Is it mandatory to achieve everything?
Why are we not satisfied with what we already have?
Why do we want more and more…?
When nature starts giving us more than our expectations, we start demanding more.
And when we are unable to fulfil our demands and greed, we get sad and curse the God.
The poor people live much happier lives than the rich ones, just because the poor only prays for a square meal for their family and they never forget to thank God for the same.
But on the contrary, the rich section of society never gets satisfied by anything. They always hope for a little extra.
For that “extra”, they spend their whole life toiling.
After getting what they wanted, they do not stop there, then they think of the ways to secure it and always live in the fear of losing their wealth and power.
I am not saying that one should not try to earn more money, as money has become the driving force of each necessity and to be frank, “What will we eat, if we do not earn”?
I just want to share my thoughts with you and ask you to introspect yourself with a simple question, “With whom do you want to live after having earned huge sum of money and luxury?”
Obviously with your family and your loved ones, right?
Then, why do we always take them for granted throughout our life.
“If you lose money, you can earn it back but if you lose your loved ones, they may never come back.”
Career and goals should be our priority, I do agree, but family and friends are also standing somewhere, waiting for just one smile and a hug. They are not demanding much, only a few minutes of our precious time could give them immense happiness.
“Money and social status will not do any good to us, at the time of our death, the money will just pay our hospital bills, but the goodbye with heavy hearts and wet eyes will only be given by our loved ones.”
Those who love us and care for us, deserves the same.
So, do not miss any opportunity as life is uncertain and anything could happen at any moment.
“Don’t wait till tomorrow, maybe it will never come.”
