A research was taken amongst over 400 men from their younger age till when they got older to discover their greatest needs as they went through the journey of life. As they where younger, majority aspiration were wealth and possessions while some where money and assets. I guess they mean the same thing, which means that presently, most young people greatest desires are fame and wealth. These young men became much older and the final results that were drawn from these follow up was that, majority that had no family or went through divorce or had family division died faster than the people who had people to love them. For the ones who didn't die, suffers depression and unhappiness as am writing to you.

Does this mean that we get to know our greatest needs in life as we get older? With all these social media noise craving for independency for both love and career makes one focus more on one self without actually building relationships that could feed them when they get old. Independency won't be sustainable for anyone but only interdependency. In the end of the day, we all need people to love us back, work for us and care about our wellbeing. So if you get so busy chasing the things of life without love or building solid relationships with your spouse, family and friends, you might think you are really smart, but sorry to say, that act will cost you so much, maybe not now.
Relationships are the most valueble currency you can ever have
Close your ears from this World Noise

Yes! The world is very noisy and it can be really distracting. Financial freedom is one of the best thing that can happen to anyone but remember, as you work hard never forget to love people, never forget to build relationships, never forget your family because that is all that will matter when you probably start aging.
There was a man who loves his work to the core, he loves his wife too and children, but was rarely around. Whenever he comes late, he goes straight to bed and chat with his wife before they go to sleep.This continued for years. Finally, when he retired, he saw grown men and women having dinner with him. Those were his children. At that stage, he was amazed how they had grown but was very sad that he did not get to notice and not just only noticing but following up. He tried to become much closer but it was pretty weird for his children. Finally, they got married. No one visited because they probably did not know what to talk about with their dad. They always try to avoid awkward situations with him.
From this story, in every action we do, we teach people closest to us. This same problem is now going in circles where the children no longer care. Their dad has indirectly taught them the real deal of not paying attention to sensitive things. That is, it is either they learn from it and become better or they act just the same. What ever we do to people, that same people will use that very measure to do for us and do to other people.
Don't be that person that does the A-hah! When you finally get to notice how elegant your spouse is or how grown your children are. Building something requires following up the process which is more sustainable that starting at the very middle of the movie.
The "I want to be alone crap" we claim we feel will end someday not now probably, someday I say and we will look back at the relationships we've built along the years with people who were ready to love us.
Don't Ever Neglet People Who Are Ready To Love You

There is a saying which goes "We want people who can't die for us but neglect does who can". There is no better thing than to loved, so whenever you meet people who are ready to be available for you all the time, don't take them for granted, bring them close, they will matter one day and that day will be unforgettable. I tell girls not to abandon the "other guys" who are always available to help them even if they were in relationships. Simply make thing clear with them and still check up on them. You are building treasures in your warehouse and you might need those treasures some day.
Notwithstanding, there are some relationships you might do away with if it will cost you your peace or happiness, don't ever feel you need to keep them all in the name of keeping treasures that might help oneday. So long your health, peace or security is being tampered with, take two steps backward.
Old age is inevitable
Old age could be boring without people who love you
Old age is waiting everyday for you
How are you preparing for it?
....successful people are long term thinkers, think about your old age with people. Then you are indeed successful.
