“Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty.”
Socrates
Some of us may be rich because of money, but scientists are rich because of what they know, and many young men value having a girlfriend. Some people make the mistake of thinking that drugs are wealth, which is sad. When it comes to You Tubers, their wealth is based on how many views and subscribers they have.
Money can give you a sense of relief and comfort, but it can’t make you happy, especially during difficult times. In a strange way, having too much money can cause more stress.
So, dear readers, you may have a comfortable life, but that doesn’t mean you’re all happy.
You might have started to scratch your head and wonder why comfort and happiness aren’t the same thing.
How come no one told you this before?
Don’t worry, I’ll tell you how comfort and happiness are different.
Comfort is a feeling of physical ease and relaxation, and contentment is a feeling of being happy with what you have.
For a short time, comfort can make you feel less stressed or bored, but it doesn’t bring lasting happiness or peace.
Happiness, on the other hand, comes from inside. Even though short-term comfort is nice, it will never make you truly happy.
Being happy is one of the most important things in life.
But true happiness comes from having faith in God. Why? Because faith in God connects us with Him and that connection makes the soul completely content and therefore completely happy.
Contentment and happiness, therefore, come from Divine connection. It’s wrong to think that money and success can really make you happy. Connecting with God is what will give you real peace, happiness, and satisfaction.
It’s not about having more money, things, girlfriends, or subscribers. Instead, it’s about being happy in connection with God.
The love of God is what is true connection with God and only love of God makes a person wealthy. Without love, a person has no soul and no reason to live. On the other hand, someone who has no connection with God is like a living dead!
Our soul wants to love God, but not knowing how and why, often leads to frustration, tension, depression, and other unpleasant feelings.
To find true happiness, we need to learn to love God and you can only do this by associating with people who are devoted to God.
Therefore, try to know God. Love Him in association of those who love Him. Only then you shall be happy, which is what it means to have ‘Real Wealth.’
