Have you ever dreamed of winning the lottery, or looking at a
rainbow, wishing there really was a pot of gold?
Isn't if funny how money can do strange things to people,
relationships, and the effects it can have on our everyday
lives. We've all had those days where you check your coat
pockets, your ash-tray (for us non-smokers), or raid the piggy
bank for a little spare change. Some have been fortunate enough
to win a large sum of money, are born into money, or achieved
large salaries and luxury lifestyles, but are often still
lonely, unhappy, or unfulfilled?
There is one thing that money can't put a price on and that is
friends and family. True friends, and close family are there for
you through thick and thin, good days and bad. They offer
support when it is needed, make us laugh, share a cry, and fill
our lives with joy and a feeling that is priceless.
Certainly, I agree that having money is essential to enjoying
everyday things in life from eating out, seeing a movie, to
owning a car, or a home. However, instead of always focusing on
the "what next, I wish I had, I wish I could, or the I want
more", take a break to focus that energy into what is really
important - Your friends and family.
If you want to truly feel fulfilled and happy, just remember,
friends and family and the relationships we share with them are
worth more than gold!
