Money and happiness

Money and happiness are two of the most powerful forces in our lives, but what is so interesting is how we have convinced ourselves that there is a powerful connection between them: We seem to think that if we were rich, our lives would be perfect.However most of the time this proved otherwise.
People who have lots of money does not create or sustain happiness. That is not to say that money is not an important factor in our emotional state...if we cannot pay our bills and support our families, we carry a great deal of stress on our shoulders and in our hearts. But it is seriously no logic to jump to conclusion that "money is power and much more important" to "money is the key to happiness."
It is a proven fact that some lottery winners or those who suddenly become rich (with whatever method) tend to lavish themselves with all kinds of everything after they hit the jackpot, but within a few years, went out of control with this situation and ended up being miserable with their lives.
This is also applicable to how some people have this weird relationship with food. When they are unhappy, they will turn to food for comfort which they believe, either consciously or subconsciously, will make them feel better. Sure, that very nice and tasty food might give them just a nice temporary lift, just like buying a great new handbag or outfit...but it is temporary.

Truth and Consequences
The message is that happiness is not tied to how much money you have—how much you had in the past or hope to have in the future...but how you deal with what you have right now.

Obviously, It is understood that it is far more difficult to live on $20,000 a year than $200,000. But we all have the capacity to take control of our lives,regardless of our bank accounts... to commit to making the right decisions for ourselves and our family. When we do that, we are on the road to happiness. When you are happy, you create your own financial stability by living within your means.

Power moves
Most people are unhappy because they are not being honest with themselves. Being truthful with yourself, you have to have that power in you, whether it is your relationship with money or with a partner. You are not going to be contented with lives. To be successful means you have to connect heart and manage your finance with all your energy. It is within you to make the right choices rather than fall to your weakness. In this way, you will feel better because your finances are in good shape, and also because you took the initiative to create a life based on honesty. This is a sure and priceless route to ultimate happiness.
