Everyone talks about how happiness, family, health matters more than money.
I disagree with anyone who says so.
Why?
Because money is the only instrument that can make you happy, make your family happy, pay for your gyms and those health products and pretty much for everything else in this world.
Today, the answer to the major problems in your life is money.
The money will get you the house and the car you always wanted.
Having enough money will solve more than 80% of your life problems.
But not everyone can make enough money in their life.
So where does the problem comes?
If everyone knows that money is so much important, and we have seen that anyone can make any amount of money in their lifetime, why couldn't everyone make enough money in their life?
The problem comes at a point where everyone has to make a choice.
Life is a series of choices.
At every point, we need to choose.
Most of the people in this world could not figure out what they want to do in their life or with their life.
The small proportion of people who could figure so, let's say 10% of the total, find it hard to stick with their motives or plans of life.
Why so?
Because when they find out what they want to do, the money element comes into the picture.
It may sound a general and ordinary truth, but this is what decides our life.
I bet that most of you want to do something else in your life than what you are currently doing.
But the only reason you are not doing it is that either you do not have enough money to do so, or you believe that you can not make enough money to live a content life while doing what you want to do.
That's where people fail to make a good choice for their life.
That's where I am failing again and again to make that choice.
I am choosing to do things that make money easily than to do things that I believe I am made for.
Because I think I can not survive on that path financially over the long run if I choose to do so.
So I stick with an easier choice and keep doing what I was doing.
Keep riding the ride and let it take me where ever it wants to take me.
But in doing so, I figure out again and again that I end up in the same place where I started.
Again at the same choice to keep doing what I was doing or to change and do something better, something different.
Everyone ends at the same place where they started.
If only I could do that, I wish I could do that.
The struggles are real and 1000 times than the life I am living now.
Why destroy my comfort and everything I have made in years just to try something I want to do.
What will be my future.
But this time I think I will keep everything on the table, and once ride the ride, I always wanted to.
This time, I will enjoy everything on this ride and eventually live a better life, a better one than I am living now.
It is a time to make the decision that I regret not making for so long.
And it is never too late to do so....
My daytime job is to train kids in football. I don't do it because of the money because I know that there are many places I could earn a lot more. I do it because I'm in love with the game. I love inspiring those kids to train more and more reaching their goals! It inspires me to do more and more.
Of course there are times when I'm tired or want to take a break - then all I think is money - I could do so many things if I had the funds. That's one of the reasons I joined Steemit. Steemit can help you get that extra bit of money for sharing the stuff you love.
Thanks for this post! Made me think.
You love your job and you inspire people.
We always want more and that is never going to end till we are alive.
So, I am happy for you that you are living a good life and trying for a better one.
Hope you achieve much more.
I am happy that you liked this post.
Thank you for your kind words!
We are the change we want to see in the world! Keep on writing and do it more!
Thanks, will try to write regularly.
Yeah I've always heard from others about others who say that money CAN'T buy you happiness don't have money? There is some truth to this but I don't believe money can buy you happiness. It certainly can make life easier but can also make it much more difficult too. Would I rather have an abundance of it over a lack... yes. It is of course a tool within life and if used properly can bring much joy. "I am choosing to do things that makes money easily than to do things I believe I am made for." speaks volumes!
yepp, I know.
There are things that nobody and nothing can control, let alone money.
But what I am saying is money factor has a big effect in deciding our lives.
I agree brother! Like I said it is a tool that if used correctly can only make one's life easier. I could certainly use more of it as every year that goes by more hands appear in my life wanting more of it from me for sure! Enjoyed!
Then it will be better to make more, and provide more to those hands.
There is more fun in giving than taking.
totally agree. Money can be a priority, or not. Often, money dictates what kind of life choices we make. Swing to the extremes of making money or enjoying yourself too much without a care on your expenses, over time, we'll find ourselves extremely unhappy. I always feel that it's important to have a fix monetary goal, something like a "F U" fund. Once you reach that all important number with all your financial plan in place, then you should go reward yourself with the stuff you always wanted to do.
We only have one shot in this life. It's definitely not worth it regretting over the bad life decision we've made.
A monetary goal is extremely important.
I keep on pressing to achieve my monetary goal, though I keep spending a lot on the stuff I want.
Hope we achieve the goals and far above it we have set.
And you are right, we have one big shot, and I am making a home run on this one now.
So what's your hodling strategy?
In Crypto?
yup
Guess you should take that leap of faith and believe that everything will go well if you keep following your heart. I'm in a similar situation here and have decided to create and post all my travel videos on Steemit before deciding to take any decision. If this works out pretty well...then you know the rest.
All the best man! :)
Thanks bro.
I know, I have read your youtube post, hope you find your way on steemit and dtube.
There is one more platform on crypto world, it is based solely on videos and may give a tough competition to youtube.
It is LBRY platform. I have tried it once a few months back, it is quite good.
You should try it too.
Sounds interesting. lbry.io right?
I'll try it out. On what basis do they pay there?
Yepp, it is lbry.io
It is almost like steemit, but here the focus is on articles, there the sole focus is on videos.
Except that, it is almost the same, they have the platform, an app, and steem like crypto currency called LBRY Credits, which has quite a potential to increase, if I had any video skills, I would be there for the long run.
One more thing, one of the founder of LBRY was kicked out of youtube, and that's why he made it. Maybe you will find your way there.
Alright. All the best to you bud!
Everything will work out well. :)
Thanks....
^ your words reminded me of those lines.
What we think, we become.
What we act, we face.
What we do, we are.
The plot I found is the belief system and decision are responsible for his health, wealth, and entire achievements. That's wonderful!
Thanks for sharing Eleanor Roosevelt lines with me.
What we think we become: always lived by it.

Dear @sabbirahmedd
I saw your profile and I appreciate that you are working hard to write good posts.
But there was nothing that interests me, so I didn't upvoted it.
Maybe you can find someone who is interested in your content, he/she can upvote your posts.
Thanks for appreciating my work, but I believe I am still a shitty writer, trying to improve myself.
Hope to get success in writing soon.
Whether you want to support me everytime or not doesn't matter to me. The amount of votes I get barely matters for me.
Thankyou.
