we each possess unique skills and gifts that set us apart. These talents are intrinsic to who we are, shaping our potential and guiding our paths. My suggestion that you should Tailor your skills and gifts to what you want for your life. You don't need to justify it, they are already yours, to begin with, was me trying to capture the essence of embracing and aligning our abilities with our aspirations. I was looking to shed light on the importance of this alignment and why you should never feel the need to justify your talents to anyone. First and foremost, it's essential to recognize that your skills and gifts are inherently yours. They are part of your identity, woven into the fabric of your being. These abilities were not borrowed or taken from someone else; they are a natural extension of who you are. Therefore, you have every right to use them in a way that aligns with your vision for your life. When you tailor your skills and gifts to your pers...

Challenges are meant to be defeated and not evaded

In the times that we live in today, having an easy pass is gradually becoming the norm and people are putting it on a pedestal of accomplishment Life is meant to be challenging and also rewarding However, the seeking of an easy pass is gradually overcoming the need for strength, skill, and experience. This is so because many people have been sucked into the idea that the end justifies the means and so they do not need to go through the rigor of challenges of the process before achieving something, but rather they can take a shortcut and as long as they get the trophy that's all that matters Forgetting that with challenges comes experience and strength because overcoming a challenging task or situation will require that you skill up, apply strength, or be tenacious. This for one now becomes the benefits of the challenges, because if you skilled-up so that you can able to overcome a challenging task, then that skill remains with you and can also be employed for the same challenge in ...
