happiness is personnal...money overrated !

My dear readers,

Just back on the blog after 1 month of rest, deep thinking and introspection. I would like to sincerely apologize for the readers who were maybe expecting a continue flow from when I started. You know, I always said that I cannot write when I ' m not well in my head because it 's easy to deviate from the real message. The last few weeks were shaky for me and I had the feeling to be on a small rusty boat sailing through the middle of a sea storm, unsure if I would make it through. I am fine now and I certainly know what I want. It is part of life to ask yourself questions because if you don't, you take the risk to be driven by others.

I believe that money, Material possessions and careers are overrated when it comes to live a full life.What counts is to live the lifestyle you always wanted inside. I know that some of you will say " yes but my lifestyle is to have a lot of money, cars and material "... and I will tell you no problems my friend, I do enjoy all this myself too, driving nice cars and feeling comfortable with money is pleasant and you should not deny this or it will never come. What is wrong is to believe that all of this is an end by itself. Our Society has based success on these wrong pillars. So many of us find themselves on the wrong path because they are where they are for money or power. They are followers because they never ask themselves the right questions to evaluate whether they really created their lives. If you had all the money in the world, what would you do ? the same as today ? I doubt it. Then re-evaluate this and maybe you could adjust and get closer to it. Living the life that others have designed for you is accepting defeat. If you feel that you are happy just looking for the money and material then fine, don't change it, as I said happiness is personal and it can really be your thing. Most of the time though, it will never  create a productive pattern and can be self destructive. I believe that passion and wisdom are bedrocks of a full life, money is energy that can be compared as a car :  it will drive you faster to your point but you don' t really need it, you can walk. Also if you use it wrongly you will crash.

I will finish with this story of 2 Mexican guys who spend their days enjoying fishing in front of their lake, one day the first one tells the other 

_ what if we open a big company and sell a lot of fishes of all kind... and so we would have a mega industry with big boats going all over the oceans to bring the best fishes and we would get rich and so we would be free  and could fish whenever we want together...

_ Fishing whenever we want ? This is what we already do ! finishes the other...

I think it is true, sometimes we look for a lot of  paths and ways to get rich, happy complicating our existing life to bring the same result as we could enjoy just now. Others are driving you and tell you that you need this and that if you want success and happiness, these people will tell you what it is to live your life happy...insane. You can reply " You know, Everybody is different but apparently you are not ; ) "

You take care my friends.
