What will make you happy, secure, fulfilled ??
Question: I got this question on another website, and it got me thinking of all kinds of things. My goals are mainly financil, but I want to know what you guys think.
Answers: This will sound corny, but I say a relationship with God (and others). In the past I focused on education, job and money. I was successful. It didn't make me happy, secure and fulfilled. No matter how much I acchieved I was never satisfied and only wanted more. I was worried about losing it all after seeing others lose it. I started focusing on relationships. I'm more happy, secure and fulfilled. Who would of thought I would find more security in relationships than I would in money
deciding i was ok... for me i would always try and put a condition on my happieness, i will be happy when X happens (i got a girlfriend, i got more money,im in great shape). the fact of the matter is those arent things that make you happy, its something that you have to decide... wether your gonna be blown around by the random events of life, or if you want to maintain a reasonable level of contentment.
btw, i also have alot of goal, many of them financial, but i never really appreciated them, or achieving them while i was making them a condition of being happy, because the second i achieved one, id replace it with a bigger one and make my happiness conditional on that... you only get one life, live it and enjoy it.. grab it by the balls if you will and ride it to town, but dont spend it chasing after this goal or that before you could feel good about yourself and your life
finance or money are not everything! can money make me sleep when i'm so worried..can money bring love back when its over..can money bring sons back to their parents after they fall in addiction life..can money bring secure to x who lost his memory..or his mind..what can money do to those who have a down syndrome son or daughter...do you beleive money can make me happy,secured,fullfilled after all this...
I need to be financially secured to an extent that I do not have to worry about paying bills. I do not need to rich, but I need to have enough so there is some left over to enjoy. I haven't been this way in over 10 years, and I do know when I was financially secure I recall not letting too many problems bother me ... and I seemed to enjoy relationships more, etc.
A million dollars and a supermodel!
Let's see what would make me happy is making enough money or finding someway to support my family so that none of us ever have to work another day in our lives and we can just enjoy life and not have to do the rat race and daily life. Security for me would be financial. I have a man who I love and who takes care of me so I don't worry about that. Fulfillment would be to someday get married, move out of my parent's house and have children. Living with my beloved to a ripe old age would fulfill me
As a generalisation, there are 6 categories for fulfillment (it's actually different for everyone, but these are a good rule of thumb) ..
- health
- spirituality
- family & friends
- relationship / spouse
- career
- finances.
A lot of people tend to get caught up in one or two..eg when i make $$$ i'll be happy, or when i get my promotion, or when i get married ... but then the when happens, and they realise they're happy for a little while, but then unhappy again ... you need to focus on the whole lot and work towards getting them all up there - and pushing yourself towards setting and striving for goals in all your areas ...
I think any best friend in life make me happy, i feel secure in his/her company and he is going to fulfill all my happiness with his/her gentle smile so can you be my friend
financial security, healthy body and a good woman.
