Do You Know the Truth that Money Does not Make You Happy? – (1841)

We Have Heard it So Many Times But it Hasn’t Sunk In

When a special moment comes along where one has to decide between money and ethics or between money and one’s work or one’s inner Being then one really has the best opportunity to understand this truth spoken about so often!


Contrast

One may have the chance to take a good quantity of money but at the expense of something! Always at the expense of something else. This something else is usually the real thing that makes you happy. We think that taking the money will make us happy, but you know and everyone else says that it won’t. It seems as if it will but it won’t. The Being, ethics, living an upright life, the joy, security and peace of upright conduct is what gives you happiness!

This is maybe best known when we have to answer to God or the Law when we die. Image you are there in front of the Divine Law and contrast the two situations having taken that money at the expense of some of the values of your own soul or not having taken that money and have kept intact the values of your own soul.

Your own essence will answer that question instantly for you!

Conclusion

This truth is something so simple and clichéd but very true! The values of your own soul or money? Which has more value to you? One has a priceless and eternal value and one has a relative value that crumbles in time and matter.

End (1841).
