Can You Be Happy Without Money?…

That’s a loaded question. But one that needs to be discussed.

Everything in life is a matter of perspective. You’ll find the happiest people on earth and will learn that some of them have incredible wealth and some live well below the poverty line.

How come? Because if you remove the money from the equation, both sets of people will be happy regardless.

And you can absolutely say the same thing on the other side of the spectrum. There are lots of people who are very unhappy while being wealthy and very unhappy living below the poverty line.

I truly believe that money just amplifies who you already are. If you learn to be happy without having money, you’ll also be happy when you have money. Happy people focus on living in the moment and understand that the things around them is all they need to be happy.

When they become rich, they get to keep being happy and enjoy life on a different level. But the core emotions will always be there.

If you are a negative, pessimistic individual while you don’t have money… Getting more money won’t make you any happier. Sure, it will be “fun” going and buying your dream home… But that wears off quick if your head is not in the right space. Soon enough you are back to being your miserable self.

Can an unhappy person become naturally more happy? Absolutely, but not without effort. I’ve seen it first hand, especially in my family.

My parents were some of the most negative and pessimistic people you could ever meet when I was growing up. My mom would be on the phone every day with her other chatty friends, discussing and putting down everyone they know.

I don’t know how, but I was always the black sheep, from an early age… realizing that I don’t want to grow up to be like that.

I fought really hard to turn myself into an optimist. And with time and lots of work with my parents on this (hard conversations), I can see how much progress they made.

It’s crazy to say that they are far more positive than negative today. It’s truly surprising. Now that I can provide for them, they are taking it all in a completely different way than I would of imagined it.

So yes, it’s possible. And if you know you need to change, you should.

I don’t believe that “positivity will bring you the riches” cuz you are such an optimist. But I do believe that making lots of money while being a positive person, is the better experience.
