Money Doesn’t Buy Happiness
Money and the comforts it can purchase can’t protect you from fear. A big house, in a gated community can’t protect your mind from thoughts, self judgments, and emotions.
A private plane doesn’t protect you from the fear of flying. A life insurance policy for $10,000,000 doesn’t insulate you from the fear of death, ill health, or the fear of losing a loved one.
No amount of money can protect you from an untamed mind that can take your emotions into a downward spiral of suffering.
If money buys happiness then Howard Hughes would have been one of the happiest people in the world. As it turns out his money didn’t protect him from his thoughts, beliefs, and fears.
The reason part of the mind looks for simple rules to describe the nature of emotions like happiness. What people find difficult to accept is that one exception like Howard Hughes breaks the rules. Money doesn’t by happiness. It’s just one factor of how your mind affects your happiness and your emotions.
What can protect you from fear, self judgment, and false beliefs is awareness and love. Awareness and Love can create and insure happiness.
